摘要： A system and method for replaying the activity on request to individuals and to the group at large within a virtual reality (VR) arena for training and efficiency improvement purposes from within the VR system or outside is disclosed. The virtual reality (VR) system does real time tracking and response feedback to the players, using light markers and cameras connected to multiple slave-server systems that are controlled by a master-server. The hierarchical data collection system collects all the activity and tracking data from the arena. The master-server combines and correlates all the data collected from the VR arena and sends that to the game-server to be saved in a dedicated storage memory coupled to the game server. This data is then played back as VR play back on request to individuals or to all players and supervisory staff within or outside the VR arena for training and efficiency improvement purposes.

摘要： A video game device calculates a difference vector extending from a predetermined reference position on the screen to an input position. Moreover, the video game device calculates movement parameter data used for moving, with respect to a fixed point in the virtual space uniquely determined based on a position of the controlled object, the point of sight to a position that is determined by a direction in the virtual space based on a direction of the difference vector and a distance in the virtual space based on a magnitude of the difference vector. The point of sight is moved based on the movement parameter data. The video game device produces an image based on a virtual camera, which has been moved according to the movement of the point of sight, and displays the image on the screen of a display device.

摘要： Systems, apparatuses, and methods for rendering images directly to a video encoder are disclosed. A game engine includes an embedded rendering unit configured to render images in different color spaces depending on the mode. The rendering unit renders images for a first color space only to be driven directly to a display while operating in a first mode. The rendering unit renders images for a second color space only which are provided directly to a video encoder while operating in a second mode. In a third mode, the rendering unit renders images for both color spaces. In one embodiment, the first color space is RGB and the second color space is YUV. The game engine also generates a plurality of attributes associated with each rendered image and the video encoder encodes each rendered image into an encoded bitstream based on the attributes associated with the rendered image.

摘要： In an example of a system, in a virtual space, a player camera that follows each player in a multiplay game, a bird's-eye camera that views the virtual space from a bird's-eye view, and an object camera that follows a predetermined object are set. A watcher watches the game by switching the player camera, the bird's-eye camera, and the object camera. In accordance with an operation of the watcher, the bird's-eye camera moves in the virtual space, and a height of the bird's-eye camera is determined in advance in accordance with a position. When virtual cameras are switched by the watcher, a game image from the virtual cameras during the switching is displayed.

摘要： Optimizations are provided for facilitating optimal viewing positions for viewing virtual objects in VR environments. Initially, user selection of a virtual object being rendered in a VR display is detected. Subsequently, an optimal viewing position is dynamically calculated based on one or more characteristic of the virtual object to be viewed. A predetermined triggering event is also detected, and in response to the predetermined triggering event, a scene which is arranged to display the selected virtual object from the optimal viewing position is rendered in the VR display.

摘要： A method and a terminal device for switching perspective are provided. The terminal device receives a perspective switching instruction when the terminal device is in a first perspective mode in which the terminal device displays a scenario from a first perspective. The terminal device determines a second perspective mode to display the scenario from a second perspective. Next, the terminal devices adjusts a first display parameter of a first model of the scenario from the first perspective and a second display parameter of a second model of the scenario from the second perspective according to a preset rule for a transition from the first perspective mode to the second perspective mode. Further, the terminal device displays the first model according to the first display parameter and the second model according to the second display parameter during the transition from the first perspective mode to the second perspective mode.

摘要： A non-limiting example game system includes a game apparatus, and a terminal device and a television are connected to the game apparatus. A game image that is displayed on the television is an image that various kinds of objects arranged in a virtual space are imaged by a virtual camera. The virtual camera follows a player object so as to keep a predetermined distance with the player object, and when the player object enters a grassland object with comparatively long length, for example, each grass object is deformed or moved so as to go away from the virtual camera. For example, a height of the grass object near the virtual camera is made comparatively low, and the height is gradually made high as it separates from the virtual camera.

摘要： A method includes defining a virtual space, wherein the virtual space comprises a second avatar object and a first avatar of object, the first avatar object is associated with a first user, and the first user is associated with a first head-mounted device (HMD). The method further includes identifying a position of the first avatar object in the virtual space. The method further includes defining a visual field from the position in the virtual space. The method further includes generating a visual-field image corresponding to the visual field. The method further includes displaying the visual-field image on the first HMD. The method further includes identifying a relative positional relationship between the first avatar object and the second avatar object. The method further includes displaying an enlarged image of at least a part of the second avatar object in response to the relative positional relationship satisfying a predetermined condition.

摘要： In some embodiments, a detecting endpoint system accessing a shared virtual environment detects a collision between a target avatar and an object within the shared virtual environment. The detecting endpoint system transmits a location change notification for a head of the target avatar. An observer endpoint system moves the head of the target avatar based on the location change notification. A target endpoint system associated with the target avatar does not move its viewpoint based on the location change notification. In some embodiments, this decoupling of viewpoint from the avatar allows for a more immersive experience for all users.
