Abstract

An information processing system includes at least one processor configured to: acquire a captured image including an image of a thumb of a user; and switch an operation mode for a virtual object disposed within a virtual space to a specific mode for positionally changing the virtual object if the captured image includes an image of a nail of the thumb or an image that enables estimation of presence of the nail of the thumb.

Claims (21)

1 . An information processing system comprising:

a camera configured to capture images, including an image of a thumb of a user;

a display configured to display, to the user, a virtual space with a virtual object disposed within the virtual space; and

at least one processor configured to:

acquire the image of the thumb of the user; and

switch an operation mode for the virtual object to a specific mode for positionally changing the virtual object if the captured image includes an image of a nail of the thumb or an image that enables estimation of presence of the nail of the thumb.

2 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the specific mode comprises a movement mode for moving the virtual object or a rotation mode for rotating the virtual object.

3 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to recognize a virtual object at least partially existing within a specific area as a target virtual object to be positionally changed, the specific area serving as an area within the virtual space corresponding to an area at a pulp side of the thumb.

4 . The information processing system according to claim 3 , wherein the specific area comprises an area that is in contact with a plane within the virtual space corresponding to a pulp surface of the thumb.

5 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor proceeds with the specific mode until a predetermined motion is detected after the operation mode is switched to the specific mode even if the captured image does not include the image of the nail of the thumb or the image that enables the estimation of the presence of the nail of the thumb.

6 . The information processing system according to claim 5 , wherein the predetermined motion comprises a motion for releasing the positionally-changed virtual object.

7 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:

controlling a camera to capture images, including an image of a thumb of a user;

controlling a display to display, to the user, a virtual space with a virtual object disposed within the virtual space;

acquiring, with at least one processor associated with the computer, the image of the thumb of the user; and

switching, with the at least one processor, an operation mode for the virtual object to a specific mode for positionally changing the virtual object if the captured image includes an image of a nail of the thumb or an image that enables estimation of presence of the nail of the thumb.

8 . A method of display processing comprising:

controlling a camera to capture images, including an image of a thumb of a user;

controlling a display to display, to the user, a virtual space with a virtual object disposed within the virtual space;

acquiring, with at least one processor, the image of the thumb of the user; and

switching, with the at least one processor, an operation mode for the virtual object to a specific mode for positionally changing the virtual object if the captured image includes an image of a nail of the thumb or an image that enables estimation of presence of the nail of the thumb.
