Headset Information Processing Apparatus for Intuitive Interaction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing video image display apparatuses worn on the head, such as head-mounted displays and smart glasses, lack intuitive interaction capabilities, as users struggle to interact with video images in a natural and immersive manner.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus connected to a video image display apparatus that acquires the relative position of a user's body parts and displays video images indicating the position of objects in a virtual space, allowing for intuitive interactions by aligning virtual objects with real-time user movements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If video image display apparatuses are worn on the head to provide immersive viewing, then the realism and immersion of video images are improved, but the intuitiveness of user interaction with video images deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system captures images of the user's body parts using imaging devices, detects their positions, and feeds back this information by displaying virtual objects corresponding to these body parts in the video image. This closed-loop feedback mechanism enables intuitive interaction as the user's natural movements are immediately reflected in the virtual environment, resolving the contradiction between immersion and interaction intuitiveness
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces body parts as intermediaries between the user and the virtual environment. By detecting and visualizing body parts (hands, feet, etc.) as virtual objects in the video image, the system creates a natural mediation layer that translates physical movements into intuitive virtual interactions, maintaining both immersion and ease of operation

AI summary
An information processing apparatus is provided that allows a user to execute, when a video image is displayed on a video image display apparatus worn on the head of the user, interactions with video images more intuitively. An information processing apparatus 10, connected to a video image display apparatus 40 worn on the head of a user, acquires information of a relative position of at least a part of the body of the user with reference to a position of the video image display apparatus 40 and displays, on the video image display apparatus 40, a video image indicative of a situation in which an object corresponding to the part is arranged at a position in a virtual space, the position being determined in accordance with the acquired relative position.
