Abstract:
Se proporciona un aparato generador de imágenes que genera y produce una imagen panorámica segmentando una superficie de una esfera, sobre el cual se proyecta una escena vista desde un punto de observación, sobre al menos un rango seleccionado en ocho áreas o regiones de segmentos a lo largo de tres planos que son mutuamente ortogonales en el centro de la esfera, y que convierten y posicionan sobre un plano al menos una de las regiones de segmentos que incluyen el rango en que se proyecta la vista, tal que los números de pixeles que corresponden a latitudes equivalentes mutuamente disminuyen a latitudes más altas.
Abstract:
Provided is an image generating device which generates and outputs a panoramic image by segmenting a surface of a sphere, whereon a view which is seen from an observation point is projected upon at least a select range, into eight segment regions along three planes which are mutually orthogonal at the center of the sphere, and converting and positioning upon a plane at least one of the segment regions which includes the range in which the view is projected, such that the numbers of pixels corresponding to mutually equivalent latitudes decrease the higher the latitude.

Abstract:
A panorama image processing unit 750 generates a wide viewing angle image like a panorama image which is seen from a given point of view. An image conversion unit 780 converts the generated wide viewing angle image into an image of a transmission format in which the angular resolution which is a number of pixels per unit angle centered at the point of view is adjusted in response to a ray direction toward the point of view. An image provision unit 770 transmits the image in the transmission format in which the angular resolution is adjusted to a head-mounted display unit 100. The head-mounted display unit 100 converts the received image so as to conform the image to an optical characteristic of a device and displays the image on the device.
Abstract:
A position and rotation information acquisition unit 730 acquires information relating to a position and a rotation of the head of a user who wears a head-mounted display unit 100. A coordinate transformation unit 740 and a panorama image processing unit 750 generate an image to be displayed on the head-mounted display unit using the information relating to the position and the rotation acquired at a certain point of time by the position and rotation information acquisition unit 730. A correction processing unit 780 corrects the generated image using updated information relating to the position and the rotation at a different point of time.
Abstract:
The object of the present invention is to realize a virtual image distance changing device and so on capable of presenting a target, an object to be viewed by a user, at a virtual image distance that corresponds to an actual depth of the target. The virtual image distance changing device includes a display panel, optics, depth information acquisition means, and distance changing means. The display panel displays an image that corresponds to image information. The optics guides the image displayed on the display panel to user's eyes and causes the user to view a virtual image that corresponds to the image. The depth information acquisition means acquires depth information that represents the depth of the target to be viewed, the object displayed on the display panel to be viewed by the user. The distance changing means changes a virtual image distance that represents a distance at which the virtual image is viewed by the user corresponding to the depth information.
