Abstract

A processor is configured to compare a captured image captured by a camera of a transmissive display device, information representing a position of marking performed on the captured image displayed on another display device, a region of a real space in which a display image is displayable by the transmissive display device, and the position of the marking in the real space, display information representing the position of the marking in the real space, acquire a detection result obtained by detecting a visual line of a user of the transmissive display device, compare the detection result of the visual line with the position in the real space of the marking or information representing the position in the real space of the marking, and change the marking or a display state of the information representing the position of the marking.

Claims (32)

1. An information processing device that has a function of displaying a captured image captured by a camera of an augmented reality device used by a first user on an image display device used by a second user, and displaying a projection image which represents position information representing a position of marking performed on the captured image displayed on the image display device, through an input device operated by the second user, on the augmented reality device, the information processing device including:

a first acquisition unit that acquires the captured image captured by the camera, and a detection result of a distance measurement device attached to the augmented reality device, the distance measurement device measuring a distance between the augmented reality device and a region range in a real space equivalent to an imaging range of the camera,

a second transmission unit that has a function of outputting the captured image to the image display device,

a second acquisition unit that acquires the position information from the image display device,

a real position derivation unit that derives a real position that is a position of the marking in the real space based on the detection result of the distance measurement device and the position information,

a projection image generation unit that in a case in which the real position of the marking is within a visual field of a real image, which is visually recognized by the first user through the augmented reality device, generates a projection image representing the image of the marking, and in a case in which the real position of the marking is outside the visual field, generates a projection image representing the position information, and

a first transmission unit that has a function of outputting the projection image to the augmented reality device,

wherein the information processing device is configured such that:

the first acquisition unit acquires a visual line of a user of the first user obtained by a visual line detecting sensor attached to the augmented reality device, and

the projection image generation unit determines whether or not the first user has visually recognized the marking based on the visual line and in a case in which the first user has not visually recognized the marking, changes a display state of the projection image.

2. An information processing method executed by a processor in an information processing device that has a function of displaying a captured image captured by a camera of an augmented reality device used by a first user on an image display device used by a second user, and displaying a projection image which represents position information representing a position of marking performed on the captured image displayed on the image display device, through an input device operated by the second user, on the augmented reality device, the method comprising:

acquiring the captured image captured by the camera, and a detection result of a distance measurement device attached to the augmented reality device, the distance measurement device measuring a distance between the augmented reality device and a region range in a real space equivalent to an imaging range of the camera;

outputting the captured image to the image display device;

acquiring the position information from the image display device;

deriving a real position that is a position of the marking in the real space based on the detection result of the distance measurement device and the position information;

in a case in which the real position of the marking is within a visual field of a real image, which is visually recognized by the first user through the augmented reality device, generating a projection image representing the image of the marking, and in a case in which the real position of the marking is outside the visual field, generating a projection image representing the position information; and

outputting the projection image to the augmented reality device,

wherein the method further comprises:

acquiring a visual line of the first user obtained by a visual line detecting sensor attached to the augmented reality device; and

determining whether or not the first user has visually recognized the marking based on the visual line, and in a case in which the first user has not visually recognized the marking, changing a display state of the projection image.

3. A non-transitory storage medium storing an information processing program for causing a processor, in an information processing device that has a function of displaying a captured image captured by a camera of an augmented reality device used by a first user on an image display device used by a second user, and displaying a projection image which represents position information representing a position of marking performed on the captured image displayed on the image display device, through an input device operated by the second user, on the augmented reality device, to execute a process comprising:

acquiring the captured image captured by the camera, and a detection result of a distance measurement device attached to the augmented reality device, the distance measurement device measuring a distance between the augmented reality device and a region range in a real space equivalent to an imaging range of the camera;

outputting the captured image to the image display device;

acquiring the position information from the image display device,

a real position derivation unit that derives a real position that is a position of the marking in the real space based on the detection result of the distance measurement device and the position information;

in a case in which the real position of the marking is within a visual field of a real image, which is visually recognized by the first user through the augmented reality device, generating a projection image representing the image of the marking, and in a case in which the real position of the marking is outside the visual field, generating a projection image representing the position information; and

outputting the projection image to the augmented reality device,

wherein the process further comprises:

acquiring a visual line of the first user obtained by a visual line detecting sensor attached to the augmented reality device; and

determining whether or not the first user has visually recognized the marking based on the visual line, and in a case in which the first user has not visually recognized the marking, changing a display state of the projection image.

4. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the changing of the display state comprises increasing a brightness of the projection image.
