Abstract
There is provided an information processing apparatus including: a recognition unit which recognizes an irradiation position of laser light by a laser pointer to a projection image; an acquisition unit which acquires movement information of the laser pointer; and an output unit which outputs a control signal for causing display of an object within a projection image corresponding to the irradiation position to be changed in accordance with the movement information.
Claims14
An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- a central processing unit (CPU) configured to:
- recognize a first irradiation position of a non-visible light marker emitted, on a projection image, by a laser pointer of a plurality of laser pointers, wherein
- the projection image includes a plurality of objects,
- the plurality of objects are different from the non-visible light marker,
- the first irradiation position is recognized based on a difference between the projection image and a non-visible light captured image, and
- the non-visible light captured image includes the non-visible light marker;
- receive determination operation information from the plurality of laser pointers;
- determine an object, from the plurality of objects, that corresponds to the first irradiation position of the non-visible light marker in the projection image as an operation target, wherein the object is determined as the operation target based on the received determination operation information;
- acquire movement information of the plurality of laser pointers from the plurality of laser pointers,
- wherein the acquired movement information of the plurality of laser pointers indicates movement of the plurality of laser pointers;
- output a control signal based on the acquired movement information of the plurality of laser pointers;
- and
- control movement of the object in the projection image based on the control signal and the determination of the object as the operation target, wherein
- the movement of the object is similar to the movement of the plurality of laser pointers.

- acquiring movement information of the plurality of laser pointers from the plurality of laser pointers,
- wherein the acquired movement information of the plurality of laser pointers indicates movement of the plurality of laser pointers;
- outputting a control signal based on the acquired movement information of the plurality of laser pointers;
- and
- controlling movement of the object in the projection image based on the control signal and the determination of the object as the operation target, wherein
- the movement of the object is similar to the movement of the plurality of laser pointers.
