Metaverse Shooting Composition Control Using Shared Position Marks
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies struggle to accurately transmit the shooting composition intended by a user in a metaverse space to an avatar, leading to discrepancies between the intended and actual shot image due to limitations in controlling the avatar's position and pose.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus and method that allows a shooting user to set a target object user, determine their standing position and line-of-sight, and display marks and live views in the metaverse space to ensure accurate composition, using a head-mounted display (HMD) with integrated sensors and processors to manage these settings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the avatar's body motion is reflected as-is from the object user, then the expressiveness of the shooting is improved, but the composition accuracy deteriorates because the shooting user's intention is not well transmitted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a camera as an intermediary device between the shooting user and the object user. The camera captures the intended composition from the shooting user's perspective, and this captured image is then used to guide the object user's avatar positioning. This mediator enables accurate transmission of composition intentions while maintaining natural avatar expressions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a copy of the shooting user's intended composition by capturing an image with a camera. This captured image serves as a reference model that is then overlaid on the display, allowing the object user to replicate the exact composition without needing to understand complex spatial coordinates or positioning instructions.
2Manufacturing precision
If the shooting user sets the standing position and line-of-sight of the avatar, then the composition accuracy is improved, but the device complexity increases due to multiple settings and controls
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically captures the shooting user's intended composition using a camera without requiring manual adjustment of multiple parameters. The camera naturally records the scene from the shooting user's perspective, eliminating the need for complex settings while accurately preserving the intended composition.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical adjustment of avatar position and orientation with an automated image-based system. Instead of requiring the shooting user to manipulate controls for positioning, the system uses a camera to capture the scene and automatically translates it into avatar positioning instructions.
3Manufacturing precision
If a camera is used to capture the shooting composition, then the composition transmission accuracy is improved, but the loss of information increases because the object user cannot see the mark on the display
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides visual feedback by overlaying the captured image containing the mark directly on the display that the object user can see. This feedback loop allows the object user to immediately verify the intended composition and adjust their avatar positioning accordingly, ensuring both accuracy and visibility.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus that can reliably transmit an instruction about a composition of shooting in a metaverse space from a shooting user to an object user. The information processing apparatus includes a memory device that stores a set of instructions, and at least one processor that executes the set of instructions to allow a shooting user to set a target object user to be a target of a composition instruction from among one or more object user in shooting in a metaverse space, allow the shooting user to set a standing position of an avatar of the target object user in the metaverse space, and display a first mark at the standing position in the metaverse space that is visible to the shooting user and the target object user on their respective display units so as not to be shot in a shot image in the metaverse space.
