Abstract: A method for tracking eye movement is provided. One embodiment of the method includes receiving a first measurement from a first sensor configured to detect a gaze location, determining an initial gaze location based at least on the first measurement, receiving at least one of eye motion amplitude and eye motion direction measurement from a second sensor, and determining an estimated gaze location based at least on the initial gaze location and the at least one of eye motion amplitude and eye motion direction. Systems perform similar steps, and non-transitory computer readable storage mediums each store one or more computer programs.

Abstract: A manipulator includes a manipulation body having a plurality of bar-shaped portions which intersect orthogonally with each other at one intersection point, and a plurality of detection bodies which detect a displacement of the manipulation body. The plural bar-shaped portions include a bar-shaped portion and another bar-shaped portion which intersect orthogonally with each other. The plural detection bodies include a first detection body which detects a displacement of one end side of the bar-shaped portion with respect to the intersection point, a second detection body which detects a displacement of the other end side of the bar-shaped portion with respect to the intersection point, and a third detection body which detects a displacement of one end side of the bar-shaped portion with respect to the intersection point.

Abstract: A home screen display unit arranges and displays a plurality of content icons indicating a plurality of pieces of content in a first area in a content zone screen. If a specific content icon is focused on by the cursor and if a preset determination operation is performed, a content playback unit starts playback of the content indicated by the focused icon. If a specific content icon is focused on by the cursor, a related information acquiring unit acquires related information relating to the content that is indicated by the focused icon that is registered in an external device from the external device without starting playback of the content. A home screen display unit displays the acquired related information in a second area of the content zone screen and displays, if related information is updated, the updated related information in the second area so as to replace the related information displayed until that moment.

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: An information processing device includes an image acquirer that acquires a shot image of an object having a marker, a marker detector that detects an image of the marker from the shot image, and an information processing section that executes information processing based on a detection result by the marker detector. The marker detector identifies the image of the marker among color regions that are extracted from the shot image and have predetermined colors based on the positional relationship between a region that is assumed when one color region of the color regions extracted is a marker and is covered by an image of an object having the marker and another color region extracted.

Abstract: An image of a game played by a user A is streaming distributed to information processing apparatuses of users B, C and D. On an outputting apparatus of the user A, candidates for a user who is to play the game in place of the user A are presented. To a user who has the operation right of the game, a controller mark indicating that the user has the operation right of the game is applied. Consequently, the user A can recognize at a glance who has the operation right.
