Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes a bio-information obtaining unit configured to obtain bio-information of a subject; a kinetic-information obtaining unit configured to obtain kinetic information of the subject; and a control unit configured to determine an expression or movement of an avatar on the basis of the bio-information obtained by the bio-information obtaining unit and the kinetic information obtained by the kinetic-information obtaining unit and to perform a control operation so that the avatar with the determined expression or movement is displayed.
Claims18
An information processing apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor configured to perform a method comprising:
- determining a user state of a first user based on an image of the first user captured by an image sensor and a movement of the first user detected by an acceleration sensor and/or a gyro sensor, wherein the user state of the first user comprises an emotional state of the first user;
- and
- controlling a real-time display of an avatar image of the first user, representing the user state of the first user, and an avatar image of a second user, representing a user state of the second user, on a display, wherein controlling the real-time display of the avatar image of the first user and the avatar image of the second user comprises determining the avatar image of the first user based on the emotional state of the first user and determining the avatar image of the second user based on an emotional state of the second user,
- wherein the user state of the second user is determined via an external device based on an image of the second user and a movement of the second user, wherein the user state of the second user comprises the emotional state of the second user.
An information processing method, the method comprising:
- determining a user state of a first user based on an image of the first user captured by an image sensor and a movement of the first user detected by an acceleration sensor and/or a gyro sensor, wherein the user state of the first user comprises an emotional state of the first user;
- and
- controlling a real-time display of an avatar image of the first user, representing the user state of the first user, and an avatar image of a second user, representing a user state of the second user, on a display, wherein controlling the real-time display of the avatar image of the first user and the avatar image of the second user comprises determining the avatar image of the first user based on the emotional state of the first user and determining the avatar image of the second user based on an emotional state of the second user,
- wherein the user state of the second user is determined via an external device based on an image of the second user and a movement of the second user, wherein the user state of the second user comprises the emotional state of the second user.
