Abstract
An information processing device including a display unit, a detector, and a first control unit and a method of using same. The display unit may be a head-mounted display. The display unit is capable of providing the user with a field of view of a real space and a virtual object. The detector detects an azimuth of the display unit around at least one axis and display of the virtual object is controlled based in the detected azimuth.
Claims24
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a display unit, wherein the display unit is configured to provide a user with a field of view of a real space;
- a detector configured to detect an attitude of the display unit around at least one axis;
- and
- a display control unit configured to display a virtual object in the field of view based on an output of the detector,
- wherein,
- a position of the virtual object is fixed at a first position in a first coordinate system in a first mode,
- the position of the virtual object is changeable based on a change of the attitude of the display unit in a second coordinate system in a second mode, and
- the first mode and the second mode are switched based on an input operation of the user.

A head-mounted display comprising:
- a display unit configured to be mountable on a head of a user, wherein the display unit is configured to provide the user with a field of view of a real space;
- a detector configured to detect an attitude of the display unit around at least one axis;
- and
- a display control unit configured to display a virtual object in the field of view based on an output of the detector,
- wherein,
- a position of the virtual object is fixed at a first position in a first coordinate system in a first mode,
- the position of the virtual object is changeable based on a change of the attitude of the display unit in a second coordinate system in a second mode, and
- the first mode and the second mode are switched based on an input operation of the user.

A method comprising:
- providing a user with a field of view of a real space via a display unit;
- detecting an attitude of the display unit around at least one axis;
- and
- displaying a virtual object in the field of view based on an output of the detector under the control of a display control unit,
- wherein,
- a position of the virtual object is fixed at a first position in a first coordinate system in a first mode,
- the position of the virtual object is changeable based on a change of the attitude of the display unit in a second coordinate system in a second mode, and
- the first mode and the second mode are switched based on an input operation of the user.
