Abstract
An information processing apparatus including circuitry configured to acquire information indicating a spatial relationship between a real object and a virtual object, and initiate generation of a user feedback based on the acquired information, the user feedback being displayed to be augmented to a generated image obtained based on capturing by an imaging device, or augmented to a perceived view of the real world, and wherein a characteristic of the user feedback is changed when the spatial relationship between the real object and the virtual object changes.
Claims8
A display control apparatus, comprising:
- a sensor configured to acquire positional information of a hand of a user of a head-mounted display;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- set a virtual light source corresponding to a gaze direction of the user;
- control the head-mounted display to display a virtual object over a view of a real world;
- and
- control, based on the positional information and the virtual light source, the head-mounted display to display a virtual shadow of the hand to the virtual object.
A display control method, comprising:
- acquiring, from a sensor of a head-mounted display, positional information of a hand of a user of the head-mounted display;
- setting a virtual light source corresponding to a gaze direction of the user;
- controlling the head-mounted display to display a virtual object over a view of a real world;
- and
- controlling, based on the positional information and the virtual light source, the head-mounted display to display a virtual shadow of the hand to the virtual object.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions, which when executed by a display control apparatus for a head-mounted display cause the display control apparatus to execute operations, the operations comprising:
- acquiring, from a sensor of a head-mounted display, positional information of a hand of a user of the head-mounted display;
- setting a virtual light source corresponding to a gaze direction of the user;
- controlling the head-mounted display to display a virtual object over a view of a real world;
- and
- controlling, based on the positional information and the virtual light source, the head-mounted display to display a virtual shadow of the hand to the virtual object.
