The controller switches an image projected by the projection unit between the 2D image and the 3D image, based on a detection result from the detector.

Abstract: An information communication terminal includes the followings. An input receiving unit receives an input from a user. A communication unit obtains presentation information corresponding to an input by the user from a server according to a dialog scenario, every time the input is received. A dialog processing unit presents the user with the presentation information obtained by the communication unit. A communication state determination unit determines a communication state between the communication unit and the server. When the communication state determination unit makes a first determination that the communication is deteriorated during a dialog, the dialog processing unit causes the communication unit to obtain, as candidate presentation information, at least one presentation information with a possibility of being presented to the user after the first determination according to the dialog scenario.

Abstract: A data stream selection/output apparatus that selects and outputs a data stream composed of sequentially obtained data. The data stream selection/output apparatus obtains timing information indicating a time at which a first data stream being output should be switched to a second data stream. The data stream selection/output apparatus, in a time period including the time indicated by the timing information, scans the first and second data streams to detect a first boundary between data blocks of the first data stream and a second boundary between data blocks of the second data stream, where the data blocks conform to a transmission protocol higher than Transport Layer of OSI Reference Model. The data stream selection/output apparatus then stops outputting the first data stream at the first block boundary and starts outputting the second data stream at the second block boundary.
