In a head mounted information processing apparatus, a control unit includes a virtual object generation processing unit configured to generate a virtual object to be displayed by the display unit. The virtual object generation processing unit is configured to generate a first virtual object that is arranged so as to be associated with a first real space where a user exists and a second virtual object that is arranged so as to be associated with a second real space different from the first real space. The control unit is configured to cause the display to display the first virtual object and the second virtual object in accordance with virtual object display instruction information for instructing display of the first virtual object and the second virtual object, which is inputted through an operational input interface.

The existence position of the virtual object displayed by the virtual reality or augmented reality is easily grasped. In a head-mounted information processing apparatus, a virtual object generation processor generates a virtual object. An input operation unit sets and inputs information. A camera captures a real space. A display unit displays a photographed image captured by the camera and the virtual object generated by the virtual object generation processor. The controller controls the virtual object generation processor and the display unit. The controller displays the virtual objects generated by the virtual object generation processor in a batch within a display visual field screen of the display unit in accordance with virtual object display instruction information for instructing display of the virtual object input from the input operation unit.

In a display device, a photographing unitis configured to photograph the surroundings of the display device, and the recognizing unitis configured to recognize a clock(a real object regarding a time or date) from a result of the photographing. When the recognizing unitrecognizes the clock, the schedule obtaining unitis configured to obtain schedule information, and the display controlleris configured to display and output the schedule information in accordance with a position of the clock. In this case, since the display devicedisplays the schedule information in accordance with the position of the clock, the schedule information can be displayed in association with actual environment, and the schedule information can be outputted in a format that is easier to recognize the schedule information.

An object is to provide an information terminal device that improves convenience of use in operation mode control of an application that performs cooperative operation with a plurality of information terminal devices, and an application operation mode control method of same. Accordingly, an information terminal device that executes applications is configured to activate an application by selecting between a solo operation mode and a cooperative operation mode, depending on a form of activation instruction for the application.

Provided are a head-mounted information processing apparatus capable of improving user's convenience, and its controlling method. Therefore, it includes a main body deviceused in a state of being worn on a user's head, and a controller used in a state of being worn on a user's wrist or hand and controlling the main body device. For example, a directional detectorin the main body devicedetects a controller's direction by calculation based on a detected result of a position/attitude sensor of the controller. A rotational detectordetects controller's rotation, which uses the direction of the controller as a rotational axis, by calculation based on the detected result of the position/attitude sensor of the controller. An operation instruction converterconverts detected results of the directional detectorand the rotational detectorinto instructions for the main body device

Head-mounted information processing apparatus and its controlling method

When an instruction from the user is received or when an event occurs and the head mounted processing apparatus is terminated, a key content pair information register is configured to associate a state of content at the time of the event occurrence with a registration key obtained from an image of a camera at the time of the event occurrence to store them in a memory as key content pair information. When the head mounted processing apparatus is activated, a key content pair restorer is configured to determine whether an image of the camera at the time of apparatus activation is made conformity with the registration key or not on the basis of the key content pair information, and restore the state of the content corresponding to the registration key made conformity with the image in a case where the image is made conformity with the registration key.

A mobile content viewing device plays and displays content on a display, stores a scene and a time in which the content is played and displayed, acquires a measured value of a light quantity sensor, compares the measured value with a predetermined natural light threshold value if determined the measured value is equal to or greater than the natural light threshold value, suggests re-viewing in which the content is returned to and played from a scene of the content displayed on the display at that time, and plays and displays the content again from the scene of the content displayed on the display at that if an input of an instruction for the re-viewing received.

Mobile content viewing device and content viewing method

A virtual object display device comprises a display and a display control device configured to perform display control of the display. The display control device includes: a coordinate system calculation unit configured to detect movement and rotation of the virtual object display device in a real world, and use an inertial coordinate system in which a coordinate origin thereof follows the movement of the virtual object display device and an effective field of view of the display is rotated therein in accordance with the rotation of the virtual object display device so as to define an arrangement position of an inertial coordinate system virtual object; and a display control unit configured to, when the inertial coordinate system virtual object is included in the effective field of view of the display, display the inertial coordinate system virtual object within the effective field of view.

When thumbnails of a wide-angle panorama image are displayed, by scrolling and displaying a thumbnail image in which distortion and tilt deviation are reduced, visibility is improved. An information processing apparatus includes an image correction information generating unit, a control unit, and a display unit. The image correction information generating unit is composed of an image distortion determination processing unit and a horizontal/vertical direction determination processing unit, and generate correction information for correcting a partial image composed of an arbitrary image area of the wide-angle panorama image. The control unit corrects the partial image on a basis of the correction information generated by the image correction information generating unit. The display unitdisplays an image. Then, the control unit causes the display unit to display the corrected partial image as the thumbnail image.

Information processing apparatus

The space recognition system includes: an information terminal of a user having a function of displaying an image on a display surface and having a terminal coordinate system WA; and a label which is provided to correspond to a space and in which information for identifying the space is described. When recognizing the space, the information terminal specifies space data in which the space and the label are described in a space coordinate system Wby using the information read from recognition of the label, measures relations in a position and a direction between the information terminal and the label by using the space data, and adapts the terminal coordinate system WA to the space coordinate system W, based on data representing the measured relations.
