Abstract: The present technology relates to an image processing device, an image processing method, and an image provision system that enable simultaneous grasping of an image viewed by a counterpart and a position of the counterpart in a virtual space. An HMD receives a viewpoint image of a user that is an image viewed from a viewpoint of the user in a virtual space, a viewpoint image of another user viewed from a viewpoint of the another user, viewpoint position information indicating a position of the another user, and line-of-sight information indicating a line-of-sight direction of the another user. A display control unit controls display of the viewpoint image of the another user to be superimposed on the viewpoint image of the user on the basis of a positional relationship of the user and the another user in the virtual space determined using the viewpoint position information and the line-of-sight information of the another user. The present technology can be applied to a model room preview system.

Abstract: A thermal recording material of the invention contains, as a storability improver, tris(2-methyl-4-hydroxy-5-t-butylphenyl)butane trapping and containing water and/or methanol and having a crystal structure that shows a maximum X-ray diffraction peak at a diffraction angle 2? of 6.58° according to X-ray diffraction measurement using an X ray having a wavelength of a Cu—K? line. The recording material has improved heat resistance in non-printing sections while maintaining the moisture-and-heat resistance in printing sections. The thermal recording material of the invention has a thermal-recording layer that contains the tris(2-methyl-4-hydroxy-5-t-butylphenyl)butane in an amount of preferably 0.1 to 15% by mass with respect to the thermal-recording layer. The amount of the water and/or methanol trapped and contained in the tris(2-methyl-4-hydroxy-5-t-butylphenyl)butane is preferably 0.1 to 10% by mass in total.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a measuring unit, a transmitter, and a receiver. The measuring unit first measures the performance of the information processing apparatus. The transmitter then transmits measurement results in the form of information indicating the performance measured by the measuring unit, together with a content request requesting desired content, to another information processing apparatus. The receiver subsequently receives content from the other information processing apparatus that has been supplied according to the content request and selected on the basis of the measurement results. In so doing, the information processing load is suitably adjusted according to the performance of the information processing apparatus.

Abstract: An audio playing apparatus that plays a multiplexed audio stream resulting from the multiplexing of multiple kinds of audio is disclosed. The apparatus can be switched at least between a mixing output mode for mixing decoded data or uncompressed data of the audio streams of multiple kinds of audio and outputting the result to one audio output terminal and a separate output mode for outputting the audio streams of multiple kinds of audio to separate audio output terminals independently.
