There is provided an information processing device including a processor that realizes: a dictionary data acquisition function that acquires dictionary data related to an object; an image acquisition function that acquires a first image of the object; a first angle estimation function that estimates an angle of the object in the first image on the basis of the first image and the dictionary data; a second angle estimation function that re-estimates an angle of the object in the first image after a physical operation related to the object; and a dictionary data update function that updates the dictionary data in response to a result of estimation by the first angle estimation function and a result of re-estimation by the second angle estimation function.

Information processing device, information processing method, and program

In an information processing system, an information processing apparatusrecognizes, when a user moves real bodiesandarranged on a play field, the movement on the basis of, for example, an image taken by a camerataking an image of the movement to interlock objects of corresponding charactersanddisplayed on a display apparatus. In addition, when the user moves the charactersandthrough an input apparatus, the information processing apparatustransmits a control signal to the corresponding real bodiesandto perform interlocking. When a situation in which interlocking between the real bodiesandand the charactersandis difficult occurs, an appropriate scenario is selected from the scenarios prepared in advance and realized, thereby maintaining the consistency.

Information processing apparatus, information processing system, and information processing method

A block set assembled by a user and an information processing device communicate with each other. The information processing device thereby obtains information on the structure of the block set. In addition, an object of a crane truck corresponding to the block set is displayed on a display device. Correspondences between joints and wheels and correspondences between movements are set. Thereby, when the block set is moved, the movement of the block set is reflected in the object on display. When the object is moved, the movement of the object is reflected in the block set by transmitting a control signal from the information processing device.

When a place where a different panoramic image was captured is present in a direction in which a panoramic image to be displayed is captured, a marker setting unit associates a marker indicating that the different panoramic image is present in said image-captured direction with the panoramic image to be displayed. A mapping processing unit maps, as a texture, the panoramic image to be displayed, with which the marker of the different panoramic image is associated, in a three-dimensional panoramic space. A three-dimensional image generation unit generates a three-dimensional panoramic image when the three-dimensional panoramic space is viewed in a designated visual line direction, with a place where the panoramic image to be displayed is captured as a visual point position. A user interface unit accepts a user's instruction regarding the displayed three-dimensional panoramic image.
