AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing mixed reality (MR) technologies fail to effectively hide objects obstructing the user's line of sight without increasing image processing load, leading to incomplete viewing experiences.

Method used

An information processing device that registers and deletes objects based on user input, using gaze position to determine the field of view and perform targeted image processing to make unnecessary objects invisible within the user's field of view.

Benefits of technology

The solution allows objects outside the user's necessary field of view to be hidden while reducing image processing load, ensuring a clear and immersive MR experience.

Abstract

To provide an information processing apparatus, a control method of the information processing apparatus, and a program capable of making an object unnecessary for user's appreciation invisible from the user while suppressing a load of image processing.SOLUTION: An HMD100 that generates an MR image includes an object registering unit 105 that registers an object to be viewed and an object to be deleted in a viewing target list and a deletion target list in accordance with inputs instructing to register the object to be viewed and the object to be deleted, a line-of-sight position calculation unit 106 that acquires the line-of-sight position of an HMD user 400, a line-of-sight position setting unit 107 that sets an effective visual field region 401 of the HMD user 400 in accordance with the line-of-sight position of the HMD user 400, and a control unit that performs image processing for making the object to be deleted invisible to the HMD user 400 in the MR image. And a processing operation part 109 for performing processing to the inside of the effective visual field area 401 of the HMD user 400 including the object of the viewing object.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
