Abstract
Disclosed herein is an information processing apparatus including at least one processor that has hardware. The at least one processor generates a first content image in a three-dimensional virtual reality space to be displayed on a head-mounted display, generates a second content image to be displayed on a flat-screen display, and generates a third content image from the first content image and/or the second content image.
Claims20
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor that has hardware, the at least one processor being configured to perform operations comprising:
- generating a first content image in a three-dimensional virtual reality space to be displayed on a head-mounted display,
- generating a second content image to be displayed on a flat-screen display;
- displaying a first menu to a user interface of the head-mounted display;
- receiving a first selection from the first menu;
- based at least in part of the received selection, generating a third content image from at least one of the first content image or the second content image;
- displaying a second menu to the user interface of the head-mounted display;
- receiving a second selection from the second menu;
- and
- displaying, based at least in part on the second selection, one or more of the first content image, the second content image, and the third content image to one or more of the head-mounted display and the flat-screen display.
An image generation method comprising:
- generating a first content image in a three-dimensional virtual reality space to be displayed on a head-mounted display;
- generating a second content image to be displayed on a flat-screen display;
- displaying a first menu to a user interface of the head-mounted display;
- receiving a first selection from the first menu;
- based at least in part of the received selection, generating a third content image from at least one of the first content image or the second content image;
- displaying a second menu to the user interface of the head-mounted display;
- receiving a second selection from the second menu;
- and
- displaying, based at least in part on the second selection, one or more of the first
- content image, the second content image, and the third content image to one or more of the head-mounted display and the flat-screen display.
A computer program product embodied in a non-transitory recording medium, including instructions configured to cause at least one processor to perform operations, comprising:
- generate a first content image in a three-dimensional virtual reality space to be displayed on a head-mounted display;
- generate a second content image to be displayed on a flat-screen display;
- display a first menu to a user interface of the head-mounted display;
- receive a first selection from the first menu;
- based at least in part of the received selection, generate a third content image from at least one of the first content image or the second content image;
- display a second menu to the user interface of the head-mounted display;
- receive a second selection from the second menu;
- and
- display, based at least in part on the second selection, one or more of the first
- content image, the second content image, and the third content image to one or more of the head-mounted display and the flat-screen display.
