Publication number: 20220343583Abstract: When an operation detection unit (31) (detection unit) of a mobile terminal (30a) (information processing apparatus) detects an operation instruction given when observing a 3D model (90M) (3D object), a texture information selection unit (33) (decision unit) selects which texture information (Ta or Tb) that expresses the texture of the 3D model (90M) in a plurality of different formats acquired by a 3D model acquisition unit (32) to use when drawing the 3D model (90M) according to the operation instruction detected by the operation detection unit (31). Then, a rendering processing unit (34) (drawing unit) renders the texture information (Ta or Tb) selected by the texture information selection unit (33) on the 3D model (90M) reconstructed on the basis of mesh information (M) (shape information) so as to draw the 3D model (90M).Type: ApplicationFiled: August 17, 2020Publication date: October 27, 2022Applicant: SONY GROUP CORPORATIONInventors: Hisako SUGANO, Yoichi HIROTA, Nobuaki IZUMI, Junji OI

Patent number: 11477396Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a reproducing device, a reproducing method, and a program that enable a wide angle of view video and a planar video that is a part of the wide angle of view video to be switched and viewed without a sense of incongruity. A video controller determines whether or not a line quality is capable of bearing a display of the wide angle of view video on the basis of the line quality including a line speed of the wide angle of view video supplied from a server or a remaining amount of buffer data of the wide angle of view video and the partial video. In a case where the line quality is not capable of bearing the display of the wide angle of view video, at a timing immediately before switching the display between the wide angle of view video and the partial video, after the wide angle of view video together with a white frame indicating the angle of view of the partial video corresponding to the wide angle of view video is displayed, and the display is switched to the partial video.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2020Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: SONY GROUP CORPORATIONInventors: Tomohiro Ooi, Junji Oi, Satoshi Suzuki
