Publication number: 20210326097Abstract: The present technology relates to an information processing device and an information processing method that can more exactly indicate a position outside a display region. An outside-display-region-position designation unit designates a position outside a display region of an image display unit, and a drawing/sound control unit controls output of a sound of an AR object from a sound output unit while moving the AR objet toward the designated position. The present technology can be applied to a wearable computer, for example, a glasses-type device having a pair of image display units for a left eye and a right eye.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 2, 2021Publication date: October 21, 2021Inventors: Toshiyuki NAKAGAWA, Hirotaka ISHIKAWA, Yasuki KANEMA

Patent number: 11068154Abstract: A wearable apparatus includes a display unit and a display control unit. The display unit is configured to switch and display a plurality of images classified for each layer. The display control unit is configured to selectively execute a first display control mode and a second display control mode. The first display control mode causes the display unit to display, on the basis of an operation event, the second image from a third image not relating to the first image via the first image. The second display control mode enables the display unit to display the second image from the third image without the first image when a control signal for prompting access to the second image is received.Type: GrantFiled: December 25, 2014Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: SONY CORPORATIONInventors: Hirotaka Ishikawa, Chisako Kajihara, Satoshi Akagawa, Tsubasa Tsukahara, Takeshi Iwatsu, Yasuki Kanema
