The present disclosure has a configuration in which a distributor who performs a separate distribution that is different from this live content, or a viewer who views this separate distribution can participate in a virtual space and express intent or participate in visual recognition through the commitment of a virtual item.

Content distribution system, content distribution method, and computer program

A student terminal is for viewing a class given in a virtual space that is immersive. The student terminal includes: a VR function section configured to display the virtual space according to virtual space information; and an input section for receiving a video capturing a desk of a student who views the class. The VR function section extracts, from the video, an area including a top plate of the desk corresponding to a desk object in the virtual space, and performs image composition for fitting a video capturing the area onto a top plate of the desk object.

Viewing terminal, viewing method, viewing system, and program

Provided is a program executable in a computer for viewing content. The computer includes a processor and a memory. The program causes the processor to execute a first step of generating a virtual space in response to an operation by a first user to designate content and setting a virtual viewpoint corresponding to the first user in the virtual space, a second step of starting reproduction of the content designated in the virtual space, and a third step of arranging, in the virtual space, at least one of an object pre-associated with the content or a second object corresponding to a second user who has viewed the content in the past, When the first user views the content, the object pre-associated or the second object is arranged in the third step at a position not related to a position of the virtual viewpoint of the second user in the virtual space or a position of the object pre-associated, when the second user viewed the content.

Non-transitory computer readable medium storing program to generate virtual space, and information processing device and method to generate virtual space

The present disclosure causes live content to be drawn on the basis of specification data on a virtual object, operation data on the virtual object, and the like, and causes the drawn content to be provided for viewing reproduction on a terminal for viewing.

Three-dimensional content distribution system, three-dimensional content distribution method and computer program

It is very useful for advertisers of banner ads or owners of websites when browsing information such as where on a website an individual is viewing can be collected. However, such browsing information is personal information that is difficult to be collected. Provided are an information display terminal, an information transmission method and a computer program in which there is a storage for presenting a message indicating that a reward to be paid if the viewer permits collection of browsing information, and storing an electrical message of permission as evidence when the viewer gives permission. When attributes (age, gender, occupation, type of industry, family structure etc.) of a viewer are collected under agreement in obtaining permission of collection of information from the viewer and stored in a user information storage, the browsing information becomes higher value-added.

Information display terminal, information transmission method, and computer program

There is provided a content distribution device including a virtual character arrangement acquisitor that acquires an arrangement in a virtual space of each of a plurality of virtual characters respectively corresponding to a plurality of participants in accordance with an operation of a corresponding participant, a trigger detector that detects a first trigger and thereafter detects a second trigger, and a display control data distributor that generates and distributes display control data for displaying at least a part of the virtual space in which the plurality of virtual characters is arranged.

Content distribution device, content distribution program, content distribution method, content display device, content display program, and content display method

A content distribution system according to an embodiment is provided with at least one processor. The at least one processor: specifies a real image region and a farthest region in a space represented with a content image showing a first virtual object; disposes a second virtual object in the farthest region; and displays, on a user terminal, a content image representing a space in which the second virtual object is disposed.

Content distribution system, content distribution method, and content distribution program

Provided is a content distribution server which is able to establish restrictions on the public disclosure of an object displayed in virtual space at the convenience of the distributor. The content distribution server comprises: a distribution unit that distributes live content for synthesizing video in virtual space using information from the distributor as virtual character information; and a first setting receiving unit that receives from the distributor terminal used by the distributor public disclosure restriction settings for establishing restrictions on objects present in virtual space displayed on the distributor terminal that can be viewed on a viewer terminal used by a viewer to view live content.

Content distribution server, content distribution system, content distribution method, and program

This video distribution server which receives moving images from an originating terminal and distributes these moving images to a viewer terminal implements a questionnaire within the broadcast on the basis of commands from the originating terminal and provides the same questionnaire to a Web server.

Video distribution server, video distribution method and recording medium

A content distribution server, includes: a communicator that receives live contents transmitted through a network NW from a distributor terminal used by a distributor of a live content; a designator that designates an area in the live content, where another content is superimposed and played; a selector that selects the other content to be played in the area designated; and a controller that generates a distribution content by superimposing the other content selected by the selector in the area designated by the designator in the live content, wherein the communicator distributes the distribution content to a viewer terminal through the network NW.

Content distribution server, content distribution method and content distribution program

An intervention server according to an aspect of the present invention includes a receiver, a filter, and an intervener. The receiver receives pieces of first user input information from a plurality of audience terminals to which a live play video of a game is distributed. The filter filters the pieces of the first user input information. The intervener intervenes in a progress of the game based on the filtered pieces of the first user input information.

Intervention server and intervention program

A rear-facing camera captures a live-action video image while a front-facing camera captures an image of a distributor. An avatar controller controls an avatar based on the image of the distributor captured by the front-facing camera. A synthesizer arranges the avatar in a predetermined position of a real space coordinate system and synthesizes the avatar with the live-action video image. The face of the distributor captured by the front-facing camera is tracked and reflected on the avatar.

Video synthesis device, video synthesis method and recording medium

A data replacement apparatus according to one aspect of the present invention includes an acquisition unit, a determination unit, and a replacement unit. The acquisition unit acquires first control data having a value based on the position of a first device which can be mounted on a user's head and the position of a second device which can be gripped by a user. The determination unit determines whether or not a prescribed condition is satisfied. The replacement unit replaces the first control data with second control data when it is determined that the condition is satisfied. The second control data has a value not based on the position of the first device and/or the position of the second device.
