Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to present, in perspective, movement of an image formed in air.

Claims (34)

1 . An information processing apparatus comprising:

a processor configured to present, in perspective, movement of an image formed in air.

2 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the image becomes larger as the image approaches a person who is observing the image and smaller as the image moves away from the person.

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

the movement of the image represents reception of a target by the person, and

the processor is configured to move the image toward the person while increasing size of the image.

4 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein a route of the movement of the image represents a relationship between a position at which the person who is observing the image is located and a position at which a sender corresponding to the image is located.

5 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein:

the reception represented by the movement of the image is reception of a target sent from the sender to the person, and

the image is presented in a first color when the sender is located in front of the person and in a second color when the sender is located behind the person.

6 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:

the movement of the image represents reception, and

the processor is configured to cancel the reception corresponding to the movement of the image in response to a motion that prevents the movement of the image being detected while the image is moving.

7 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein:

the movement of the image represents sending of a target by the person, and

the processor is configured to move the image away from the person while reducing size of the image.

8 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein a route of the movement of the image represents a relationship between a position at which the person is located and a position at which a recipient corresponding to the image is located.

9 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein:

the sending represented by the movement of the image is sending of the target from the person to the recipient, and

the image is presented in a first color when the recipient is located in front of the person and in a second color when the recipient is located behind the person.

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

the movement of the image represents sending, and

the processor is configured to cancel the sending represented by the movement of the image in response to a motion that prevents the movement of the image being detected while the image is moving.

11 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein volume of the image varies depending on an amount of communication data corresponding to the image.

12 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to:

present, in a case where a plurality of persons are present around a space in which the image is formed, the movement of the image to each of the plurality of persons in perspective for the person.

13 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the movement of the image takes place inside another image formed in the air.

14 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein part of the image formed inside the other image is presented in perspective.

15 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to switch, in response to a user instruction, presentation mode of the image presented in the air between a perspective mode and a non-perspective mode.

16 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 15 , wherein the processor is configured to present, in response to the user switching the method from the perspective mode to the non-perspective mode while the movement of the image is in progress, a remaining portion of the movement of the image in the non-perspective mode.

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

expressing, in perspective, movement of an image formed in air.

18 . An information processing apparatus comprising:

processing means for expressing, in perspective, movement of an image formed in air.
