Abstract:
Provided is a controller device capable of performing various operation inputs to an information processor via an attachment despite the attachment not being provided with an electrical circuit. The controller device includes a core unit having a touch sensor disposed on a surface thereof, and an attachment that is attached to the core unit so as to cover the touch sensor. The attachment is provided with an operation member that is configured so as to be able to contact the touch sensor in a state where the attachment is attached to the core unit, the contact mode with respect to the touch sensor changing in accordance with user operation.
Abstract:
There is provided a haptic device including a small-size haptic unit. The haptic device includes a weight, a magnet fixed to the weight, a coil that generates a magnetic field to reciprocate the magnet along a predetermined direction, and a current control unit that presents a haptic sensation to a user by controlling a current flowing in the coil to vibrate the weight.
Abstract:
An image generating device configured to provide a cloud service to a head-mounted display via a network is provided. A photographed image receiving section 510 receives a plurality of photographed images photographed in different photographing directions. A panoramic image processing section 530 generates a panoramic image by synthesizing the plurality of photographed images photographed in the different photographing directions. A format converting section 540 converts the panoramic image into an image format suitable for specifications of the head-mounted display. A panoramic image transmitting section 550 transmits the panoramic image after format conversion to the head-mounted display.
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:
An obstacle detecting unit detects an obstacle for a user wearing a head mounted display from an image of the outside world. A distance calculating unit calculates the distance from a detected obstacle to the user wearing the head mounted display. An obstacle replacing unit replaces the detected obstacle with a virtual object. A virtual object synthesizing unit generates a virtual object at a position within a virtual space displayed on the head mounted display, in which the position is determined according to the distance to the obstacle.
Abstract:
Frame memories store captured images supplied from a plurality of imaging units, respectively. A motion detection portion detects the motion of a captured image of at least one of the imaging units. A mode determination portion sets, in accordance with at least either the amount of the motion detected by the motion detection portion or a power consumption limit of the image generation device, one of two modes, one for operating the plurality of imaging units simultaneously and the other for operating the plurality of imaging units intermittently. A control signal generation portion supplies, to the plurality of frame memories, a control signal adapted to control reading of the captured images from the plurality of frame memories in accordance with the mode set by the mode determination portion.
Abstract:
A block tool, which can be assembled by a user, is configured with multiple types of blocks and is shot by a camera for capturing a still image or a moving image. The position coordinates of a marker of the square-pillar block in a three-dimensional space are obtained by image recognition. Also, a connecting position and the type of each block, a gradient vector of the square-pillar block, an angle between two blocks constituting the square-pillar block, and the respective blocks' lengths are obtained so as to derive the shape, posture, and position of the block tool, and corresponding information processing is then performed.
