Abstract: An information processor acquires information regarding a position and exterior appearance of a target object in a real space, places multiple virtual volume elements in a virtual space at positions corresponding to at least along the exterior appearance of the target object in the real space determined by the acquirer and generates virtual space information representing the target object as a cluster of the virtual volume elements. The information processor detects time variation information of the virtual space information representing shift of at least a portion of the virtual volume elements and estimates positions of the virtual volume elements after a predetermined time duration based on the detected time variation information.

Abstract: A position data acquiring unit 200 acquires position data indicating a position of a real object. A delay deriving unit 206 derives delay time in an information processing system 1. A motion predicting unit 300 predicts a movement of the object, and identifies an object position at a future time on the basis of the position data acquired by the position data acquiring unit 200, the predetermined length of time being equal to or longer than the delay time. An image generating unit 302 generates a prediction image in which the object position at the future time is reflected. A display image providing unit 204 acquires the generated prediction image, and provides the prediction image to an HMD.

Abstract: The present invention provides a novel cancer marker for testing a morbidity risk of a cancer. The cancer marker according to the present invention is a prorenin receptor. A test method for testing a morbidity risk of a cancer according to the present invention includes measuring a prorenin receptor expression in a biological specimen obtained from a subject and further includes, for example, a step of comparing a prorenin receptor expression level in the biological specimen obtained from the subject with a reference value to test the morbidity risk of the cancer in the subject. The reference value is a prorenin receptor expression level in a biological specimen obtained from a healthy subject or a cancer patient. When the expression level in the subject is higher than that in the healthy subject or identical to or higher than that in the cancer patient, it can be evaluated that the subject has the mobility risk of the cancer.
