Abstract

To provide an information processing apparatus and an information processing method. Provided is an information processing apparatus that includes a recognition section and an output control section. The recognition section recognizes background content displayed in a background of an aquarium. The output control section controls an output of light into an interior of the aquarium that acts as a foreground, on the basis of a result of recognizing the background content.

Claims (51)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a recognition section configured to recognize background content displayed in a background of an aquarium; and

an output control section configured to:

control an output of light into an interior of the aquarium that acts as a foreground, based on a result of recognition of the background content; and

control an output of the background content based on the interior of the aquarium.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein,

the recognition section is further configured to recognize color information about the background content, and

the output control section is configured to control the output of light further based on the color information about the background content.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein

the output control section is further configured to control the output of light such that a color included in the background content and a color of the interior of the aquarium are similar.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein

the color information about the background content includes information about at least one of a brightness, a hue, or a contrast of the background content.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the recognition section is further configured to recognize light source information about the background content, and

the output control section is configured to control the output of light further based on the light source information.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein

the light source information includes information about a light source direction in the background content, and

the output control section is configured to control the output of light such that a shadow in the interior of the aquarium and the light source direction are consistent.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein

the light source information includes information about a color of a light source in the background content, and

the output control section is configured to control the output of light such that a color of the interior of the aquarium and the color of the light source are consistent.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the recognition section is further configured to recognize information about a weather in the background content, and

the output control section is configured to control the output of light further based on the information about the weather.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the recognition section is further configured to recognize the interior of the aquarium, and

the output control section is configured to control the output of the background content further based on a result of recognition of the interior of the aquarium.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the recognition section is further configured to recognize information about a first object in the interior of the aquarium, and

the output control section is configured to control the output of the background content further based on the information about the first object.

11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein

the output control section is further configured to cause the background content, that includes a second object similar to the first object, to be output based on the information about the first object.

12. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the recognition section is further configured to recognize illumination information about the interior of the aquarium, and

the output control section is configured to control the output of the background content further based on the illumination information.

13. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the output control section is further configured to cause an image, obtained based on imaging of the interior of the aquarium, to be output as the background content.

14. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the output control section is further configured to control the output of light by an illumination apparatus.

15. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the output control section is further configured to control the output of light by a projector.

16. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the output control section is further configured to control the output of light to display a virtual object in the interior of the aquarium.

17. An information processing method comprising:

recognizing background content displayed in a background of an aquarium;

controlling an output of light into an interior of the aquarium that acts as a foreground, based on a result of recognition of the background content; and

controlling an output of the background content based on the interior of the aquarium.

18. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon, computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to execute operations, the operations comprising:

recognizing background content displayed in a background of an aquarium; and

controlling an output of light into an interior of the aquarium that acts as a foreground, based on a result of recognition of the background content; and

controlling an output of the background content based on the interior of the aquarium.
