Abstract
A wearable terminal apparatus to be worn by a user for use includes a camera and at least one processor. The camera images a space as a visible region of the user. The at least one processor identifies, as a capture region, a part of the visible region in the space imaged by the camera, based on a first gesture operation of the user, and stores a capture image corresponding to the capture region in a storage unit. This allows a part of the visible region desired by the user to be stored as the capture image in the storage unit and thus can improve the user convenience.
Claims36
A wearable terminal apparatus to be worn by a user for use, comprising:
- a camera configured to image a space as a visible region of the user;
- at least one circuitry;
- a display including a display member having a light-transmitting property, wherein the at least one circuitry is configured to cause a first virtual image to be displayed on a display surface of the display member, the first virtual image being visually recognized in the space that is visually recognized through the display member, wherein
- the at least one circuitry is configured to:
- identify, as a capture region, a part of the visible region in the space imaged by the camera, based on a first gesture operation of the user;
- store a capture image corresponding to the capture region in a storage;
- and
- cause the display to display the capture image as a second virtual image based on the capture image having been stored in the storage.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer provided in a wearable terminal apparatus to perform a process, the wearable terminal apparatus being an apparatus to be worn by a user for use, the wearable terminal apparatus including a camera to image a space as a visible region of the user, the process comprising:
- identifying, as a capture region, a part of the visible region in the space imaged by the camera, based on a first gesture operation of the user;
- storing a capture image corresponding to the capture region in a storage;
- acquiring position information of the wearable terminal apparatus in response to the first gesture operation;
- and
- storing the acquired position information in the storage in association with the capture image.
An image processing method to be executed by a computer provided in a wearable terminal apparatus that is to be worn by a user for use and includes a camera to image a space as a visible region of the user, the image processing method comprising;
- identifying, as a capture region, a part of the visible region in the space imaged by the camera, based on a first gesture operation of the user;
- storing a capture image corresponding to the capture region in a storage;
- determining whether a predetermined capture prohibited target is included in the capture region;
- and
- not storing the capture image in the storage when determining that the capture prohibited target is included in the capture region.
