Patent number: 11004273Abstract: An information processing device that includes a display control unit to perform display control such that a first virtual object corresponding to content is contained in a rendering image of the content when a position of the content defined in a virtual space and a position of a viewpoint defined in the virtual space have a first positional relation, and a second virtual object corresponding to the content is contained in the rendering image when the position of the content and the position of the viewpoint have a second positional relation. A distance between the position of the content and the position of the viewpoint in the second positional relation is shorter than a distance between the position of the content and the position of the viewpoint in the first positional relation, and visibility of the second virtual object is lower than visibility of the first virtual object.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2020Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Assignee: SONY CORPORATIONInventors: Ryo Fukazawa, Kuniaki Torii, Takahiro Okayama, Kazuomi Kondo

Publication number: 20200242847Abstract: An information processing device that includes a display control unit to perform display control such that a first virtual object corresponding to content is contained in a rendering image of the content to be displayed in a case in which a position of the content defined in a virtual space and a position of a viewpoint defined in the virtual space to generate the rendering image are determined to have a first positional relation, and a second virtual object corresponding to the content is contained in the rendering image to be displayed in a case in which the position of the content and the position of the viewpoint are determined to have a second positional relation. A distance between the position of the content and the position of the viewpoint in the second positional relation is shorter than a distance between the position of the content and the position of the viewpoint in the first positional relation, and visibility of the second virtual object is lower than visibility of the first virtual object.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2020Publication date: July 30, 2020Inventors: RYO FUKAZAWA, KUNIAKI TORII, TAKAHIRO OKAYAMA, KAZUOMI KONDO
