  • Publication number: 20240174174
    Abstract: The present technology relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, a program, and an information processing system that are able to appropriately superimpose content on a scene visible from within a mobile body. The information processing apparatus includes a recognition section and a display control section. The recognition section recognizes a scene visible from within the mobile body through a transparent or translucent display surface provided in the mobile body. The display control section controls display of the content on the display surface according to the recognized scene. The present technology is applicable, for example, to a system that superimposes the content on a window of a vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20240171682
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes an acquisition section configured to acquire a situation of a subject vehicle and a situation of another vehicle, a setting section configured to set, on the basis of the situation of the subject vehicle and the situation of the other vehicle, a position in the subject vehicle at which a sound image of an occupant riding in the other vehicle is localized, and a sound image localization processing section configured to localize the sound image of the occupant at the position set by the setting section. The acquisition section acquires at least a position of a seat in which the occupant is seated, and the setting section sets an empty seat in the subject vehicle as the position where the sound image of the occupant in the other vehicle is localized. The present technology is applicable to an information processing apparatus for controlling telepresence.

  • Patent number: 11922904
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program that allow for preventing a decrease in marker recognition rate. Display of a content image that moves in a first display surface on which a marker image is displayed in a display form in which at least a part of the marker image is not shielded is controlled on the basis of first information regarding feature points of the marker image displayed on the first display surface of a terminal device; and second information regarding the feature points of the marker image on the first display surface in the display form is acquired from image data of a captured image obtained by imaging the first display surface, and a position and an orientation of the terminal device are detected on the basis of the image data.

  • Publication number: 20230083637
    Abstract: It is possible to display a frame that is comfortable for an occupant. An image processing apparatus (10) according to the present disclosure includes: an image/sound creation unit (142) that: creates a frame belonging to one of a plurality of modes as a frame of an application to be displayed on a screen provided in a vehicle; and moves before-switching and after-switching frames in a first direction parallel to or perpendicular to a vehicle travel direction in a case where an operation for switching from a frame that is being displayed to another frame in the same mode for the application is input, and moves before-switching and after-switching frames in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction in a case where an operation for switching from a frame that is being displayed to another frame in a different mode for the application is input.

  • Publication number: 20230085310
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an image processing device, an image processing method, a program, and an image presentation system capable of presenting a more suitable image to the interior of a vehicle. An image processing unit generates a presentation image to be presented to the interior of a second vehicle that is traveling, on the basis of a vehicle external image obtained by capturing an environment outside a first vehicle that is traveling. The present disclosure can be applied to, for example, a projector type presentation device.
