  • Publication number: 20230112368
    Abstract: A content display device (20) that functions as an information processing device includes: an acquisition unit (251), a determination unit (252), and a display control unit (253). The acquisition unit (251) acquires template data defining relative relationships between a first real object, a second real object, and a virtual object. The determination unit (252) determines the relative relationship between the first real object and the second real object from three-dimensional data of a real space detected by the sensor. The display control unit (253) controls the display device to arrange the virtual object on or near the first real object so as to face the second real object, based on the relative relationships and the template data.

  • Patent number: 11605207
    Abstract: There is provided an information processing device, an information processing method, and a program for enabling display of AR content that has been generated for a predetermined environment and is applied to the real environment. The information processing device according to one aspect of the present technology generates a template environment map showing the environment of a three-dimensional space that is to be a template and in which a predetermined object exists, and generates template content that is a template to be used in generating display content for displaying an object superimposed on the environment of a real space, the template content including information about the object disposed at a position in the three-dimensional space, the position having a predetermined positional relationship with the predetermined object. The present technology can be applied to a transmissive HMD, for example.

  • Publication number: 20220414983
    Abstract: An object detection unit 31 detects, for example, a moving object and a detection target object that coincides with a registered object registered in an object database from an input image. A map processing unit 32 updates information of an area corresponding to the detected object in a 3D map including a signed distance, a weight parameter, and an object ID label according to an object detection result by the object detection unit 31. For example, when the moving object is detected, the map processing unit 32 initializes information of an area corresponding to the moving object in the 3D map. The map processing unit 32 registers an object map of the detected moving object in the object database. When the detection target object is detected, the map processing unit 32 converts an object map of the registered object that coincides with the detection target object according to a posture of the detection target object and integrates the same with the 3D map.

  • Publication number: 20220392174
    Abstract: A template AR content can be favorably used in an application scene different from the scene at the time of creation. An environment map of an augmented reality application scene is generated. An abstract representation of the augmented reality application scene is generated on the basis of the environment map of the augmented reality scene. The abstract representation of the augmented reality application scene is compared with an abstract representation of a template augmented reality generated on the basis of a template augmented reality environment map, and template augmented reality content is mapped to the augmented reality application scene on the basis of a result of the comparison. Thus, augmented reality content for display is generated. For example, the abstract representation of the augmented reality application scene or the abstract representation of the template augmented reality can be edited.

  • Publication number: 20220237769
    Abstract: An information processing device includes: a storage unit that stores first information indicating at least one of a structure or a physical property of a first object obtained by capturing a real physical body into a virtual space; and a specifying unit that specifies an arrangement of a second object indicating a virtual object in the virtual space so that the arrangement is capable of expressing an interaction with the first object, based on an arrangement condition of the second object and on the first information.

  • Publication number: 20220215677
    Abstract: An information processing device (30) includes: an estimation unit (325) that estimates an operable part among a plurality of parts of a first object obtained by capturing a real item into a virtual space; and a display control unit (326) that controls a display device (20) to display a motion of the part operated by a second object indicating a virtual item on the basis of operation information of the second object with respect to the first object and a first piece of information indicating a result of the estimation unit (325).

  • Publication number: 20220215609
    Abstract: A configuration that causes an agent such as a character in a virtual world or a robot in the real world to perform actions by imitating actions of a human is to be achieved. An environment map including type and layout information about objects in the real world is generated, actions of a person acting in the real world are analyzed, time/action/environment map correspondence data including the environment map and time-series data of action analysis data is generated, a learning process using the time/action/environment map correspondence data is performed, an action model having the environment map as an input value and a result of action estimation as an output value is generated, and action control data for a character in a virtual world or a robot is generated with the use of the action model. For example, an agent is made to perform an action by imitating an action of a human.
