Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to set a first reference object, and if a second reference object identical or similar to the first reference object is recognized, virtually display a target object in relation to the second reference object. The target object is recognized in advance together with the first reference object.

Claims (22)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising a processor configured to

set a first real reference object in a real space, and

if a second real reference object identical or similar to the first real reference object is recognized in the real space, display a virtual version of a real target object on the second real reference object, wherein the real target object which is in contact with the first real reference object is recognized in the real space in advance together with the first real reference object.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a first relative positional relationship between the second real reference object and the virtual version of the real target object reflects a second relative positional relationship between the first real reference object and the real target object.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein a first relative size relationship between the second real reference object and the virtual version of the real target object reflects a second relative size relationship between the first real reference object and the real target object.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein, if a size of the real target object is smaller than a threshold, the first relative size relationship does not reflect the second relative size relationship.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a first relative size relationship between the second real reference object and the virtual version of the real target object reflects a second relative size relationship between the first real reference object and the real target object.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein, if a size of the real target object is smaller than a threshold, the first relative size relationship does not reflect the second relative size relationship.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor displays the virtual version of the real target object on the second real reference object if the real target object is not recognized together with the second real reference object.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor avoids displaying the virtual version of the real target object on the second real reference object if the real target object is recognized together with the second real reference object.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, if first details of the real target object recognized together with the second real reference object differ from second details of the real target object recognized together with the first real reference object, the processor notifies a user that the first details of the real target object recognized together with the second real reference object differ from the second details of the real target object recognized together with the first real reference object.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the processor is configured to,

before displaying the virtual version of the real target object, notify the user that the first details of the real target object recognized together with the second real reference object differ from the second details of the real target object recognized together with the first real reference object, and

display the virtual version of the real target object on the second real reference object in response to the user giving an instruction to display the virtual version of the real target object.

11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a category of the second real reference object is identical or similar to a category of the first real reference object.

12. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the real target object is recognized in advance together with a plurality of first real reference objects, and

wherein, if the second real reference object identical or similar to at least one first real reference object out of the plurality of first real reference objects is recognized, the processor displays the virtual version of the real target object on the second real reference object.

13. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, if a plurality of real target objects are recognized together with the first real reference object and if the second real reference object identical or similar to the first real reference object is recognized, the processor displays a list of the plurality of real target objects for selection of a particular real target object for displaying the virtual version of the real target object.

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

setting a first real reference object in a real space; and

if a second real reference object identical or similar to the first real reference object is recognized in the real space, displaying a virtual version of a real target object on the second real reference object, wherein the real target object which is in contact with the first real reference object is recognized in the real space in advance together with the first real reference object.
