Abstract
There is provided an information processing device, an information processing method, and a program to enable an observer to visually recognize an image in a virtual space with higher convenience, the information processing device including: a control unit that controls, on a basis of a gazing point or a gazing target of an observer to an image in a virtual space, an angle-of-view of a virtual camera for defining the image in the virtual space; and an image information output unit that outputs information about the image in the virtual space.
Claims20
An information processing device comprising:
- a control unit that controls, on a basis of a gazing point or a gazing target of an observer to an image in a virtual space, an angle-of-view of a virtual camera for defining the image in the virtual space;
- an image information output unit that outputs information about the image in the virtual space;
- and
- a reference-point setting unit that sets the reference point in the virtual space on a basis of the gazing point or the gazing target,
- wherein the control unit controls the angle-of-view of the virtual camera by setting a reference point that is continuously captured when a position of the virtual camera is moved,
- wherein the image information output unit outputs the information about the image so that the reference point is included in the image in the virtual space,
- wherein the position of the virtual camera is moved in accordance with motion of a head of the observer, and
- wherein the control unit, the image information output unit, and the reference-point setting unit are each implemented via at least one processor.
An information processing method comprising:
- controlling, on a basis of a gazing point or a gazing target of an observer to an image in a virtual space, an angle-of-view of a virtual camera for defining the image in the virtual space by an arithmetic processing device;
- outputting information about the image in the virtual space;
- and
- setting the reference point in the virtual space on a basis of the gazing point or the gazing target,
- wherein the angle-of-view of the virtual camera is controlled by setting a reference point that is continuously captured when a position of the virtual camera is moved,
- wherein the information about the image is output so that the reference point is included in the image in the virtual space, and
- wherein the position of the virtual camera is moved in accordance with motion of a head of the observer.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having embodied thereon a program, which when executed by a computer causes the computer to execute a method, the method comprising:
- controlling, on a basis of a gazing point or a gazing target of an observer to an image in a virtual space, an angle-of-view of a virtual camera for defining the image in the virtual space;
- outputting information about the image in the virtual space;
- and
- setting the reference point in the virtual space on a basis of the gazing point or the gazing target,
- wherein the angle-of-view of the virtual camera is controlled by setting a reference point that is continuously captured when a position of the virtual camera is moved,
- wherein the information about the image is output so that the reference point is included in the image in the virtual space, and
- wherein the position of the virtual camera is moved in accordance with motion of a head of the observer.
