Abstract: An information processing device connected to a display device and to a sensor which detects relative positions of a user and the display device is provided. This information processing device acquires information indicating the relative positions of the user and the display device and detected by the sensor, and controls a position or a posture of at least one virtual object as a control target within data of a video on the basis of the acquired information indicating the relative positions of the user and the display device. Thereafter, the information processing device outputs the data of the video generated on the basis of information associated with a virtual space where the virtual object is arranged to the display device, and causes the display device to display the data.

Abstract: An App image includes a display target area displayed on a cylindrical screen, a left margin area, and a right margin area. When a particle comes into contact with a boundary of the display target area and the right margin area, a display apparatus arranges, in the left margin area, a particle in the same mode as the mode of the particle such that the particle comes into contact with a boundary of the display target area and the left margin area. The display apparatus generates a plurality of images such that as the particle moves out to the right margin area from the display target area, the particle enters the display target area from the left margin area.

Abstract: An audio confirmation system includes a voice acquiring section configured to acquire a voice contained in a motion picture; a voice text producing section configured to produce a voice text based on the acquired voice; a determining section configured to determine whether or not the produced voice text and a caption text that is embedded in an image contained in the motion picture correspond to each other; and an outputting section configured to output a result of the determination of the determining section.

Abstract: A contact determination section determines whether or not there is any contact between a body part of a user and an object in a real world. An AR region determination section determines, as an augmented reality region, a region that corresponds to a partial space including a portion of the object in the real world, the portion having been contacted by the body part, and that is viewed from a viewpoint of the user. An AR generation section generates an augmented reality image in the augmented reality region in a shot image of the real world.

Abstract: A moving-object position and orientation acquisition section acquires a position and an orientation of a moving object detected by a tracker provided in the moving object to be moved by a user. An AR region determination section determines, as an augmented reality region, a region that corresponds to a partial space occupied by the moving object in a real world and viewed from a viewpoint of the user. The moving object is configured to be moved by the user. An AR generation section generates an augmented reality image in the augmented reality region in a shot image of the real world.

Abstract: A head-mounted display that displays an image representing appearance obtained when an object is viewed from a point of view disposed in a virtual three-dimensional space, includes a detecting section that detects rotation of the head-mounted display and a display control section that carries out control to cause displaying of an image representing appearance obtained when the object is viewed from the point of view that has relatively revolved in the direction of the detected rotation while the position of a point of gaze is kept in response to the detection of the rotation by the detecting section.

Abstract: To enhance the sound quality in the case where a directional speaker is used to allow a user to hear sounds coming from various directions. An information processing apparatus includes sound data acquisition means for acquiring data indicative of one piece of audio including treble audio and bass audio, volume determination means for determining a volume of the bass audio and a volume of the treble audio on the basis of a distance from a reflection position at which a sound from a high directional speaker is reflected to a user and a distance from a low directional speaker lower in directionality than the high directional speaker to the user, and speaker control means for making the low directional speaker output the bass audio and the high directional speaker output the treble audio on the basis of the determined volumes.
