Abstract: A terminal device according to one aspect presents an augmented reality space to a user. The terminal device includes: an image-capturing unit configured to capture an image of a real space; a display unit configured to display an augmented reality space image representing the augmented reality space including the real space captured by the image-capturing unit and a virtual object; a determination unit configured to determine at least a part of the virtual object as an operation target; and an object control unit configured to control an operation of the operation target in the augmented reality space. The object control unit detects a direction and an amount of a movement of the terminal device after the operation target is determined and moves the operation target based on the detected direction and amount of the movement of the terminal device.

Abstract: Provided is a content distribution server which is able to establish restrictions on the public disclosure of an object displayed in virtual space at the convenience of the distributor. The content distribution server comprises: a distribution unit that distributes live content for synthesizing video in virtual space using information from the distributor as virtual character information; and a first setting receiving unit that receives from the distributor terminal used by the distributor public disclosure restriction settings for establishing restrictions on objects present in virtual space displayed on the distributor terminal that can be viewed on a viewer terminal used by a viewer to view live content.

Abstract: In a recording device configured to record a motion of an object in a virtual space, a data structure of data related to the motion of the object recorded by the recording device is used for a process of reproducing the motion of the object in the reproduction device. The recording device includes a controller and a storage. The controller causes the storage to store, in association with the object, the data related to the motion of the object and data related to available functions for a process of moving the object. The data related to the available functions for the process of moving the object is stored in the storage so that the reproduction device is able to specify a function class that is reproducible by the reproduction device.

Abstract: A content provision system related to one embodiment includes at least one processor. The processor is configured to: generate action log information that records action information indicating an action of the first avatar operated while the first user views the content and specific action information indicating a timing of performance of a specific action by the first avatar and a detail of the specific action; reproduce the content along with an action of the first avatar based on the action information contained in the action log information, when a second user views the content after the first user viewed the content; and refer to the specific action information contained in the action log information and thereby arrange a display object that indicates the detail of the specific action in association with the first avatar at the timing of performance of the specific action by the first avatar being reproduced.

Abstract: When cheering of a distributor avatar by virtual avatars has been detected and the distributor avatar reacts to the cheering, a reaction motion is performed for the virtual avatars that cheered, and a normal motion that is not a reaction motion is performed for the viewer avatars that did not cheer. The motion performed for the virtual avatars that cheered differs from the motion performed for the viewer avatars that did not cheer based on timing indicated by the distributor. Either the motion performed for the virtual avatars that cheered or the motion performed for the viewer avatars that did not cheer is a predetermined motion.

Abstract: A terminal device according to one aspect presents an augmented reality space to a user. The terminal device includes: an image-capturing unit configured to capture an image of a real space; a display unit configured to display an augmented reality space image representing the augmented reality space including the real space captured by the image-capturing unit and a virtual object; a determination unit configured to determine at least a part of the virtual object as an operation target; and an object control unit configured to control an operation of the operation target in the augmented reality space. The object control unit detects a direction and an amount of a movement of the terminal device after the operation target is determined and moves the operation target based on the detected direction and amount of the movement of the terminal device.

Abstract: A terminal is a display control device for displaying a virtual space including an avatar that is operated by a user wearing a head-mounted display, the terminal being provided with: an avatar control unit which generates control data of the avatar corresponding to the movement of the user; a computation unit which, when the avatar and an object have collided with each other, computes physical behaviors of the avatar and the object that correspond to the collision; a VR space management unit which applies the result of the computation made by the computation unit to the virtual space; and a rendering unit which renders, as an image to be supplied to the head-mounted display, the avatar the behavior of which corresponding to the collision is kept within a predetermined range.

Abstract: A rear-facing camera captures a live-action video image while a front-facing camera captures an image of a distributor. An avatar controller controls an avatar based on the image of the distributor captured by the front-facing camera. A synthesizer arranges the avatar in a predetermined position of a real space coordinate system and synthesizes the avatar with the live-action video image. The face of the distributor captured by the front-facing camera is tracked and reflected on the avatar.

Abstract: When cheering of a distributor avatar by virtual avatars has been detected and the distributor avatar reacts to the cheering, a reaction motion is performed for the virtual avatars that cheered, and a normal motion that is not a reaction motion is performed for the viewer avatars that did not cheer. The motion performed for the virtual avatars that cheered differs from the motion performed for the viewer avatars that did not cheer based on timing indicated by the distributor. Either the motion performed for the virtual avatars that cheered or the motion performed for the viewer avatars that did not cheer is a predetermined motion.

Abstract: A student terminal is for viewing a class given in a virtual space that is immersive. The student terminal includes: a VR function section configured to display the virtual space according to virtual space information; and an input section for receiving a video capturing a desk of a student who views the class. The VR function section extracts, from the video, an area including a top plate of the desk corresponding to a desk object in the virtual space, and performs image composition for fitting a video capturing the area onto a top plate of the desk object.

Abstract: The present disclosure has a configuration in which a distributor who performs a separate distribution that is different from this live content, or a viewer who views this separate distribution can participate in a virtual space and express intent or participate in visual recognition through the commitment of a virtual item.

Abstract: A data replacement apparatus according to one aspect of the present invention includes an acquisition unit, a determination unit, and a replacement unit. The acquisition unit acquires first control data having a value based on the position of a first device which can be mounted on a user's head and the position of a second device which can be gripped by a user. The determination unit determines whether or not a prescribed condition is satisfied. The replacement unit replaces the first control data with second control data when it is determined that the condition is satisfied. The second control data has a value not based on the position of the first device and/or the position of the second device.
