Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and storage medium
An information processing apparatus includes a first acquisition unit configured to acquire a position and orientation of a display apparatus capable of displaying one or more virtual objects, a second acquisition unit configured to acquire a position and orientation of a target virtual object out of the one or more virtual objects, and a control unit configured to determine a method of displaying the target virtual object on the display apparatus based on the position and orientation of the display apparatus and the position and orientation of the target virtual object.
1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more memories coupled to the one or more processors, the one or more memories having stored thereon instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to:
acquire a position of a display apparatus capable of displaying one or more virtual objects;
acquire a position of a target virtual object out of the one or more virtual objects;
measure a distance between the display apparatus and the target virtual object based on the position of the display apparatus and the position of the target virtual object; and
determine a degree of transparency of the target virtual object to be displayed on the display apparatus based on the distance between the display apparatus and the target virtual object; and
change the degree of transparency of the target virtual object to make the target virtual object transparent in a case where the distance becomes smaller than or equal to a predetermined distance threshold.
2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the predetermined distance threshold includes a plurality of different distance thresholds, and
wherein the degree of transparency of the target virtual object is changed every time the distance becomes smaller than or equal to any one of the plurality of different distance thresholds.
3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the apparatus to set the target virtual object.
4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein a virtual object designated by a user or a virtual object having an area that is larger than or equal to a predetermined size is set as the target virtual object.
5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the apparatus to set a predetermined attribute indicating a target of a change of the degree of transparency of the target virtual object to the target virtual object.
6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the apparatus to display a combined image generated by combining the one or more virtual objects with a captured image of a real space on the display apparatus.
7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, in the case where the distance becomes smaller than or equal to the predetermined distance threshold, the target virtual object is made transparent even when no virtual object exists between the display device and the target virtual object.
8. An information processing apparatus, comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more memories coupled to the one or more processors, the one or more memories having stored thereon instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to:
calculate a ratio of a target virtual object occupying a screen of a display apparatus as an occupied area ratio;
determine an appearance of the target virtual object to be displayed on the display apparatus based on the calculated occupied area ratio; and
acquire a change amount of the occupied area ratio of the target virtual object,
wherein the appearance of the target virtual object is changed in a case where a change amount of the occupied area ratio is larger than or equal to a change amount threshold.
9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the appearance of the target virtual object is changed in a case where the occupied area ratio is higher than or equal to an occupied area ratio threshold.
10. An information processing method, comprising:
acquiring a position of a display apparatus capable of displaying one or more virtual objects;
acquiring a position of a target virtual object out of the one or more virtual objects;
measuring a distance between the display apparatus and the target virtual object based on the position of the display apparatus and the position of the target virtual object; and
determining a degree of transparency of the target virtual object to be displayed on the display apparatus based on the distance between the display apparatus and the target virtual object; and
changing the degree of transparency of the target virtual object to make the target virtual object transparent in a case where the distance becomes smaller than or equal to a predetermined distance threshold.
11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores a program causing a computer to execute an information processing method, the method comprising:
acquiring a position of a display apparatus capable of displaying one or more virtual objects;
acquiring a position of a target virtual object out of the one or more virtual objects;
measuring a distance between the display apparatus and the target virtual object based on the position of the display apparatus and the position of the target virtual object; and
determining a degree of transparency of the target virtual object to be displayed on the display apparatus based on the distance between the display apparatus and the target virtual object; and
changing the degree of transparency of the target virtual object to make the target virtual object transparent in a case where the distance becomes smaller than or equal to a predetermined distance threshold.
12. An information processing method, comprising:
calculating a ratio of a target virtual object occupying a screen of a display apparatus as an occupied area ratio;
determining an appearance of the target virtual object to be displayed on the display apparatus based on the calculated occupied area ratio; and
acquiring a change amount of the occupied area ratio of the target virtual object,
wherein the appearance of the target virtual object is changed in a case where a change amount of the occupied area ratio is larger than or equal to a change amount threshold.
13. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores a program causing a computer to execute an information processing method, the method comprising:
calculating a ratio of a target virtual object occupying a screen of a display apparatus as an occupied area ratio;
determining an appearance of the target virtual object to be displayed on the display apparatus based on the calculated occupied area ratio; and
acquiring a change amount of the occupied area ratio of the target virtual object,
wherein the appearance of the target virtual object is changed in a case where a change amount of the occupied area ratio is larger than or equal to a change amount threshold.
