  • Publication number: 20230226460
    Abstract: [Problem] It is preferable to provide a technology that allows input of a position at which a person who performs a predetermined performance should be present to be easily performed in advance so that the position at which the person should be present is confirmed later. [Solution] Provided is an information processing device including a self-location acquisition unit configured to acquire self-position information of a mobile terminal in a global coordinate system linked to a real space, and a disposition position determination unit configured to acquire template data indicating a disposition pattern of at least one virtual object, and determine a position away from a current position of the mobile terminal indicated by the self-position information as a disposition position of a first virtual object in the global coordinate system, on the basis of the self-position information and the template data.

  • Patent number: 11039124
    Abstract: There is provided an information processing apparatus capable of presenting an object that is easy to be in a fusion state where connection is natural regardless of a distance, an information processing method, and a recording medium. In the information processing apparatus, a left-eye image and a right-eye image are output to acquire position information of an object in a depth direction to be perceived by a user, and a luminance correction region to be subjected to luminance correction is set to at least one of a first display region that is included in a display region for the left-eye image and overlaps a display region for the right-eye image, or a second display region that is included in the display region for the right-eye image and overlaps the display region for the left-eye image on the basis of the position information. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a transmissive HMD.
