摘要:
Based on an observer's position and observing direction measured in the real world and positions of a virtual light source and virtual object in a virtual world, a brightness adjustment value of the virtual light source is adjusted in a way that, when light from the virtual light source is blocked by an observer, brightness of the virtual object observed by the observer is reduced as if the observer were observing in the real world. As a result, a mixed reality presentation system that achieves a sense of reality is provided.

A mixed reality space image generation method for generating a mixed reality space image formed by superimposing a virtual space image onto a real space image obtained by capturing a real space, includes a first image superimposing step of superimposing a first virtual space image onto a real space image based on an occlusion by a real object, wherein the first virtual space image is an outer appearance of the real object, and obtaining information of location and orientation of the real object. In addition, a second virtual image is set based on the information of location and orientation of the real object, and a second image superimposing step superimposes the second virtual space image onto the superimposed image generated in the first image superimposing step without considering the occlusion, wherein the second virtual space image is an annotation associated with the real object.

The position and orientation of the viewpoint of the observer are acquired (2030), the moving amount of a movable part is acquired (2032), a movable part of a virtual object is moved based on the moving amount of the movable part of a physical object, and an image which is observed from the viewpoint of the observer is generated (2040).

When stereoscopic video data is distributed through a network, some terminal cannot process the distributed stereoscopic video data because the format of the data does not correspond to the terminal. Likewise, when video data are input from a plurality of types of cameras with different stereoscopic video data formats, data of an incompatible format cannot be processed. In order to prevent this problem, there is provided a stereoscopic video apparatus which inputs stereoscopic video data, converts the format of the input stereoscopic video data into a format suitable to output operation, and outputs the converted stereoscopic video data to a network.

The pointing position of a pointing device is measured based on position and orientation information of the pointing device. The pointing position is measured based on the pointing position in a sensed image obtained by sensing the pointing position of the pointing device by an image sensing device, and position and orientation information of the image sensing device. A real pointing position of the pointing device is measured based on these measurement results. A virtual pointing device which points to a virtual image to be combined with a real image is generated using the same reference as that used to measure the real pointing position. A virtual pointing position of the virtual pointing device is measured.

An instruction is detected which indicates that a physical object having a fixed plane where the physical object can be moved, and a virtual object rendered so as to be positioned on the plane where the physical object can be moved, are observed as being in a predetermined positional relationship. Then, a difference between a position and orientation value of the virtual object and a position and orientation value of the physical object is acquired at the time when the instruction is detected, so that the difference is used as a correction value to correct the positional difference between the physical object and the virtual object.

An information processing method and an information processing apparatus for preventing a user from experiencing fear in a virtual environment due to the area surrounding their feet being invisible because of CG masking the real space are provided. The information processing method and apparatus acquire the position and posture of the user when generating an image of a virtual reality and combining the image of the virtual reality with an image of real space to present the combined image to the user. When the user is inside a virtual building, the information processing method and apparatus generate objects inside the virtual building and a transparent object and combine the generated objects with an image of real space. By displaying the combined image, the image of real space is displayed at the feet of the user.

A three-dimensional CG manipulation apparatus has a real object, a position and orientation sensor provided to the real object, a support base, a position and orientation sensor provided to the support base, a head-mounted display, a position and orientation sensor provided to the head-mounted display, a sensor information acquisition unit for acquiring information from the sensors, a state determination unit for determining the current state of the real object and support base, a CG data management unit for managing CG data to be displayed, and an image generation unit for generating an image to be displayed on the head-mounted display. In a mixed realty system that presents an image formed by superimposing a virtual CG image on a real object to the user, a manipulation such as replacement or the like can be easily made for the virtual CG image without interrupting the user's operation.
