[0038] figure 1 A typical configuration of an information processing system 1 as one embodiment of the present invention is shown. The information processing system 1 includes an information processing apparatus 10, a head-mounted display device (HMD) 100 worn on the user's head, an input device 6 operated by the user with fingertips, an imaging device for imaging the user wearing the HMD 100 7 and an output device 4 for displaying images.

[0039] In this embodiment, an information processing apparatus 10 includes a processing device 12 and an output control device 14 . The processing device 12 is a terminal device that executes various applications including games in response to operation information from the input device 6 operated by the user. The processing device 12 and the input device 6 may be connected to each other by cables or by known wireless communication techniques. The output control device 14 is a processing unit that outputs image data to the HMD 100 . Th...

[0117] An information processing apparatus 10 as a second embodiment of the present invention differs from the first embodiment in that a future posture is predicted when a reference image is generated. The following paragraphs will emphasize what makes the second embodiment different from the first embodiment, omitting redundant explanation where appropriate. In the ensuing description, what is referred to as a center scan line may not be a scan line exactly at the center of the screen, and may be a scan line near the center.

[0118] When at the first point in time (for example, Figure 11 In T1) when the detection result of the motion detection part 30 is obtained, the prediction part 326 identifies the time point when the image based on the detection result is displayed on the central scanning line of the display panel 130 (hereinafter, the identified time point is referred to as "first object point in time"). Based on the detection result of the motion detection section...

[0134] As with the second embodiment, the third embodiment of the present invention predicts the future pose when the reference image is generated. However, in the reprojection process, the third embodiment uses a method different from that of the second embodiment to identify corresponding pixels.

[0135] The reference image generation section 324 and prediction section 326 in the third embodiment are configured the same as those in the second embodiment. That is, when at the first time point (for example, Figure 11 In T1) when the detection result of the motion detection part 30 is obtained, the prediction part 326 predicts the first target time point, wherein the image based on the detection result at the first target time point is displayed on the central scanning line of the display panel 130. Based on the detection result of the motion detection section 30 at the first time point, the prediction section 326 predicts the posture of the HMD 100 at the first target time ...

Abstract

An information processing device 10 generates reference images that include the first posture of the headset display (HMD) 100 at the first point of view (HMD) 100.Based on the difference between the second posture of HMD 100 recognized at the first position and the second time after the first time, the information processing device 10 should display the display image from the HMD 100 from the reference image generation.When generating a display image, the display time of a specific pixel display in the display image displayed from the HMD 100 image is lagging behind.The amount of changes between the positions of the corresponding pixels.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to techniques for generating images to be displayed on head-mounted displays. Background technique [0002] A head-mounted display (hereinafter also referred to as an HMD) is worn on a user's head to provide a virtual reality (VR) world to the user. In recent years, there have been applications that allow users to play video games while watching a screen displayed on an HMD. Existing non-portable display devices, such as televisions, allow users to view an extended field of view outside the range of the screen. This may prevent the user from concentrating on the screen or gaining the feeling of being immersed in the game in progress. In contrast, wearing an HMD enables users to experience a higher sense of immersion in a virtual world, thereby enhancing the entertainment of video games. The feeling of immersion in the visual world is further enhanced if the HMD is configured with head tracking functionality that updates...
