determine an un-explored area in the acquired image and an explored area in the acquired image based on the environment information; and
control display of a first virtual indication related to the un-explored area superimposed on the real space.
2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the circuitry is further configured to superimpose the first virtual indication on the un-explored area.
3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the circuitry is further configured to update the first virtual indication based on the environment information.
4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to display a second virtual indication that includes a boundary between the un-explored area and the explored area.
5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to:
control display of the acquired image; and
execute an augmented reality (AR) process to control display of a virtual object overlaid on the displayed image.
6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the information processing apparatus operates in one of a first operation mode or a second operation mode.
7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to control the display of the first virtual indication in the second operation mode.
8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein, in the second operation mode, the circuitry is further configured to control the display of the first virtual indication to navigate a user to capture images of the un-explored area.
9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein, in the first operation mode, the circuitry is further configured to control the display of the first virtual indication to navigate a user to stabilize the recognition of the environment information.
