An information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a generation unit and an operation control unit. The generation unit generates environmental information of a real space around a user on the basis of a detection result of a microphone unit that detects a sound in the real space. The operation control unit controls an operation of a virtual object presented in a virtual space constructed in accordance with the real space on the basis of the environmental information.

Information processing apparatus and information processing method for processing sound of real environment for displaying virtual experience

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

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

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.

The present technology relates to an information processing device, an information processing method, and a program that enable a user to be entertained. The information processing device includes: a first providing unit that provides first information for guiding to a destination in a form of dialogues with the user; and a second providing unit that provides second information regarding a present location in the form of dialogues with the user. The information processing device performs a process while switching among an intro mode as a mode at start of a game, a walk mode in which to walk to a final destination, and an arrival mode in which to arrive at the final destination. The present technology can be applied to, for example, an information processing device with which the user advances a game while talking with a virtual character.

[Object] To provide an information processing device, control method, and program that are capable of showing presence of a virtual object in a real space. [Solution] The information processing device includes: a calculation unit configured to calculate a localization position of a sound source of a virtual object relative to a user on the basis of information on the virtual object and information on a state of the user, the virtual object causing the user to feel as if the virtual object exists in a real space through sound image localization; and a sound image localization unit configured to perform a sound signal process of the sound source such that a sound image is localized at the calculated localization position.

Information processing device, information processing method, and program

An information processing apparatus includes a calculation section that calculates a relative position of a sound source of a virtual object to a user, the virtual object allowing a user to perceive that the virtual object exists in a real space by sound image localization, on the basis of a position of a sound image of the virtual object and a position of the user, a sound image localization section that performs a sound signal process of the sound source such that the sound image is localized at the calculated localization position, and a sound image position holding section that holds the position of the sound image. When sound to be emitted from the virtual object is to be changed over, the calculation section may refer to the position of the sound image held in the sound image position holding section to calculate the position of the sound image.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method and program

Provided as an information processing apparatus that includes: a search unit to search for, on a basis of position information of a user, a predetermined point specified in accordance with a user status and scenario progress from surroundings of a user; and an output control unit that performs control in a manner that a voice of a character corresponding to the scenario progress performs guidance to the predetermined point that has been searched.
