Abstract
An information processing apparatus acquires a first image obtained by imaging a real space. The information processing apparatus generates a display image by merging the first image into a second image representing a virtual space to be presented to a user wearing a head-mounted display (HMD), the display image being configured such that the first image has an inconspicuous border. The information processing apparatus displays the generated display image on the HMD.
Claims9
An information processing system comprising:
- an acquisition section configured to acquire a first image obtained by imaging an event taking place in a real space;
- a generation section configured to generate a display image by merging the first image acquired by the acquisition section, into a second image representing a virtual space that imitates a venue where the event takes place, as a virtual space to be presented to a user wearing a head-mounted display, the display image being configured such that the first image has an inconspicuous border;
- and
- an output section configured to display the display image generated by the generation section, on the head-mounted display.
An information processing method causing a computer to perform:
- acquiring a first image obtained by imaging an event taking place in a real space;
- generating a display image by merging the first image into a second image representing a virtual space that imitates a venue where the event takes place, as a virtual space to be presented to a user wearing a head-mounted display, the display image being configured such that the first image has an inconspicuous border;
- and
- displaying the display image on the head-mounted display.
A non-transitory, computer readable storage medium containing a computer program, which when executed by a computer, causes the computer to perform an information processing method by carrying out actions, comprising:
- acquiring a first image obtained by imaging an event taking place in a real space;
- generating a display image by merging the first image into a second image representing a virtual space that imitates a venue where the event takes place, as a virtual space to be presented to a user wearing a head-mounted display, the display image being configured such that the first image has an inconspicuous border;
- and
- displaying the display image on the head-mounted display.
