Abstract
There is provided an image processing apparatus which includes a voice recognition section that recognizes a voice uttered by a user, a motion recognition section that recognizes a motion of the user, a text object control section that disposes an object of text representative of the contents of the voice in a three-dimensional virtual space, and varies text by implementing interaction based on the motion, and an image generation section that displays an image with the three-dimensional virtual space projected thereon.
Claims19
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a voice recognition section that recognizes a voice uttered by a user;
- a motion recognition section that recognizes a motion of the user;
- a text object control section that disposes an object of text representative of the contents of the voice in a three-dimensional virtual space, and varies text by implementing interaction based on the motion;
- and
- an image generation section that displays an image with the three-dimensional virtual space projected thereon,
- wherein the image generation section displays both an image of content and an image formed by the projection, and
- wherein, in accordance with priority levels retained for different pieces of the content, the text object control section determines text to be presented as the object.
An image processing method used by an image processing apparatus, the image processing method comprising:
- recognizing a voice uttered by a user;
- recognizing a motion of the user;
- disposing an object of text representative of the contents of the voice in a three-dimensional virtual space;
- causing a display apparatus to display an image with the three-dimensional virtual space projected thereon;
- varying the text by implementing interaction with the object in accordance with the motion;
- displaying an image with the three-dimensional virtual space projected thereon;
- displaying both an image of content and an image formed by the projection, and
- determining text to be presented as the object in accordance with priority levels retained for different pieces of the content.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a program for a computer, comprising:
- by a voice recognition section, recognizing a voice uttered by a user;
- by a motion recognition section, recognizing a motion of the user;
- by a text object control section, disposing an object of text representative of the contents of the voice in a three-dimensional virtual space and varying the text by implementing interaction in accordance with the motion;
- and
- by an image generation section, displaying an image with the three-dimensional virtual space projected thereon,
- wherein the image generation section displays both an image of content and an image formed by the projection, and
- wherein, in accordance with the priority levels retained for different pieces of the content, the text object control section determines text to be presented as the object.
