摘要:
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.

A calibration method and apparatus acquires a correction value to correct position and orientation measured by using a position and orientation sensor provided on a physical object by measuring position and orientation of the physical object when a calibration is started, generating an image of the virtual object existing on a plane on which the physical object can be moved, and displaying a composite image formed by superimposing the image of the virtual object on the captured image of the physical object. Additional features include detecting an instruction indicating that a predetermined positional relationship between the physical object and the virtual object is satisfied, providing a second measuring position and orientation of the physical object when the instruction is detected, and acquiring the correction value expressed by parallel movement of the physical object on the plane and rotation of the physical object about an axis set in the direction perpendicular to the plane on the basis of the first position and orientation measured and the second position and orientation measured.

A virtual reality presentation apparatus (100) has a CPU (101) which controls the overall apparatus, a memory (103) which stores various programs, a memory (104) which stores various data, an HMD (105) as a video display device, and a position and orientation controller (106) having position and orientation sensors (107, 108, 109), which are connected to each other via a bus (102). After a position and orientation required to render a CG scene for one frame are determined, when CG objects are in an interference state immediately before this processing and the difference between the current time and an interference time (128) set upon determining the interference state does not exceed an interference detection skip time (124), CG image generation means (112) generates a CG scene for one frame based on the determined position and orientation without checking if an interference has occurred between the CG objects.

摘要:
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 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.
