  • Patent number: 12014010
    Abstract: The present embodiment is an information processing device adapted to a non-contact user interface. The information processing device includes a display control unit configured to perform control such that a first screen is displayed on a display, a feature recognition unit configured to recognize a feature related to a specific part of a user in a spatial coordinate system, a mapping unit configured to specify a position on the first screen, the position corresponding to a position of the specific part in the spatial coordinate system, according to a mapping algorithm on the basis of the feature, an input operation specifying unit configured to specify an input operation on the basis of content of the first screen and the position on the first screen, and a processing execution unit configured to execute processing on the basis of the input operation.

  • Publication number: 20230367430
    Abstract: Provided is an information processing apparatus capable of further improving operability. A virtual touch panel surface that does not actually exist is set in a space in front of a display surface of a display. Then, a touch operation on the virtual touch panel surface performed by a user is detected on the basis of position information of a specific site of a body used by the user for the touch operation on the virtual touch panel surface, and processing corresponding to the detected touch operation is executed.

  • Publication number: 20230353882
    Abstract: An imaging control device of the present disclosure includes: a detector circuit that sets a detection frame in an imaging screen of a first camera that is movable, and performs detection of brightness of an image captured by the first camera; an exposure controller that calculates an exposure control parameter to be used for exposure control on the first camera on the basis of a detection result by the detector circuit; and a detection controller that changes a state of detection by the detector circuit on the basis of a moving direction of the first camera that is moving.

  • Publication number: 20180307378
    Abstract: A wearable display according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a display unit; a detection unit; and a display control unit. The display unit is configured to be attachable to a user, the display unit including a display area that provides a field of view in real space to the user. The detection unit detects orientation of the display unit around at least one axis. The display control unit is configured to be capable of presenting a first image relating to the orientation of the display unit in the display area on the basis of an output of the detection unit. The display control unit is configure to be capable of causing, depending on a change in the orientation, the first image to move in the display area in a direction opposite to a movement direction of the display unit by a first movement amount smaller than a movement amount of the display unit.
