Abstract: An information processing device includes: a shape modeling section detecting, from frames of an image captured from a movie of a target object, an image frame representing the target object captured from a predetermined direction, the shape modeling section acquiring a shape model of the target object based on a target object figure in the detected image frame; an information processing section determining a posture of the target object detected from the captured image based on the shape model, the information processing section performing information processing on a result of the determination; and an output data transmitting section outputting to an output device the data output as a result of the information processing. The shape modeling section generates data denoting presentation information indicating how an ongoing processing by the shape modeling section is progressing. The output data transmitting section transmits the data denoting the presentation information to the output device.

Abstract: In a stereoscopic video observation device 200, an optically transmissive HMD 208 presents video observed when a three-dimensional image in a virtual three-dimensional space is projected into a real space. A transmittance changing section changes the transmittance of light that passes through the optically transmissive HMD 208. A shutter control section 220 sets a lower limit value of the light transmittance that can be changed by the transmittance changing section.

Abstract: In an information processing apparatus, a map view is displayed. On the map view, an image which includes a thumbnail image of an image to be incorporated in a content and identification information added to the thumbnail image is applied as a processing section. Thumbnail images of images which are determined as a link source and a link destination by a link setting for image switching when a display area satisfies a link condition are connected to each other by a line. Further, an order of images between which an image is to be successively switched by an image forward feeding operation is defined by an array of thumbnail images in a sequence setting column. Further, the images are coupled using a dotted line or the like so as to represent a preceding-succeeding relationship thereof. A thumbnail image of an image or a line is operated to update a link setting file and a sequence setting file.

Abstract: Stereoscopic viewing systems may be adjusted for a user's inter-pupillary distance (IPD). Software-generated calibration images may be presented on a display having two optics. One or more settings for presentation of the calibration image are adjusted. The settings are related to an inter-pupillary distance (IPD) of the user. An input is received from a user when the user perceives the calibration image to be acceptable at a particular value of the one or more settings. An IPD value that corresponds to the particular value of the one or more settings is then determined. The determined IPD value is used in presenting subsequent software-generated images with the stereoscopic display.

Abstract: A game controller includes a plurality of LEDs formed on the rear of a case. The plurality of LEDs are arranged two-dimensionally in its layout area. The game controller has a plurality of PWM control units which are provided inside the case and control the lighting of the plurality of LEDs, respectively. The PWM control units control the lighting of the LEDs based on a control signal from a game apparatus. The game apparatus acquires a captured image of the game controller, and acquires the position of the game controller in the captured image based on the positions of the LEDs in the captured image.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide methods of increasing a resolution of multimedia content. Some of those methods comprising: identifying an uprendering matrix, wherein the uprendering matrix is dependent on a resulting resolution of resulting multimedia content having the increased resolution; and for each source image of the multimedia content: defining a reference image of the source image from the multimedia content, wherein the reference image has a resolution that is the same as an original resolution of the source image; defining multiple shifted images of the source image, wherein each of the multiple shifted images corresponds with one of the elements of the uprendering matrix; and coalescing pixels from each of the reference image and the shifted images creating an uprendered image having a higher resolution than the reference image.
