Abstract
An information processing device obtains information regarding the position of each fingertip of a user in a real space, and determines contact between a virtual object set within a virtual space and a finger of the user. The information processing device sets the virtual object in a partly deformed state such that a part of the virtual object, the part corresponding to the position of the finger determined to be in contact with the object among the fingers of the user, is located more to a far side from a user side than the finger, and displays the virtual object having the shape set thereto as an image in the virtual space on a display device.
Claims17
An information processing device connected to a display device presenting an image of a virtual space to a user, the information processing device comprising:
- circuitry configured to
- obtain information regarding a position of a fingertip of the user in a real space;
- set, within the virtual space, a position and an image of a virtual object superimposed on an image of an object within the real space;
- determine contact between the virtual object set within the virtual space and the finger of the user;
- recognize a surface of the object within the real space;
- and
- perform processing in which the position of the virtual object is moved to a position based on the surface according to an instruction of the user, wherein
- the circuitry is configured to set an icon included in the virtual object in a deformed state when a fingertip of the user is in contact with the icon.
A method performed by an information processing device, the method comprising:
- obtaining information regarding a position of a fingertip of the user in a real space;
- setting, within a virtual space, a position and an image of a virtual object superimposed on an image of an object within the real space;
- determining contact between the virtual object set within the virtual space and the finger of the user;
- recognizing a surface of the object within the real space;
- performing processing in which the position of the virtual object is moved to a position based on the surface according to an instruction of the user;
- and
- setting an icon included in the virtual object in a deformed state when a fingertip of the user is in contact with the icon.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a program, which when executed by circuitry, causes the circuitry to:
- obtain information regarding a position of a fingertip of the user in a real space;
- set, within a virtual space, a position and an image of a virtual object superimposed on an image of an object within the real space;
- determine contact between the virtual object set within the virtual space and the finger of the user;
- recognize a surface of the object within the real space;
- perform processing in which the position of the virtual object is moved to a position based on the surface according to an instruction of the user;
- and
- setting an icon included in the virtual object in a deformed state when a fingertip of the user is in contact with the icon.
