Abstract
The present technology relates to an information processing device, an information processing method, and a program that can more exactly indicate a position outside a display region. An outside-display-region-position designation unit designates a position outside a display region of an image display unit, and a drawing/sound control unit controls output of a sound of an AR object from a sound output unit while moving the AR objet toward the designated position. The present technology can be applied to a wearable computer, for example, a glasses-type device having a pair of image display units for a left eye and a right eye.
Claims12
An information processing device, comprising:
- an image display screen configured to display an image;
- a speaker configured to output sound;
- and
- a central processing unit (CPU) configured to:
- designate a position outside a display region of the image display screen;
- and
- control output of sound of an augmented reality (AR) object based on:
- an angle between a first position of the display region and a second position of the AR object with a third position of a user as the angle's vertex, and
- movement of the AR object towards the designated position.
An information processing method, comprising:
- in an information processing device:
- designating a position outside a display region of an image display screen;
- and
- controlling output of sound of an augmented reality (AR) object from a speaker based on:
- an angle between a first position of the display region and a second position of the AR object with a third position of a user as the angle's vertex, and
- movement of the AR object toward the designated position.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon, computer-executable instructions for causing an information processing apparatus to execute operations, the operations comprising:
- designating a position outside a display region of an image display screen;
- and
- controlling output of sound of an augmented reality (AR) object from a speaker based on:
- an angle between a first position of the display region and a second position of the AR object with a third position of a user as the angle's vertex, and
- movement of the AR object toward the designated position.
