Abstract
A terminal device includes a calculation unit that calculates a relative position between the terminal device and a display device that displays virtual reality to be used by a user, a display control unit that changes a photographing range to be photographed in the virtual reality displayed on the display device, based on the relative position, and a video data acquisition unit that acquires video data related to video in the virtual reality photographed in the photographing range that is changed by the display control unit.
Claims6
A terminal device comprising:
- a calculation unit that calculates a relative position between the terminal device and a display device that displays virtual reality to be used by a user;
- a display control unit that causes a virtual terminal device to display in accordance with a control signal from the terminal device in a space of the virtual reality and, based on the relative position, changes a photographing range displayed on the virtual terminal device in the space of the virtual reality displayed on the display device;
- and
- a video data acquisition unit that acquires photographing data related to video in the space of the photographing range that is changed by the display control unit, wherein
- the display control unit causes a display unit of the virtual terminal device to display video related to the photographing data acquired by the video data acquisition unit,
- the virtual terminal device has a photographing mode of a front camera for photographing the photographing range including an avatar of the user and an avatar of another user in a same space of the virtual reality in an image, and
- the terminal device further comprises a storage control unit that saves, in a storage unit and based on a saving operation, the photographing data in the photographing range according to the photographing mode acquired by the video data acquisition unit.
A method comprising:
- calculating a relative position between a terminal device and a display device that displays virtual reality to be used by a user;
- causing a virtual terminal device to display in accordance with a control signal from the terminal device in a space of the virtual reality and, based on the relative position, changing a photographing range displayed on the virtual terminal device in the space of the virtual reality displayed on the display device;
- acquiring photographing data related to video in the photographing range that is changed in the space;
- causing a display unit of the virtual terminal device to display video related to the photographing data;
- setting a photographing mode of the virtual terminal device to a photographing mode of a front camera for photographing the photographing range including an avatar of the user and an avatar of another user in a same space of the virtual reality in an image;
- and
- saving, based on a saving operation, the photographing data in the photographing range according to the photographing mode in a storage unit.
A non-transitory computer readable recording medium storing therein a computer program that, in response to execution by a computer, causes the computer to execute:
- calculating a relative position between a terminal device and a display device that displays virtual reality to be used by a user;
- causing a virtual terminal device to display in accordance with a control signal from the terminal device in a space of the virtual reality;
- based on the relative position, changing a photographing range displayed on the virtual terminal device in the space of the virtual reality displayed on the display device;
- acquiring photographing data related to video in the photographing range that is changed in the space;
- causing a display unit of the virtual terminal device to display video related to the photographing data;
- setting a photographing mode of the virtual terminal device to a photographing mode of a front camera for photographing the photographing range including an avatar of the user and an avatar of another user in a same space of the virtual reality in an image;
- and
- saving, based on a saving operation, the photographing data in the photographing range according to the photographing mode in a storage unit.
