Abstract

There is provided an information processing device, an information processing method, and a program that can facilitate a user to perceive a stereoscopic vision object, the information processing device including: a display control unit configured to perform movement control of a stereoscopic vision object perceived by a user from a start depth that is different from a target depth to the target depth on a basis of mode specifying information that specifies a mode of the movement control that supports stereoscopic vision by the user, and an information processing method including: performing movement control of a stereoscopic vision object perceived by a user from a start depth that is different from a target depth to the target depth on a basis of mode specifying information that specifies a mode of the movement control that supports stereoscopic vision by the user.

Claims (35)

1. An information processing device comprising:

a display control unit configured to perform movement control of one or more stereoscopic vision objects perceived by a user from a start depth that is different from a target depth to the target depth on a basis of mode specifying information that specifies a mode of the movement control that supports stereoscopic vision by the user,

wherein the mode specifying information includes information regarding a number of the one or more stereoscopic objects,

wherein the mode of the movement control comprises a movement speed of the one or more stereoscopic objects from the start depth to the target depth,

wherein the display control unit determines the movement speed of the one of more stereoscopic objects based on the number of the one or more stereoscopic objects,

wherein, when the number of the one or more stereoscopic objects is greater than a threshold number, the movement speed is faster than when the number of the one or more stereoscopic objects is equal to or less than the threshold number, and

wherein the display control unit is implemented via at least one processor.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the start depth includes a depth closer to a virtual screen than the target depth.

3. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the mode of the movement control includes a determination of the start depth.

4. The information processing device according to claim 3 , wherein the start depth includes a depth so that a difference between the target depth and the start depth is a difference specified on the basis of the mode specifying information.

5. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the mode of the movement control includes a determination of the mode of the movement of the one or more stereoscopic vision objects.

6. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the mode specifying information includes information regarding an attribute of the user or information regarding an exercise of the user.

7. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the mode specifying information includes information regarding a type of the one or more stereoscopic vision objects.

8. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the mode specifying information includes information regarding a visual mode of the one or more stereoscopic vision objects.

9. The information processing device according to claim 8 , wherein the information regarding the visual mode includes information regarding a depth of the one or more stereoscopic vision objects.

10. The information processing device according to claim 9 , wherein the information regarding the depth includes information regarding a difference between the target depth and a depth of a past stereoscopic vision object.

11. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the mode specifying information includes information regarding an environment surrounding the user.

12. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the mode of the movement control includes a determination of whether to move the one or more stereoscopic vision objects on the basis of the mode specifying information.

13. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein in a case where the user's visual recognition of the one or more stereoscopic vision objects is interrupted while the stereoscopic vision object is moved, the display control unit moves the one or more stereoscopic vision objects again.

14. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein when moving the one or more stereoscopic vision objects, the display control unit prevents stereoscopic vision objects other than the one or more stereoscopic vision objects from being moved.

15. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the display control unit emphasizes presence of the one or more stereoscopic vision objects while the one or more stereoscopic vision objects are moved.

16. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the information processing device is mounted on the user's head.

17. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the threshold number is one.

18. An information processing method, executed by at least one processor, the method comprising:

performing movement control of one or more stereoscopic vision objects perceived by a user from a start depth that is different from a target depth to the target depth on a basis of mode specifying information that specifies a mode of the movement control that supports stereoscopic vision by the user,

wherein the mode specifying information includes information regarding a number of the one or more stereoscopic objects,

wherein the mode of the movement control comprises a movement speed of the one or more stereoscopic objects from the start depth to the target depth,

wherein the movement speed of the one of more stereoscopic objects is determined based on the number of the one or more stereoscopic objects, and

wherein, when the number of the one or more stereoscopic objects is greater than a threshold number, the movement speed is faster than when the number of the one or more stereoscopic objects is equal to or less than the threshold number.

19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having embodied thereon a program, which when executed by a computer causes the computer to execute a method, the method comprising:

performing movement control of a stereoscopic vision object perceived by a user from a start depth that is different from a target depth to the target depth on a basis of mode specifying information that specifies a mode of the movement control that supports stereoscopic vision by the user,

wherein the mode specifying information includes information regarding a number of the one or more stereoscopic objects,

wherein the mode of the movement control comprises a movement speed of the one or more stereoscopic objects from the start depth to the target depth,

wherein the movement speed of the one of more stereoscopic objects is determined based on the number of the one or more stereoscopic objects, and

wherein, when the number of the one or more stereoscopic objects is greater than a threshold number, the movement speed is faster than when the number of the one or more stereoscopic objects is equal to or less than the threshold number.
