There is provided an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program capable of displaying an effect image indicating a situation of tactile presentation caused by an object. The information processing apparatus according to one aspect of the present technology acquires information regarding a situation of tactile presentation to at least a part of a user's body, and generates an effect image indicating the situation of the tactile presentation. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a transmissive head-mounted display (HMD).

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and program

An information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a hold determination unit. The hold determination unit determines, in a case where a rate of decrease of a distance between a first hold-side object and a second hold-side object that set a virtual object as a pinch-and-hold target becomes smaller than a predetermined threshold value, that the virtual object has been held by the first hold-side object and the second hold-side object. Accordingly, a high-quality virtual experience can be achieved.

Provided are an apparatus and a method that performs selection or display mode change of a virtual object to be displayed depending on a real object type in a target area to be a display area for the virtual object. Included are an object identification unit that executes identification processing of a real object in the real world, and a content display control unit that generates an AR image in which a real object and a virtual object are superimposed and displayed. The object identification unit identifies a real object in the target area to be the display area for the virtual object, and the content display control unit performs processing of selecting the virtual object to be displayed or processing of changing the display mode depending on the object identification result.

Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and program

An information processing device including a control unit that controls a display terminal that arranges a virtual object in a real space by using a coordinate system associated with the real space, in which the control unit determines whether to update first spatial information of a first display terminal and second spatial information of a second display terminal, which are used for determining a position of the virtual object, based on a first operation state of the first display terminal and a second operation state of the second display terminal that shares the virtual object with the first display terminal.

Information processing device, information processing method, and recording medium

An information processing apparatus includes a position processing unit, a correction unit, and a display control unit. The position processing unit estimates a head position of a user and estimates a position of a predetermined part of a body of the user based on the estimated head position. The correction unit corrects the position of the predetermined part estimated by the position processing unit based on the head position and an angle of inclination of a head of the user. The display control unit executes processing of displaying an image operated by the user to be overlapped with a space visually recognized by the user based on the position corrected by the correction unit.

Provided is an information processing device that includes a first self-position estimation unit that performs a first self-position estimation on the basis of an environment image whose subjects are surroundings of the information processing device. The information processing device further includes a second self-position estimation unit that performs a second self-position estimation on the basis of a detection plane detected from the environment image and object information generated in advance and related to a shielding AR object having a planar shape to correct a display position of a non-shielding AR object according to a result of the first self-position estimation on the basis of a result of the second self-position estimation.

Information processing device and method for displaying AR object at accurate position

An information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a first acquisition section, a second acquisition section, and a determination section. The first acquisition section acquires a camera-based position indicating a position of a real object, the camera-based position being determined on the basis of a captured image of a real space in which there exists the real object. The second acquisition section acquires an output-wave-based estimation position indicating the position of the real object, the output-wave-based estimation position being determined on the basis of an output wave that is output to the real space from a position that corresponds to the real object. The determination section determines a reference position used to represent virtual content related to the real object, on the basis of the camera-based position and the output-wave-based estimation position.

Information processing apparatus and information processing method

Provided is an information processing device, and an information processing method for curbing occurrence of a feeling of strangeness in augmented reality in a use environment for a plurality of people. Position information indicating the self position of an AR device that outputs an AR object that is shown to the user as if the AR object existed in real space is acquired by the AR technology, and a deviation weight which is an evaluation value indicating how easily a plurality of users recognizes that an arrangement position of the AR object is deviated from each other on the basis of position information of a plurality of the AR devices and the arrangement position of the AR object. Then, the output method of the AR object is adjusted according to the deviation weight to make it difficult to recognize occurrence of the deviation.

Information processing device and information processing method

This information processing device includes: a control device which determines whether or not a first terminal is in a first position in a real space, controls, on the basis of the determination that the first terminal is in the first position, the first terminal to start superimposing a virtual object according to the first position on the real space, determines whether or not the second terminal different from the first terminal is in the first position, and controls the second terminal to start superimposing the virtual object on the real space, on the basis of the determination that the second terminal is in the first position. The control device executes differently the start of a first operation of the virtual object by the first terminal and the start of a second operation of the virtual object by the second terminal, with respect to at least one among the display start timing and the display start position of the virtual object, and synchronizes the end of the first operation and the end of the second operation.
