  • Patent number: 12343626
    Abstract: An example of an image processing system includes a first HMD worn by a first user and a smart device carried by a second user. In a virtual space, a second virtual camera and a second object are placed in accordance with a position of the smart device relative to a reference in a real space. In the virtual space, a first object is placed regardless of a position of the first HMD in the real space, and a first virtual camera is placed at a position relating to a position of the first object. An image of the virtual space including the second object is displayed on the first HMD based on the first virtual camera. An image of the virtual space including the first object is displayed on the smart device based on the second virtual camera.

  • Publication number: 20250035754
    Abstract: An information processing system includes: a station; a mobile body able to move with respect to the station; and at least one processor. The station has a first light source and a MEMS mirror driven two-dimensionally, and makes light beam from the first light source be reflected by the MEMS mirror while driving the MEMS mirror to be emitted to a space around the station so as to scan the space two-dimensionally by the light beam. The mobile body has a first photo sensor configured to detect reception of the light beam. At least one of the at least one processor is configured to identify a value of a direction parameter indicating a relative direction of the mobile body with respect to the station, based on a timing at which the first photo sensor detected reception of the light beam during the scan.

  • Publication number: 20240364024
    Abstract: A system includes a portable electronic device including a display and an interface for output of an image to an external display separate from the display, a controller to receive a user operation, one or more processors, and one or more memories to store instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform generating an image in accordance with the user operation onto the controller and obtaining a direction in which the controller is present with respect to the portable electronic device. The generating the image includes generating the image based on the obtained direction when the image is outputted to the display and restricting generation of the image based on the obtained direction when the image is outputted to the external display.

  • Publication number: 20240359092
    Abstract: A system includes a display, one or more processors, and one or more memories to store instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform obtaining a direction in which a controller is present with respect to the display, showing on the display, an image including a first object and a second object, the first object being moved in accordance with a user input to the controller without being moved in accordance with the obtained direction, the second object presenting information on at least one of a user who operates the controller and/or the first object, and changing at least one of a display position and/or an orientation of the second object in accordance with the obtained direction.
