Abstract: A three-dimensional image generating device, a three-dimensional image generating method, a program, and an information storage medium provide for the ability to set the amount of disparity of a generated three-dimensional image to the amount of disparity according to the kind of display on which this three-dimensional image is displayed. A set value identifying section identifies the kind of display to which a three-dimensional image is output. An image generating section generates the three-dimensional image with the amount of disparity according to the kind of the display identified.

Abstract: An information processor acquires a stereo image from an imaging device. A detection plane definition portion defines a detection plane in a three-dimensional space of a camera coordinate system of a first camera. A feature quantity calculation portion generates feature point image of left and right images. A parallax correction area derivation portion derives an area as a parallax correction area, which is obtained by moving, to a left, an area of the right image identical to the detection area of the left image. A matching portion performs matching for the feature point images of each area, thus deriving a highly rated feature point. A position information output portion generates information to be used by an output information generation section based on the matching result.

Abstract: To provide an information output system and an information output method capable of providing appropriate information for the user's current situation. The operation device comprises a state detection section for detecting a posture of the operation device, and a state information transmission section for transmitting state information to a home-use computer based on the state detected by the state detection section. The home-use computer outputs information depending on the state information transmitted by the state information transmission section.

Abstract: A sensor generates signals representing whether a computer game headset is being worn properly so that the wearer may be advised. The sensor may be a pressure sensor or motion sensor or stretch sensor on the headset, or it may be a camera that images the wearer and uses image recognition to determine if the headset is on correctly.

Abstract: A storing section stores an invitation message giving an invitation to an application to be executed by another information processing apparatus. An information displaying section displays the invitation messages on a display device. At this point, the information displaying section displays a valid invitation message and an invalid invitation message in a manner different from each other. The information displaying section may further display an unread invitation message and a read invitation message in a manner different from each other.

Abstract: A method includes identifying a real-world object in a scene viewed by a camera of a user device, matching the real-world object with a tagged object based at least in part on image recognition and a sharing setting of the tagged object, the tagged object having been tagged with a content item, providing a notification to a user of the user device that the content item is associated with the real-world object, receiving a request from the user for the content item, and providing the content item to the user. A computer readable storage medium stores one or more computer programs, and an apparatus includes a processor-based device.

Abstract: An information processing device that detects the position of a subject shot by a camera in a three-dimensional space is provided. The information processing device includes a depth image acquiring section that acquires a depth image in which the distance of a subject in the depth direction from the camera is represented as a pixel value on an image plane, a spatial structure identifying section that identifies the position of a plane forming a predetermined angle with a gravity vector among subject surfaces by detecting a coordinate point collection representing the plane on the basis of the distribution of coordinate points obtained by inverse projection of pixels of the depth image to the three-dimensional space based on the direction of the gravity vector, and a target object extracting section that generates and outputs position information of a predetermined target object on the basis of the position of the plane.

Abstract: A simulation apparatus which simulates a position of each of plural objects, which move in a virtual space together with time, at each of plural time points of calculation. The apparatus includes: an object pair information acquisition unit acquiring plural pieces of information of object pairs each including, as components thereof, two objects which contact with each other at each of the plural time points of calculation; an allocation unit allocating, at each of the plural time points of calculation, each of the plural object pairs to one of plural groups such that two or more object pairs which include a common object do not belong to the same group; and a calculation unit calculating, at each of the plural time points of calculation, an influence of contact of two objects included in each of the plural object pairs upon positions of the two objects.
