Abstract
Provided is an information processing apparatus including an image acquisition unit for acquiring a real space image including an image of another apparatus, a coordinate system generation unit for generating a spatial coordinate system of the real space image acquired by the image acquisition unit, and a transmission unit for transmitting spatial information constituting the spatial coordinate system generated by the coordinate system generation unit to the other apparatus sharing the spatial coordinate system.
Claims9
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- circuitry configured to
- acquire a real space image;
- acquire position information of another apparatus in a spatial coordinate system of the another apparatus;
- generate a spatial coordinate system of the real space image;
- and
- control transmitting spatial information for determining (i) a distance of the information processing apparatus to the another information processing apparatus or a scale of a spatial coordinate system shared by the information processing apparatus and the another apparatus, (ii) an angle of the spatial coordinate system of the real space image in relation to the spatial coordinate system of the another apparatus, and (iii) identification and position information of virtual information displayed by the information processing apparatus.

An information processing system comprising:
- a first apparatus configured to
- acquire a real space image;
- acquire position information of a second apparatus in a spatial coordinate system of a second apparatus;
- generate a spatial coordinate system of the real space image;
- and
- control transmitting spatial information for determining (i) a distance of the information processing apparatus to the second information processing apparatus or a scale of a spatial coordinate system shared by the information processing apparatus and the second apparatus, (ii) an angle of the spatial coordinate system of the real space image in relation to the spatial coordinate system of the second apparatus, and (iii) identification and position information of virtual information displayed by the information processing apparatus;
- and
- the second apparatus configured to
- acquire the spatial information transmitted by the first apparatus;
- and
- superimpose the virtual information on the shared spatial coordinate system based on the spatial information acquired from the first apparatus.
A server comprising:
- circuitry configured to
- acquire, from a first apparatus, a real space image and position information of a second apparatus in a spatial coordinate system of the second apparatus;
- generate a spatial coordinate system of the real space image;
- and
- control transmitting spatial information for determining (i) a distance of the first apparatus to the second apparatus or a scale of a spatial coordinate system shared by the first apparatus and the second apparatus, (ii) an angle of the spatial coordinate system of the real space image in relation to the spatial coordinate system of the second apparatus, and (iii) identification and position information of virtual information displayed by the first apparatus.
