Publication number: 20250037457Abstract: Provided are an apparatus and a method that performs selection or display mode change of a virtual object to be displayed depending on a real object type in a target area to be a display area for the virtual object. Included are an object identification unit that executes identification processing of a real object in the real world, and a content display control unit that generates an AR image in which a real object and a virtual object are superimposed and displayed. The object identification unit identifies a real object in the target area to be the display area for the virtual object, and the content display control unit performs processing of selecting the virtual object to be displayed or processing of changing the display mode depending on the object identification result.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 10, 2024Publication date: January 30, 2025Applicant: SONY GROUP CORPORATIONInventors: Tomohiko GOTOH, Hidenori AOKI, Fujio ARAI, Keijiroh NAGANO, Ryo FUKAZAWA, Haruka FUJISAWA

Patent number: 11914760Abstract: Provided is an information processing device, and an information processing method for curbing occurrence of a feeling of strangeness in augmented reality in a use environment for a plurality of people. Position information indicating the self position of an AR device that outputs an AR object that is shown to the user as if the AR object existed in real space is acquired by the AR technology, and a deviation weight which is an evaluation value indicating how easily a plurality of users recognizes that an arrangement position of the AR object is deviated from each other on the basis of position information of a plurality of the AR devices and the arrangement position of the AR object. Then, the output method of the AR object is adjusted according to the deviation weight to make it difficult to recognize occurrence of the deviation.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2020Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: SONY GROUP CORPORATIONInventors: Keijiroh Nagano, Hidenori Aoki, Haruka Fujisawa, Fujio Arai, Ryo Fukazawa, Tomohiko Gotoh

Publication number: 20230127539Abstract: An information processing apparatus (1) according to an aspect of an embodiment includes a drawing unit (6b), a setting unit (6c), and an expansion unit (6e). The drawing unit (6b) draws a virtual object displayed on a display device (4). The setting unit (6c) sets a shielding object indicating the shape of a real object existing in a real space and to be superimposed on the real object. The expansion unit (6e) expands the shielding object toward the virtual object side when a shielding condition indicating that the virtual object drawn by the drawing unit (6b) is partially shielded by the shielding object set by the setting unit is satisfied.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 29, 2021Publication date: April 27, 2023Inventors: HARUKA FUJISAWA, SHUNITSU KOHARA, HAJIME WAKABAYASHI, MAKOTO DANIEL TOKUNAGA
