Abstract

Provided is a technique in which, in arranging a virtual object with respect to a real space, a user has less trouble, usability is good, and the object is suitably placeable. A head mounted display apparatus (HMD apparatus) according to one embodiment has a function of arranging and displaying the virtual object in a space based on an operation by a user. The HMD apparatus displays, on a display surface, a grid including a plurality of points for supporting an operation of the virtual object, and disposes and displays, according to an operation includes designation of a target virtual object and designation of a first point at an arrangement destination, the target virtual object at the position of the first point.

Claims26

Dependent claims

A head mounted display apparatus comprising:

a display;
a communication interface configured to communicate with an operation tool used by a user of the head mounted display apparatus;
a sensor configured to detect a direction of the head mounted display apparatus;
and
a processor,
wherein the processor is configured to:
display a plurality of regions for arranging a virtual object on the display in response to a moving operation of the virtual object by the operation tool via the communication interface;
arrange to display the virtual object in one of the plurality of regions in response to an arrangement instruction for arranging the virtual object in the one of the plurality of regions by the operation tool via the communication interface;
and
change the displayed virtual object from a state in which the virtual object is displayed being fixed to a predetermined position corresponding to a real space to a state in which the virtual object is displayed so as to be aligned with a front-face direction of the head mounted display apparatus, based on the direction of the head mounted display apparatus detected by the sensor, in response to an operation by the operation tool via the communication interface.
