Abstract
An information processing system for processing three-dimensional information on an object existing actually in a three-dimensional space for detecting a collision between a space having an optional configuration and size in the three-dimensional space and the object. In the information processing system, a virtual space setting section sets a virtual space in the three-dimensional space, and a three-dimensional information creating section creates three-dimensional information on the object such as an intruder. A decision is made, on the basis of the three-dimensional information on the object, on whether or not the collision between the intruder and the virtual space occurs.
Claims31
An information processing system for processing three-dimensional information on an object existing in a three-dimensional space, comprising:
- setting means for setting a predetermined virtual space in said three-dimensional space;
- creating means for creating said three-dimensional information on said object;
- and
- judging means for making a decision, on the basis of said three-dimensional information on said ;object, on whether or not a collision between said object and said virtual space occurs,
- wherein said setting means sets, as said virtual space, a space having a predetermined configuration formed to enclose a predetermined space in said three-dimensional space and a predetermined width.
An information processing method of processing three-dimensional information on an object existing in a three-dimensional space, said method comprising:
- a setting step of setting a predetermined virtual space in said three-dimensional space;
- a creating step of creating three-dimensional information on said object;
- and
- a judging step of making a decision, on the basis of said three-dimensional information on said object, as to whether or not a collision between said object and said virtual space occurs,
- wherein, in said setting step, a space having a predetermined configuration formed to enclose a predetermined space in said three-dimensional space and a predetermined width is set as said virtual space.
A supply medium for supplying control information which causes an information processing system to process three-dimensional information on an object existing in a three-dimensional space, said medium supplying:
- setting instruction for setting a predetermining virtual space in said three-dimensional space;
- a creating instruction for creating three-dimensional information on said object;
- and
- a judging instruction for making a decision, on the basis of said three-dimensional information on said object, as to whether or not a collision between said object and said virtual space occurs.
- wherein, by said setting instructions, a space having a predetermined configuration formed to enclose a predetermined space in said three-dimensional space and a predetermined width is set as said virtual space.
