Abstract: A controller 20 transmits a unique ID to a console main unit 10 when starting communication with said console main unit 10. The console main unit 10 determines whether the received unique ID has already been registered in a wired controller No. registration table, and when it has already been registered, sets already registered correspondence for corresponding a virtual controller No., a wired controller No., and the unique ID. Otherwise, if it is not yet registered, a wired controller No. and the unique ID are corresponded, and new registration and correspondence setting for corresponding them to a virtual controller No. is conducted. The virtual controller No. corresponded to the unique ID is associated to predetermined information processing if the already registered correspondence setting or new registration and correspondence setting is completed.

Abstract: A system for performing a pinch and hold gesture is described. The system includes a head-mounted display (HMD) and a glove, which is worn by a hand of the user. Each finger segment of the glove includes a sensor for detecting positions of the finger segment when moved by the hand. The system includes a computing device interfaced with the HMD and the glove. The computing device analyzes data from the sensors of the finger segments to determine that a pinch and hold gesture is performed by at least two of the finger segments. Moreover, the computing device generates image data that is communicated to the HMD, such that a scene rendered on the HMD is modified to render a visual cue indicative of a location in the scene at which the pinch and hold gesture is associated.

Abstract: The present invention is to provide an information processing device, an information processing method, a program, and an information storage medium with which the accuracy of detection of whether the contact of an object with a subject is present or absent is improved compared with conventional techniques. A frame image acquiring section (32) acquires plural frame images that include a subject region in which an image of a subject appears and are taken at timings different from each other. A subject partial region identifying section (38) identifies, about each of the frame images, plural subject partial regions that are each part of the subject region and are different from each other in the position in the subject region. A partial region feature identifying section (40) identifies partial region features showing variation in an image feature of an image occupying the subject partial region on the basis of the image feature of the image occupying each of the subject partial regions associated with each other in each of the frame images. A contact determining section (42) determines whether the contact of an object with the subject is present or absent on the basis of a relationship among the partial region features each associated with a respective one of plural subject partial regions.

Abstract: Methods and systems for filtering content include identifying content for presenting in a rendering space defined by one or more mechanisms of a head mounted display (HMD), wherein the content is interactive, streaming content. A rating score for the content is identified. The content is dynamically adjusted to selectively filter a portion of the content based on a user profile of the user, rating score of the content, and ongoing interactions detected at the content. The adjusted content is formatted for rendering on the HMD. The formatted content is automatically transmitted to the HMD for rendering, in response to the request.

Abstract: In an image processing apparatus, a sensor output data acquisition unit acquires data of layered image information from a sensor group. A slice image generation unit generates data of a two-dimensional image for each slice plane surfaces in which distribution is acquired. An image axis conversion unit generates similar data of a two-dimensional image for a plurality of plane surfaces that are perpendicular to an axis different from a sensor axis. A slice image management unit of a display processing unit manages a slice image that is used for drawing according to the position of a viewpoint or the like. Memory for drawing sequentially stores data of an image necessary for drawing. An additional object image storage unit stores image data of an object that is additionally displayed such as a cursor or the like. An image drawing unit draws a three-dimensional object using data of the slice image.
