Abstract
The information processing apparatus includes: one or more processors functioning by executing instructions stored in one or more memories as the following units: a setting unit configured to set a parameter with which a display condition of additional information that is displayed in a virtual viewpoint image, identification information indicating the additional information, and virtual viewpoint information on a virtual viewpoint image that is generated are associated; and an output unit configured to output a parameter that is set by the setting unit.
Claims9
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- one or more memories storing instructions;
- and
- one or more processors executing the instructions to:
- receive a user operation via a user interface;
- specify, based on the received user operation, identification information that identifies a group including a plurality of virtual objects and virtual viewpoint information on a virtual viewpoint image;
- and
- output, to a generation apparatus, a first parameter and a second parameter sequentially at different times in a predetermined order for causing the generation apparatus to switch the plurality of virtual objects to be displayed in the virtual viewpoint image,
- wherein the first parameter includes (i) the virtual viewpoint information, (ii) first data for designating a first virtual object included in the plurality of virtual objects, and (iii) the identification information, and
- wherein the second parameter includes (i) the virtual viewpoint information, (ii) second data for designating a second virtual object different from the first virtual object and included in the plurality of virtual objects, and (iii) the identification information.
