Abstract

An in-vehicle performance device is an in-vehicle performance device that performs a game that is played by an occupant in a vehicle, and includes a motion detector configured to detect a motion of the occupant irrelevant to driving the vehicle, a display configured to display an image visually recognizable by the occupant, and a display controller configured to display a response image according to the motion of the occupant on the display on the basis of the motion of the occupant detected by the motion detector, and output a result of a game based on a predetermined rule.

Claims (31)

1. An in-vehicle performance system comprising:

a plurality of in-vehicle performance devices, each of which performs a game played by an occupant in a vehicle,

wherein each of the in-vehicle performance devices includes:

a motion detector configured to detect a pointing motion of a finger of the occupant at an object in a surrounding environment of the vehicle, the pointing motion being irrelevant to driving the vehicle;

an imager configured to image the surrounding environment and acquire image information indicating a generated surrounding environment image;

an extractor configured to extract a specific object and attribute on the basis of the image information acquired by the imager;

a display configured to display an image visually recognizable by the occupant;

a display controller configured to display a response image according to the pointing motion of the occupant on the display on the basis of a comparison with a direction of the pointing motion and position information of the object, an attribute of the specific object extracted by the extractor, and the pointing motion of the occupant detected by the motion detector, and output a result of the game based on a predetermined rule;

a score calculator configured to calculate, as a score, a number of times the motion detector detects pointing motions of the finger, comprising the pointing motion, at specific objects comprising the specific object;

a transmitter configured to transmit information indicating the score calculated by the score calculator to another in-vehicle performance device; and

a receiver configured to receive score information indicating a score calculated by the another in-vehicle performance device,

wherein the display controller causes the response image to be superimposed on an object in the surrounding environment of the vehicle and displayed on the display,

wherein the display controller causes a first image showing the score calculated by the score calculator to be displayed on the display at a predetermined timing, and

wherein the display controller causes the first image showing the score calculated by the score calculator and a second image showing the score of the score information received by the receiver to be displayed on the display.

2. The in-vehicle performance system according to claim 1 , wherein the second image showing the score includes:

a third image showing the score of the score information received from the another in-vehicle performance device mounted in another vehicle, the another vehicle belonging to a same team as the vehicle in which the in-vehicle performance device is mounted; and

a fourth image showing the score of the score information received from the another in-vehicle performance device mounted in another vehicle, the another vehicle belonging to a team other than the same team,

the display controller compare the third image showing the score with the fourth image showing the score and causes a comparison result to be displayed on the display.

3. The in-vehicle performance system according to claim 1 , wherein the display controller causes a fifth image for prompting a movement of the vehicle to be displayed, on the basis of information indicating a behavior of the vehicle in which the in-vehicle performance device is mounted and information indicating a behavior of another vehicle in which the another in-vehicle performance device is mounted.

4. An in-vehicle performance method comprising:

detecting, by a computer performing a game played by an occupant in a vehicle, via a motion detector, a pointing motion of a finger of the occupant at an object in a surrounding environment of the vehicle, the pointing motion being irrelevant to driving the vehicle;

imaging, by the computer, via a imager, the surrounding environment and acquire image information indicating a generated surrounding environment image;

extracting, by the computer, a specific object and attribute on the basis of the image information acquired by the imager;

displaying, by the computer, via a display, an image visually recognizable by the occupant; and

displaying, by the computer, a response image according to the pointing motion on the display on the basis of a comparison with a direction of the pointing motion and position information of the object, an attribute of the specific object extracted, and the pointing motion detected, and outputting a result of the game based on a predetermined rule.

5. A non-transitory storage medium storing a program causing a computer performing a game played by an occupant in a vehicle to:

detect, via a motion detector, a pointing motion of a finger of the occupant at an object in a surrounding environment of the vehicle, the pointing motion being irrelevant to driving the vehicle;

image, via a imager, the surrounding environment and acquire image information indicating a generated surrounding environment image;

extract a specific object and attribute on the basis of the image information acquired by the imager;

display, via a display, an image visually recognizable by the occupant; and

display a response image according to the pointing motion on the display on the basis of a comparison with a direction of the pointing motion and position information of the object, an attribute of the specific object extracted, and the pointing motion detected, and outputting a result of the game based on a predetermined rule.
