Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a voice acquisition section, a reliability generation section, and a processing execution section. The voice acquisition section acquires an ambient voice. The reliability generation section generates reliability indicating a degree in which the acquired voice is uttered from the particular position on the basis of a predetermined transfer characteristic. As the predetermined transfer characteristic, a phase difference or acoustic characteristic of the voice can be assumed. The processing execution section executes a process according to the generated reliability. As the process according to the reliability, a notification according to the reliability or a predetermined command can be assumed to be executed.

Abstract: [Object] To process an image captured by a camera mounted on a moving object device or a user to be suitable for display on an image display device fixed to the head or face of the user.[Solution] The image rendering processor 1042, in the beginning, corrects the user's head posture angle qh using the camera posture angle qc (F1421), and clips a display angle of view depending on the corrected user's head posture angle qh* from the captured image to render a free viewpoint image (F1422). Then, the image processing device 1040 transmits the free viewpoint image rendered by the image rendering processor 1042 to the display device 1020 via the communication unit 1041, and the image is displayed on the display device 1020 (F1430).

Abstract: A wide angle image to be displayed on a screen fixed on the head or the face of a user is processed. When a display view angle reaches a boundary of an original wide angle image 701, an indicator 703 indicating reaching the boundary is added to a free viewpoint image 702. The indicator 703 is a part of the free viewpoint image 702 which is in contact with a boundary 704 of the wide angle image 701 or protrudes from the boundary 704 and is displayed as a black-painted frame. By observing such the indicator 703, the user can intuitively understand that the display area reaches the limit of the wide angle image.

Abstract: Provided is an image display device configured to display a free viewpoint image that tracks a movement of observer's head and trunk.The line-of-sight direction and trunk orientation of the user are individually oriented in a free viewpoint space displayed on a display device 500 based on posture information of the user's head and trunk, which are respectively obtained from a head motion tracking device 200 and a trunk motion tracking device 300. A behavior that is natural in real space can be represented by moving a line of sight to a front direction of the trunk on a space in a state where the line of sight does not match the front direction of the trunk. An unnatural UI that goes straight to the line-of-sight direction is prevented regardless of orientation of the trunk.
