Abstract
For example, rendering is switchable. There is provided an information processing apparatus including: a first image processing unit that projects a predetermined object onto a two-dimensional plane in a virtual space; and a second image processing unit that renders a three-dimensional model related to a predetermined object at a location that is not the two-dimensional plane in the virtual space, in which at least a first rendering state by the first image processing unit and a second rendering state by the second image processing unit are switchable.
Claims13
A head-mounted display comprising:
- circuitry configured to
- reproduce video content including a virtual object,
- control a display to display the virtual object in a virtual space onto a two-dimensional plane, and
- control the display to display a three-dimensional model of the virtual object at a location other than the two-dimensional plane in the virtual space,
- wherein a rendering state is switched between a first rendering state of the virtual object and a second rendering state of the virtual object,
- wherein the first rendering state is two-dimensional display of the virtual object onto the two-dimensional plane,
- wherein the second rendering state is three-dimensional display of the virtual object based on the three-dimensional model,
- wherein the rendering state is switched for a first part of the virtual object according to a position of the first part of the virtual object with respect to a boundary surface in the virtual space, and
- wherein a position of the virtual object is changed based on a progress of the video content.
An information processing method, the method comprising:
- reproducing video content including a virtual object;
- displaying the virtual object in a virtual space onto a two-dimensional plane;
- and
- displaying a three-dimensional model of the virtual object at a location other than the two-dimensional plane in the virtual space,
- wherein a rendering state is switched between a first rendering state of the virtual object and a second rendering state of the virtual object,
- wherein the first rendering state is two-dimensional display of the virtual object onto the two-dimensional plane,
- wherein the second rendering state is three-dimensional display of the virtual object based on the three-dimensional model,
- wherein the rendering state is switched for a first part of the virtual object according to a position of the first part of the virtual object with respect to a boundary surface in the virtual space, and
- wherein a position of the virtual object is changed based on a progress of the video content.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having embodied thereon a program, which when executed by a computer causes the computer to execute an information processing method, the method comprising:
- reproducing video content including a virtual object;
- displaying the virtual object in a virtual space onto a two-dimensional plane;
- and
- displaying a three-dimensional model of the virtual object at a location other than the two-dimensional plane in the virtual space,
- wherein a rendering state is switched between a first rendering state of the virtual object and a second rendering state of the virtual object,
- wherein the first rendering state is two-dimensional display of the virtual object onto the two-dimensional plane,
- wherein the second rendering state is three-dimensional display of the virtual object based on the three-dimensional model,
- wherein the rendering state is switched for a first part of the virtual object according to a position of the first part of the virtual object with respect to a boundary surface in the virtual space, and
- wherein a position of the virtual object is changed based on a progress of the video content.
