An information processing apparatus acquires a captured image by causing a camera to image a projection region in a position where a center portion of an imaging range at the time when the projection region including a projection target object in a real space in which a projector and the projection target object are disposed, a first guide image being displayed in the projection region by the projector, and a center portion of the first guide image overlap. The information processing apparatus generates a projection image by causing a user to edit the captured image and transmits projection image data representing the generated projection image to the projector.

Image editing method, image editing system, and storage medium storing program

The display method includes obtaining a target image showing a target region including a surface in a real space having the target region and a display, and displaying, on the display, a first simulation image including the target image and a first display image which is superimposed on the target image and fits within the display irrespective of a position of the display in real space, the first display image being obtained by viewing an image projected on a virtual plane corresponding to the surface from a virtual projector in a virtual space, the virtual plane being located at a first position corresponding to a position of the surface in the real space, from a second position corresponding to the position of the display in the real space.

Display method and display system

The display method includes obtaining a target image showing a target region including a surface, displaying a simulation image on a display, the simulation image being obtained by superimposing a display image on the target image, the display image corresponding to an image to be projected by a projector on the surface, displaying the target image included in the simulation image on the display with a brightness based on first information which specifies a brightness of the target region, and displaying the display image included in the simulation image on the display with a brightness based on second information which specifies a brightness of the display image.

A method for operating a display apparatus, the method including, detecting a first change in a first sensor signal from a first sensor, performing a first action in response to the detection of the first change, detecting changes in the first sensor signal in a first period that starts in response to the detection of the first change, maintaining the first action during the first period, and performing a second action after the first period if a second change in the first sensor signal last detected in the first period among the changes in the first sensor signal is different from the first change.

Method for operating display apparatus, and display apparatus

A projector includes an image generation section adapted to generate a composite image including a first image based on a first image signal, a second image based on a second image signal, and a boundary line indicating a position to be a boundary between the first image and the second image, a projection section adapted to display the composite image generated by the image generation section on a screen, a position detection section adapted to detect a position of a pointing body with respect to the screen, and a control section adapted to make the image generation section generate a composite image with a boundary line moved based on the position of the pointing body detected by the position detection section.

Display device, and method of controlling display device

A projector includes: a projection unit which projects content in response to a playback instruction to play back the content; and a transmitting unit which transmits the playback instruction to another projector. The playback instruction includes specification information which specifies the content.

Projector and display system

A method of controlling a projector includes a distributing step of distributing each of luminance values of a plurality of pixels constituting an original image into a first luminance value, a second luminance value lower than the first luminance value, a third luminance value lower than the second luminance value, a first replacing step of replacing the luminance values of the pixels corresponding to the second luminance value with the third luminance value in the original image to generate a first image, a second replacing step of replacing the luminance values of the pixels corresponding to the second luminance value with the first luminance value in the original image to generate a second image, and a generating step of converting the luminance values of the pixels into transmittances in each of the first image and the second image to generate mask images.

Method of controlling display device, and display device

A projector includes a video processing section configured to generate a third image by combining, on the basis of transmittance, a first image based on first image information and a second image generated by converting luminance information of second image information including the luminance information into the transmittance and an image forming section configured to display the third image.

Display device and control method for conversion of luminance information

A display apparatus includes a storage that stores a set period that is a period from the point of time when electric power supply starts to the point of time when a projection section starts displaying an image, a remote control that accepts operation, and a controller that changes the set period based on the operation accepted by the remote control, and the controller causes the projection section to start projecting the image after the electric power supply starts and the set period then elapses.

Display apparatus, display system, and method for controlling display apparatus that is configured to change a set period

A client can return a display state of an object to the past. When a point body moves on a screen, a projector draws an object of a line representing a moving trajectory. The projector generates object data representing the object and transmits the generated object data to tablet terminals. The object data contains order information representing generation order of the object. The tablet terminals display the object represented by the transmitted object data on a touch panel. When performing an operation for returning the display, the tablet terminals return the display by object unit based on the order information contained in the object data.

Display apparatus, display system, and display method

A projector includes a coordinate acquiring unit configured to acquire a coordinate of a position pointed by a pointer, a sub-processor configured to render an image on the basis of the coordinate, and a main processor configured to output image data of the image rendered by the sub-processor. The projector performs, according to a predetermined condition, using the main processor, rendering in the same manner as the sub-processor on the basis of the acquired input coordinate, superimposes the rendered image on the rendered image output by the sub-processor to generate a superimposed image, and outputs the superimposed image.

Data processing apparatus, display apparatus, and method of controlling the data processing apparatus

A projector includes a projection unit that displays an image on a screen, a control unit that allows the projection unit to display a plurality of images based on image data input from a plurality of PCs, a location detection unit that detects an operation location by a pointing tool, an output control unit that selects the PC based on the operation location detected by the location detection unit and a display location of the image on the screen, and an output switching unit that outputs coordinates of the operation location to the PC selected by the output control unit.
