Abstract: Natural appearance of transition from a predetermined object of two-dimensional content displayed on a two-dimensional display to a three-dimensional display model of an AR display device or vice versa is achieved. Control is performed such that, the transition is performed after switching the two-dimensional content from the motion parallax non-application display to the motion parallax application display. For example, control is performed such that the motion parallax application display is displayed on the two-dimensional display in a case where there is one AR display device, and the motion parallax application display is displayed on the AR display device in a case where there is a plurality of AR display devices.

Abstract: A device and a method for performing AR image display control in which flicker in a boundary region between a virtual object and a real object is not noticeable are provided. A real object detection unit that executes processing of detecting a real object in a real world, and an augmented reality (AR) image display control unit that generates an AR image visually recognized in such a manner that a virtual object exists in a same space as a real object and outputs the AR image to a display unit are included, in which the AR image display control unit, in a case where a position of the real object detected by the real object detection unit is on a near side in a depth direction with respect to a position where the virtual object to be displayed on the display unit is arranged, an additional virtual object is output to the display unit on the near side in the depth direction with respect to the position of the real object in such a manner as to hide at least a partial region of a boundary region between the virtual object and the real object.

Abstract: [Problem] To provide an information processor, an information processing method, and a storage medium that can properly reduce a display delay when a virtual object is superimposed on a field of view on a video see-through display.
[Solution] The information processor includes a display control unit, wherein the display control unit controls the video see-through display configured to display a captured image that is acquired by an imaging unit, the display control unit superimposes the virtual object on a first captured image if a load of recognition of a real space based on a predetermined captured image is a first load, the virtual object being drawn on the basis of recognition of the real space, and the display control unit superimposes the virtual object on a second captured image if the load of the recognition is a second load greater than the first load, the second captured image being acquired before the first captured image.

Abstract: An information processing device (1) according to an embodiment includes a display control unit (34) and a decision unit (31). The display control unit (34) displays a content image on a head-mounted display. During display of the content image by the display control unit (34), the decision unit (31) decides whether or not a surrounding person exists in a front direction of the head-mounted display on the basis of a camera image obtained by capturing an image of a surrounding environment of the head-mounted display. In a case where the decision unit (31) decides that a surrounding person exists, the display control unit (34) moves a display position of the content image.

Abstract: A display delay of a virtual object is to be shortened, to alleviate the user's feeling of strangeness and enhance the sense of immersion in an AR space.
An information processing apparatus according to the present technology includes: a drawing control unit that performs drawing control on a virtual object displayed while being associated with a real object recognized in an object recognition process; and a correction control unit that performs control so that an image obtained in a virtual object drawing process performed on the basis of a recognition result of an object recognition processing performed at a first time point is corrected on the basis of a recognition result of an object recognition process performed at a second time point that is later than the first time point.
