Provided is an information processing device, including: a camera that captures a real space; a communication unit that communicates with a terminal device used by a remote user; a streaming control unit that streams a first video captured by the camera from the communication unit to the terminal device if the information processing device itself is selected by the remote user from among a plurality of devices that capture the real space; and a display that displays a user image of the remote user while the first video is being streamed to the terminal device. The information processing device reduces inconvenience for the remote user during remote communication, and realizes rich remote communication with a higher degree of freedom.

Information processing device, information processing method, and terminal device

There is provided an information processing device, including: a camera that captures a real space; a communication unit that communicates with a terminal device used by a remote user; a streaming control unit that streams a first video captured by the camera from the communication unit to the terminal device if the information processing device itself is selected by the remote user from among a plurality of devices that capture the real space; and a display that displays a user image of the remote user while the first video is being streamed to the terminal device.

An augmented reality system including an unmanned moving object and an augmented reality marker arranged on or within the unmanned moving object. The augmented reality system further includes a visual rendering unit that is configured to augment virtual information corresponding to the augmented reality marker and to map the virtual information on the unmanned moving object.

Augmented reality system

Wearable computing device, comprising a wig that is adapted to cover at least a part of a head of a user, at least one sensor for providing input data, a processing unit that is coupled to the at least one sensor for processing said input data, and a communication interface that is coupled to the processing unit for communicating with a second computing device. The at least one sensor, the processing unit and the communication interface are arranged in the wig and at least partly covered by the wig in order to be visually hidden during use.

Wearable computing device

An image processing device is provided where it is possible to determine a reproduction form of preview moving images in an expression form which does not currently exist which is determining the reproduction form of the preview moving images using a comic which are elements of the base moving images in two dimensions by arranges panel images of base moving images in a comic region and determining the reproduction form of the preview moving images according to the comic panels arranged in the comic region, and it is possible to impress expressiveness.

Image processing device, image processing method and image processing program

A comic creation apparatus includes a frame candidate setting unit configured to set, as frame candidates, candidates of a frame to be arranged adjacent to a frame arranged on a page of a comic, a frame candidate display unit configured to display the set frame candidates in a desired location on the page, and a frame determination unit configured to arrange a frame candidate selected from among the frame candidates displayed on the page in the desired location on the page as a frame.

Comic creation apparatus, comic creation method, and comic creation program

A user interface method includes acquiring a shape of an object arrangement area entered by a user's sketch operation; acquiring an object conversion parameter based on the acquired shape of the object arrangement area; acquiring a symbol entered by a user's sketch operation; searching registered objects for a display object associated with the acquired symbol; converting initial data of the display object to form a converted display object based on the object conversion parameter; and displaying the converted display object in the object arrangement area.

User interface method and apparatus, and computer program

An RF tagis incorporated in a mouseand an RF tag readeris mounted on the main body side of a computerWhen using the mouseto a specified computera user moves the mouse close to the readerto read identification information (ID) of the mousewhich is included in the RF tagOn the main body side of the computerthe mouseis designated in accordance with the read ID and communication with the mouseis set. There may be a case where a plurality of computers and peripheral equipment intermingle, but, by making joint use of the ID readerin a short-range, a corresponding relationship between the main body of the computerand the wireless equipmentis made clear.

At least a part of the three-dimensional community space is divided into regions and the right to use a region is sold at a particular price to a user who wants to obtain it. A user having the right to use a region is allowed to build an element such as a building or a signboard in the region via an avatar. If an attractive signboard with high originally is built, the region in which the signboard is built and also nearby regions become popular. As a result, the economic value of such a region becomes high. If desired, a user is allowed to resell his/her region via auction.

Method and system for supporting image creating and storing of the same

In an image editing apparatus, a mouse and a display function as a drawing interface, such as a digital canvas, a palette, and a pen or a brush. A stroke input by a user by dragging the mouse is regarded as a hand-drawn operation with the pen or the brush. In the digital canvas, painting is performed by using inks having various attributes and activities such as texture and animation, based on the stroke input by the user.

Image editing apparatus, image editing method, storage medium, and computer program

Three-dimensional image processing has two processes. In a first process, a three-dimensional space including only a horizon appears on a display screen. By drawing a stroke line in the space, a wall having the stroke line as the base line is set as a canvas. A picture drawn by a user is mapped onto the canvas, resulting in a three-dimensional picture. By repeatedly setting the canvases and pictures, a desired scene can be constructed. A desired three-dimensional scene can further be obtained by rotating the canvas or moving the viewing point. In a second process, the base line of the canvas is constantly displaced between a first curve, a second curve, and an interpolation curve. The three-dimensional image pasted on the canvas is moved in accordance with the movement of the canvas. Thus, it appears to the user that the three-dimensional image is animating.
