Abstract

Provided is a display device configured to display a video, and an information processing terminal device configured to control transmission of a video to the display device. When a video-reproducing device detects a jumping movement of a user, the video-reproducing device determines that an instruction is given to move a viewpoint position to a place on which a target mark is displayed, and transmits a request for stopping transmission to a video-providing device as a transmission source of a currently displayed video, and transmits a request for starting transmission to a video-providing device as a moving destination. When transmission of a video from the video-providing device as the moving destination is started, the movement in viewpoint is achieved, and a video captured from a new viewpoint position is allowed to be viewed on the video-reproducing device.

Claims (21)

1. A display device comprising:

a spherical display unit;

a reception unit configured to receive an image from an external device;

a sensor unit configured to measure a line of sight, a head position, or a posture of a user;

a control unit, wherein when a first image received from a first external device is displayed on the display unit, the control unit receives a second image from a second external device included in the first image, on the basis of at least one of a line of sight, a head position, and a posture of a user measured by the sensor unit, and the control unit causes the display unit to display the second image; and

a transmission unit configured to transmit information to the external device,

wherein the control unit transmits information measured by the sensor unit to the second device to display the second image.

2. A display device comprising:

a spherical display unit;

a reception unit configured to receive an image from an external device;

a sensor unit configured to measure a line of sight, a head position, or a posture of a user;

a control unit, wherein when a first image received from a first external device is displayed on the display unit, the control unit receives a second image from a second external device included in the first image, on the basis of at least one of a line of sight, a head position, and a posture of a user measured by the sensor unit, and the control unit causes the display unit to display the second image; and

a sound collection unit,

wherein the control unit transmits audios collected by the sound collection unit to the external device.

3. A display device comprising:

a spherical display unit;

a reception unit configured to receive an image from an external device;

a sensor unit configured to measure a line of sight, a head position, or a posture of a user;

a control unit, wherein when a first image received from a first external device is displayed on the display unit, the control unit receives a second image from a second external device included in the first image, on the basis of at least one of a line of sight, a head position, and a posture of a user measured by the sensor unit, and the control unit causes the display unit to display the second image; and

a measurement unit configured to measure pressure acting between a user's foot and a ground surface with which the user's foot makes contact,

wherein the control unit switches the first image and the second image to control display according to a result of measurement by the measurement unit.
