Abstract: Provided is an augmented reality display technology capable of more entertaining a user. An augmented reality display device 10 includes an imaging unit 13, a special effect execution unit 11b, and a display unit 14. The imaging unit 13 acquires a background image of a real world. When a plurality of models for a specific combination are present in a virtual space, the special effect execution unit 11b executes a special effect corresponding to the combination of the models. The display unit 14 displays the models together with the background image based on the special effect.

Abstract: A server apparatus obtains positional information of a first terminal device and photographed image data on an image photographed by using the first terminal device. The server apparatus specifies a target object included in the photographed image data. The server apparatus obtains drawing information indicating content of a drawing process against the target object via the first terminal device. The server apparatus outputs superimposed information to the first terminal device or a second terminal device before a first user of the first terminal device or a second user of the second terminal device photographs the target object to which the content of the drawing process is attached. The superimposed information is used to cause the first terminal device or the second terminal device to superimpose the drawing information onto the target object included in the photographed image data and display the superimposed target object.

Abstract: Examples described herein include methods for producing an augmented reality image. An example method includes a portable computer terminal obtaining a first estimated position and a first estimated orientation of a first scene; producing a first estimated image of the first scene; obtaining a first camera picture of the first scene; executing a first pattern matching between the first estimated image and the first camera picture; adjusting the approximate position and/or orientation of the portable computer terminal; executing a second pattern matching; and producing an augmented reality image considering the current position and orientation of the portable computer terminal.

Abstract: Provided is an augmented reality technology configured to combine images in a virtual space in real-time. An augmented reality display device includes an imaging unit that acquires a background image of a real world, a model control unit that controls a two-dimensional or three-dimensional model in a virtual space, and a display unit that displays the model together with the background image. The model includes one or a plurality of joints connectable to another model. The model control unit controls each model to connect a joint of a first model and a joint of a second model in the virtual space.

Abstract: An AR space image projecting system is configured to: acquire a depth map of an area photographed by a photographing unit; specify at least one three-dimensional object existing in the area; receive designation of a projected image; receive a projection execution input in a state where the projected image is superimposed onto the three-dimensional object and the superimposed projected image is displayed; specify, when the projection execution input is received, onto what position of the three-dimensional object the projected image is projected, and register information on the projected image and information on a projected position so as to be associated with the three-dimensional object information; and superimpose the projected image on the three-dimensional object reflected on a display unit and display the three-dimensional object thus superimposed in a case where the three-dimensional object onto which the projected image is projected is photographed by the photographing unit.
