Abstract
A terminal apparatus provides a highly convenient user interface. The terminal apparatus includes a designated direction detection unit and a display control unit. The designated direction detection unit detects a designated direction, which is a direction in which the terminal apparatus is directed, with respect to a reference direction as a reference of the direction of the terminal apparatus on the basis of a signal from a sensor that outputs a signal indicating the attitude of the terminal apparatus. The display control unit displays an image, in which the direction in which the object is directed with respect to the reference direction is maintained and the object is disposed at the end of a direction corresponding to the designated direction, on a display device.
Claims14
A terminal apparatus that displays an image of an object, comprising a processor configured to:
- detect a designated direction, which is a direction in which the terminal apparatus is directed, with respect to a reference direction as a reference of a direction of the terminal apparatus, based on a signal from a sensor that outputs a signal indicating an attitude of the terminal apparatus;
- receive physical information indicating physical characteristics of an audience member;
- and
- display an image on a display device based on a position of a viewpoint of the audience member while seated in one of a plurality of seats arranged around the object, the position being derived from a height included in the physical information, in which a direction in which the object is directed with respect to the reference direction is maintained and the object is disposed at an end of a direction corresponding to the designated direction.
A display method executed by a terminal apparatus that displays an image of an object, the method comprising:
- detecting a designated direction, which is a direction in which the terminal apparatus is directed, with respect to a reference direction as a reference of a direction of the terminal apparatus on based on a signal from a sensor, which outputs a signal indicating an attitude of the terminal apparatus;
- receiving physical information indicating physical characteristics of an audience member;
- and
- displaying an image based on a position of a viewpoint of the audience while seated in one of a plurality of seats arranged around the object, the position being derived from a height included in the physical information, in which the direction in which the object is directed with respect to the reference direction is maintained and the object is disposed at an end of a direction corresponding to the designated direction, on a display device by means of the terminal apparatus.
A non-transitory computer readable medium that records a program causing a computer to function as a terminal apparatus that displays an image of an object, the program causing the computer to perform:
- detecting a designated direction, which is a direction in which the terminal apparatus is directed, with respect to a reference direction as a reference of a direction of the terminal apparatus based on a signal from a sensor that outputs a signal indicating an attitude of the terminal apparatus;
- receiving physical information indicating physical characteristics of an audience member;
- and
- displaying an image on a display device based on a position of a viewpoint of the audience member while seated in one of a plurality of seats arranged around the object, the position being derived from a height included in the physical information, in which the direction in which the object is directed with respect to the reference direction is maintained and the object is disposed at an end of a direction corresponding to the designated direction.
A display system, comprising:
- a server;
- and
- a terminal apparatus,
- wherein the server includes:
- a server memory that holds, for each of a plurality of seats arranged around an object, a viewing direction as a direction when the object is viewed from each seat in association with a range of physical information indicating physical characteristics of an audience member;
- and
- a server processor configured to, when the physical information is received from the terminal apparatus, extract the viewing direction for each of the seats associated with the range, in which the received physical information is included, from the server memory and transmit the viewing direction to the terminal apparatus, and
- the terminal apparatus includes:
- a terminal memory that holds the viewing direction for each of the seats;
- and
- a terminal processor configured to:
- transmit to the server the physical information received from a user, and to receive the viewing direction for each of the seats corresponding to the physical information, which has been transmitted from the terminal, from the server and hold the received viewing direction in the terminal memory;
- detect a designated direction, which is a direction in which the terminal apparatus is directed, with respect to a reference direction as a reference of a direction of the terminal apparatus based on a signal from a sensor that outputs a signal indicating an attitude of the terminal apparatus;
- receive physical information indicating physical characteristics of an audience member;
- and
- extract the viewing direction closest to the designated direction from the terminal memory and display an image on a display device based on a position of a viewpoint of the audience member while seated, the position being derived from a height included in the physical information, in which the direction in which the object is directed with respect to the reference direction is maintained and the object is disposed at an end of the extracted viewing direction.
