  • Publication number: 20130257857
    Abstract: An image projected onto a screen from a projector is generated as follows. Specifically, two virtual viewpoints that correspond to the right eye and the left eye of a viewer are set in a virtual three-dimensional space, and two virtual planes are set to be circumscribed to the screen (plane of projection). A plane image is generated by perspective projection transformation of a game space onto the virtual plane based on each virtual viewpoint. A projection image is generated from each plane image according to the relationship between the pixel position of the virtual plane and the pixel position of the projection image that is defined so that the plane image is observed without distortion when observing the screen from a presumed viewing position to generate a right-eye projection image and a left-eye projection image.

  • Patent number: 6289202
    Abstract: An optimal channel is selected in correspondence with the radio environment of the setting place of a system. A plurality of channels are divided into a plurality of groups, and a communication is performed using a channel in a group selected according to the radio environment. Since channels in the group are selected to be free from intermodulation, even when a plurality of communications are simultaneously performed in the system, the communication using one channel can be prevented from influencing that using another channel.
