VR Image Display Control for Consistent Live-View and Playback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional VR image display systems require additional operations for switching between live-view and playback display methods, leading to inconvenience for users who cannot immediately check captured images in the same VR format as they were observed during imaging.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that allows users to select a display method for live-view images, which is then applied to both live-view and captured images, ensuring consistent VR display during and after imaging.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the display method is switched between live-view and playback modes, then the captured image can be displayed in a different format, but additional user operations are required which reduces ease of operation
Solution Approach 1:
The system stores the display method selected during live-view imaging as predetermined information before playback occurs. When playback is initiated, the stored display method information is automatically applied, eliminating the need for users to re-select or switch display methods during playback.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically applies the display method that was selected during live-view imaging to the playback of captured images. This self-service mechanism maintains consistency between imaging and playback display methods without requiring additional user intervention or manual switching operations.
2Adaptability or versatility
If VR display is selected during imaging but non-VR display is used during playback, then the captured image format can be changed, but the user cannot immediately check the captured image in the same VR format as observed during imaging
Solution Approach 1:
The display method information (including VR/non-VR settings) is stored as predetermined information during live-view imaging. This predetermined information is then automatically applied during playback, ensuring that the captured image is displayed in the same VR format that the user observed during imaging, thereby maintaining visual observation consistency.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple display methods are available for selection, then the system provides adaptability to different viewing needs, but the device complexity increases due to additional control processing
Solution Approach 1:
The system resolves control processing complexity by storing the display method selection as predetermined information during live-view imaging. This pre-stored information is automatically retrieved and applied during playback, eliminating the need for complex real-time decision-making or additional control processing during playback operations.

AI summary
According to an aspect of the present disclosure, an information processing apparatus includes a processor and a memory storing a program which, when executed by the processor, causes the information processing apparatus to execute determination processing to determine a first display method to be used in displaying a live-view image on a display unit by causing a user to perform selection from among a plurality of display methods including a distortion-reduce display method, and execute control processing to perform control to display the live-view image on the display unit by the first display method, and in a case where an imaging instruction is issued while the live-view image is displayed on the display unit by first display method, control to display a captured image recorded in a recording unit on the display unit based on the imaging instruction by the first display method.
