Abstract: An image generating device includes: a storage section that stores images of surrounding spaces centered at plural different fixed points; a detecting section that detects translational movement on the basis of the location of the point of view; an image processor that acquires an image of a displaying target by clipping out part of the image of the surrounding space centered at the fixed point, stored in the storage section, on the basis of the location of the point of view and the direction of the line of sight; and a switching section that makes switching to the image of the surrounding space centered at another fixed point closest to the point of view after translational movement if the plural different fixed points are so disposed that the surrounding spaces centered at the fixed points overlap with each other in a world coordinate system and translational movement is detected.

Abstract: A ranking unit 320 ranks a plurality of information elements in accordance with a user interest degree derived for each of the information elements. An image data production unit 322 produces image data in which the plurality of information elements are disposed in accordance with the respective ranks with reference to a predetermined position. The image data production unit 322 produces image data in which an information element in which the user interest degree is highest is disposed at the predetermined position while an information element in which the user interest is relatively high is disposed at a position near to the predetermined position and an information element in which the user interest is relatively low is disposed at a position remote from the predetermined position two-dimensionally or three-dimensionally.

Abstract: In an image processing apparatus, an image pickup unit takes images of an object including the face of a person wearing the glasses by which to observe a stereoscopic image that contains a first parallax image and a second parallax image obtained when the object in a three-dimensional (3D) space is viewed from different viewpoints. A glasses identifying unit identifies the glasses included in the image of the object taken by the image pickup unit. A face detector detects a facial region the face of the person included in the image of the object taken by the image pickup unit, based on the glasses identified by the glasses identifying unit. An augmented-reality special rendering unit adds a virtual feature to the facial region of the face of the person detected by the face detector.

Abstract: A proximity device, a computer-implemented method, and proximity system are described. Generally, the proximity device can be wearable or non-wearable. A wearable proximity device is configured to be worn by a user. As the user moves within a physical environment, the wearable proximity devices monitors the user's proximity to objects. Proximity indications are accordingly generated and presented to the user. A non-wearable proximity device is configured to monitor the user's proximity relative to a perimeter of an area. If the user approaches or overruns the perimeter, a proximity indication is generated and presented to the user.

Abstract: A driving unit successively selects one drive line from among a plurality of drive lines of a touch inputting device and applies a driving voltage to the selected drive line. A voltage detection unit successively selects one sensing line from among a plurality of sensing lines and detects an output voltage of the selected sensing line. An arithmetic operation unit determines a resistance value of a pressure-sensitive resistive element provided at the location at which the selected drive line and the selected sensing line cross with each other based on the driving voltage and the output voltage. The driving unit applies 0 volts or a bias voltage equal to or lower than the driving voltage to the other drive lines than the selected drive line.
