Abstract
An apparatus, method, and computer-readable storage medium for processing image data are provided. The apparatus includes an output unit configured to project a first image on a projection surface, a detection unit configured to detect movement of the apparatus, and a processor configured to change the first image to a second image based on the detected movement.
Claims18
An apparatus comprising:
- circuitry configured to
- detect movement of the apparatus based on a sensor,
- control projection of an image on a projection surface based on the detected movement of the apparatus,
- detect a distance between the apparatus and the projection surface,
- vary a number of objects included in the image projected on the projection surface based on the detected distance between the apparatus and the projection surface, and
- execute a function associated with an object displayed in the projected image when the varied number of objects is less than or equal to a predetermined value.
A method for processing image data, implemented via at least one processor having circuitry, the method comprising:
- detecting movement of an apparatus based on a sensor,
- controlling projection of an image on a projection surface based on the detected movement of the apparatus,
- detecting a distance between the apparatus and the projection surface,
- varying a number of objects included in the image projected on the projection surface based on the detected distance between the apparatus and the projection surface, and
- executing a function associated with an object displayed in the projected image when the varied number of objects is less than or equal to a predetermined value.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having embodied thereon a computer program, which when executed by a computer having circuitry, causes the computer to execute a method, the method comprising:
- detecting movement of an apparatus based on a sensor,
- controlling projection of an image on a projection surface based on the detected movement of the apparatus,
- detecting a distance between the apparatus and the projection surface,
- varying a number of objects included in the image projected on the projection surface based on the detected distance between the apparatus and the projection surface, and
- executing a function associated with an object displayed in the projected image when the varied number of objects is less than or equal to a predetermined value.
