Abstract
Provided is a technique in which, in arranging a virtual object with respect to a real space, a user has less trouble, usability is good, and the object is suitably placeable. A head mounted display apparatus (HMD apparatus) according to one embodiment has a function of arranging and displaying the virtual object in a space based on an operation by a user. The HMD apparatus displays, on a display surface, a grid including a plurality of points for supporting an operation of the virtual object, and disposes and displays, according to an operation includes designation of a target virtual object and designation of a first point at an arrangement destination, the target virtual object at the position of the first point.
Claims19
A head mounted display apparatus arranging and displaying a virtual object in a space based on a user's operation,
- wherein the head mounted display is configured to:
- display a grid on a display surface of the head mounted display, the grid including a plurality of points for supporting an operation of the virtual object;
- and
- according to an operation including designation of a target virtual object and designation of a first point at an arrangement destination, arrange and display the target virtual object at a position of the first point,
- wherein the head mounted display apparatus comprises a world coordinate system and a local coordinate system as coordinate systems of the space,
- wherein the world coordinate system is a coordinate system in which a direction and an origin are fixed to and set at the space,
- wherein the local coordinate system is a coordinate system in which an origin and a direction are fixed to and set at the head mounted display apparatus,
- wherein the grid has a first grid set in the world coordinate system, and a second grid set in the local coordinate system,
- wherein the virtual object is arranged with respect to the selected first grid or second grid, and
- wherein the target virtual object is moved, according to the operation, between a position of a point on the first gird arranged in the first coordinate system and a position of a point of the second grid arranged in the second coordinate system.
A head mounted display apparatus arranging and displaying a virtual object in a space based on a user's operation,
- wherein the head mounted display is configured to:
- display a grid on a display surface of the head mounted display, the grid including a plurality of points for supporting an operation of the virtual object;
- and
- according to an operation including designation of a target virtual object and designation of a first point at an arrangement destination, arrange and display the target virtual object at a position of the first point,
- wherein an image having identification information is displayed for each point of the plurality of points on the grid,
- wherein an image having virtual-object identification information is displayed for each virtual object, and
- wherein the operation includes designation of the virtual-object identification information or designation of the identification information.
A head mounted display apparatus arranging and displaying a virtual object in a space based on a user's operation,
- wherein the head mounted display is configured to:
- display a grid on a display surface of the head mounted display, the grid including a plurality of points for supporting an operation of the virtual object;
- and
- according to an operation including designation of a target virtual object and designation of a first point at an arrangement destination, arrange and display the target virtual object at a position of the first point,
- wherein the grid is a selected three-dimensional grid,
- wherein an image having grid-surface identification information is displayed for each grid surface of a plurality of grid surfaces of the three-dimensional grid,
- wherein the operation includes designation of the grid-surface identification information,
- wherein the target virtual object is designatable as designation of the grid surface that uses the grid-surface identification information and to which the target virtual object belongs, and
- wherein the first point is designatable as the designation of the grid surface including the first point that uses the grid-surface identification information.
A head mounted display apparatus arranging and displaying a virtual object in a space based on a user's operation,
- wherein the head mounted display is configured to:
- display a grid on a display surface of the head mounted display, the grid including a plurality of points for supporting an operation of the virtual object;
- and
- according to an operation including designation of a target virtual object and designation of a first point at an arrangement destination, arrange and display the target virtual object at a position of the first point,
- wherein the grid is a selected two-dimensional grid or three-dimensional grid, and
- wherein when a plurality of virtual objects are arranged at positions of a plurality of points of the grid in a depth direction seen from a viewpoint of the user, the plurality of virtual objects are displayed in parallel on a line in a direction different from the depth direction.
