    摘要: Systems and methods for occluding virtual objects in an augmented reality environment are described. A method includes generating a distance map associated with a physical object, determining a location of a virtual object in an artificial-reality environment, determining, based at least in part upon the distance map and the location of the virtual object, a first portion of the physical object that is closer than a first portion of the virtual object from the viewpoint of the user, determining a second portion of the virtual object that is not obscured by the physical object from the viewpoint of the user, and rendering a display image. The display image comprises a first set of pixels corresponding to the first portion of the physical object in a first state, and the display image comprises a second set of pixels corresponding to the second portion of the virtual object in a second state.

    摘要: There is provided an image processing device including: a data storage unit storing feature data indicating a feature of appearance of one or more physical objects; an environment map building unit for building an environment map based on an input image obtained by imaging a real space and the feature data, the environment map representing a position of a physical object present in the real space: a control unit for acquiring procedure data for a set of procedures of operation to be performed in the real space, the procedure data defining a correspondence between a direction for each procedure and position information designating a position at which the direction is to be displayed; and a superimposing unit for generating an output image by superimposing the direction for each procedure at a position in the input image determined based on the environment map and the position information, using the procedure data.

    摘要: A computer system is used to host a virtual reality universe process in which multiple avatars are independently controlled in response to client input. The host provides coordinated motion information for defining coordinated movement between designated portions of multiple avatars, and an application responsive to detect conditions triggering a coordinated movement sequence between two or more avatars. During coordinated movement, user commands for controlling avatar movement may be in part used normally and in part ignored or otherwise processed to cause the involved avatars to respond in part to respective client input and in part to predefined coordinated movement information. Thus, users may be assisted with executing coordinated movement between multiple avatars.
