  • Publication number: 20220148486
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus is provided by which plural scenes are displayed simultaneously with low load. The information processing apparatus that processes two or more image signals includes a division unit that decomposes the image signals for each color element, a selection unit that selects, from among the color elements of the two or more image signals, a color element of any one of the image signals for each color element, and an outputting unit that outputs the color elements of the image signals for each of predetermined regions. The predetermined regions are plural sub-frames into which one frame is divided in a time direction. The selection unit alternatively selects a color element from among the color elements of the two or more image signals in each of the sub-frames.

  • Patent number: 10788902
    Abstract: Provided is an information processing device and an information processing method which are capable of simply correcting an indication position in an image which corresponds to a position that is pointed in a three-dimensional space. The information processing device includes an indication position detection unit that detects a spatial indication position that is a position pointed by an indicating object in a three-dimensional space and an indication position correction unit that corrects an image indication position that is an indication position in an image which corresponds to the spatial indication position on the basis of a user voice that is a voice spoken by a user. The present technology is applicable, for example, to a head mount display (HMD) using virtual reality (VR).
