Moving images are switched naturally when development of a story is switched according to a situation. An image display system includes a display unit that displays a moving image, an acquisition unit that acquires a motion of a user viewing the moving image displayed by the display unit, a determination unit that determines whether or not the motion of the user acquired by the acquisition unit satisfies a predetermined switching condition in which the user does not recognize switching between images even when the moving image displayed by the display unit is switched from first moving image data to second moving image data different from the first moving image, and a switching unit that switches the moving image displayed by the display unit from the first moving image data to the second moving image data when the determination unit determines that the switching condition is satisfied.

A slave robot moves in conjunction with a change of a posture of an operator in a remote control system. A capture device acquires a signal indicating a posture of an operator's body. A control apparatus includes a receiving controller that receives a signal indicating a posture of the slave robot from the slave robot and receives the signal indicating the posture of the operator's body from the capture device, a posture comparing part that acquires a posture error indicating a difference between the posture of the slave robot and the posture of the operator, and a motion connecting part that transmits, to the slave robot, an operation signal for operating the slave robot generated on the basis of the change in the posture of the operator on a condition that the posture error is within a predetermined threshold range.

Remote control system, information processing method, and non-transitory computer-readable recording medium

This control device has: a user information acquisition unit which acquires first user posture information that indicates the posture of a first user operating a robot; a pre-change robot information acquisition unit which, on the basis of the first user posture information, acquires pre-change posture information, which indicates the posture of the robot before the posture of the robot is changed; and a determination unit which determines, as the posture of the robot, a target posture, which is different from the posture of the first user, on the basis of the pre-change posture information and the first user posture information that is acquired by the user information acquisition unit at the time when the robot took the pre-change posture indicated by the pre-change posture information.

Control device, robot control method, and robot control system

According to the present invention, a terminal device has: a transmission unit which transmits, to a robot, operator state information indicating the state of a user operating the robot; a receiving unit which receives, from the robot, robot state information indicating the state of the robot; a sensation imparting unit which imparts a predetermined sensation to the user; and a control unit which, when a delay time required for the receiving unit to receive the robot state information after the transmission unit transmits the operator state information is no longer than a predetermined time, controls the sensation imparting unit so as to impart a sensation based on the robot state information to the user, and when the delay time is longer than the predetermined time, controls the sensation imparting unit to impart, to the user, a sensation based on virtual state information that indicates an estimated robot state.

Appropriate reduction of transferred data volume is used to deliver interruption-free video to a user, minimizing viewing discomfort. A head-mounted display secured to the head of a user and a video generating device that generates a video for presentation to the user by the head-mounted display are combined in a video system. In the head-mounted display, a presentation unit presents the video to the user, an imaging unit captures an image of the user's eye, the first communication unit sends the captured image to the video generating device, and receives the video from the video generating device. In the video generating device, a second communication unit receives captured images from the head-mounted display and sends a video to the head-mounted-display, a gaze point acquisition unit acquires, based on the captured images, the gaze point of the user in the video, a calculation unit defines a designated region based on the acquired gaze point, and generates the video, wherein the data volume per unit pixel count used for the exterior of the designated region is reduced compared to the data volume used for the interior of the designated region.
