Abstract: A method of generating stereoscopic images for display with respect to a virtual display screen (VDS) position, includes setting a VDS position for a stereoscopic image for display such that the depth profile of one or more VDSs approximates the depth profile of one or more objects in a virtual scene to be displayed by that stereoscopic image, and generating the stereoscopic image for display having image parallax appropriate to the VDS position or positions set by the setting step.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus provide for receiving an image to be displayed on the head-mounted display unit generated in a first frequency by an image generation apparatus using information relating to at least one of a position and a rotation of the head of a user who wears a head-mounted display unit, where the information is acquired at a certain point of time; correcting the image using updated information relating to at least one of the position and the rotation at a different point of time, where the receiving and correcting includes receiving updated information relating to at least one of a position and a rotation in a second frequency corresponding to a frame rate of the head-mounted display unit, and performing multiple times of correction of the image in the first frequency using a plurality of the updated information relating to at least one of the position and the rotation received in the second frequency higher than the first frequency.

Abstract: A method of generating an image of a subject in a scene includes obtaining a first image and a second image of a subject in a scene, each image corresponding to a different respective viewpoint of the subject, each image being captured by a different respective camera, where at least some of the subject is occluded in the first image and not the second image by virtue of the different viewpoints, obtaining camera pose data indicating a pose of a camera for each image, re-projecting, based on the difference in camera poses associated with each image, at least a portion of the second image to correspond to the viewpoint from which the first image was captured, and combining the re-projected portion of the second image with at least some of the first image so as to generate a composite image of the subject from the viewpoint of the first image, the re-projected portion of the second image providing image data for at least some of the occluded part or parts of the subject in the first image.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus provide for acquiring information relating to at least one of a position and a rotation of a user's head wearing a head-mounted display; generating an image for the head-mounted display using information relating to at least one of a position and a rotation acquired at a certain point of time; and a correcting process includes receiving updated information relating to at least one of a position and a rotation at a different point of time and correcting the image generated using the updated information. The generating the image includes using the information relating to at least one of the position and the rotation in a first frequency; and the correcting includes receiving updated information relating to at least one of a position and a rotation in a second frequency corresponding to a frame rate of the head-mounted display. The correcting includes multiple times of correction of the image generated in the first frequency using a plurality of the updated information in the second frequency, which is higher than the first frequency.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus provide for an acquisition process to acquire information relating to at least one of a position and a rotation of a camera and an image generation process to generate an image to be displayed on a display unit in a first frequency lower than a second frequency corresponding to a frame rate of the display unit using information relating to at least one of a position and a rotation acquired at a certain point of time by the acquisition process.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for generating stereoscopic images for display with respect to a virtual display screen (VDS) include: setting a VDS position for displaying a stereoscopic image of an object in a virtual scene, the VDS having a depth profile that approximates a depth profile of the object; (ii) generating the stereoscopic image for display at the VDS within the virtual scene; and (iii) controlling a configuration of the VDS based on the detected change in the viewpoint of the stereoscopic image by the viewer.

Abstract: A position and rotation information acquisition unit 730 acquires information relating to a position and a rotation of the head of a user who wears a head-mounted display unit 100. A coordinate transformation unit 740 and a panorama image processing unit 750 generate an image to be displayed on the head-mounted display unit using the information relating to the position and the rotation acquired at a certain point of time by the position and rotation information acquisition unit 730. A correction processing unit 780 corrects the generated image using updated information relating to the position and the rotation at a different point of time.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus provide for generating an image by way of acquiring information relating to at least one of a position and a rotation of a camera. The image is generated for display on a display unit. A rate at which the image is generated is at a first frequency, which is lower than a second frequency corresponding to a frame rate of the display unit.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus provide for generating an image by way of acquiring information relating to at least one of a position and a rotation of a camera operated by a user. The image is generated for display on a display unit viewed by the user. A rate at which the image is generated is at a first frequency, which is lower than a second frequency corresponding to a frame rate of the display unit.
