Abstract
An object display device includes a virtual object process unit that processes an object based on imaging information that an imaging unit references upon acquisition of an image in real space, an image synthesis unit that superimposes the processed object on the image in real space, and a display unit that displays a superimposed image. Accordingly, the feature of the image in real space is reflected in the object superimposed. Thus, a sense of incongruity upon superimposing and displaying the object on the image in real space is reduced.
Claims7
An object display device that superimposes and displays an object on an image in real space, the object display device comprising:
- an object information acquiring unit configured to acquire object information relating to the object to be displayed;
- an imaging unit configured to acquire the image in real space;
- an imaging information acquiring unit configured to acquire imaging information that the imaging unit references upon acquisition of the image in real space;
- an object process unit configured to process, based on the imaging information acquired by the imaging information acquiring unit, the object acquired by the object information acquiring unit;
- an image synthesizing unit configured to generate an image in which the object processed by the object process unit is superimposed on the image in real space acquired by the imaging unit;
- and
- a display unit configured to display the image generated by the image synthesizing unit.
An object display method performed by an object display device that superimposes and displays an object on an image in real space, the object display method comprising:
- an object information acquisition step of acquiring object information relating to the object to be displayed;
- an imaging step of acquiring the image in real space;
- an imaging information acquisition step of acquiring imaging information that is referenced upon acquisition of the image in real space in the imaging step;
- an object process step of processing, based on the imaging information acquired in the imaging information acquisition step, the object acquired in the object information acquisition step;
- an image synthesis step of generating an image in which the object processed in the object process step is superimposed on the image in real space acquired in the imaging step;
- and
- a display step of displaying the image generated in the image synthesis step.
A non-transitory computer readable medium including computer executable instructions for causing a computer to function as an object display device that superimposes and displays an object on an image in real space, causing the computer to implement:
- an object information acquisition function of acquiring object information relating to the object to be displayed;
- an imaging function of acquiring the image in real space;
- an imaging information acquisition function of acquiring imaging information that the imaging function references upon acquisition of the image in real space;
- an object process function of processing, based on the imaging information acquired with the imaging information acquisition function, the object acquired with the object information acquisition function;
- an image synthesis function of generating an image in which the object processed with the object process function is superimposed on the image in real space acquired with the imaging function;
- and
- a display function of displaying the image generated with the image synthesis function.
