Abstract: Natural appearance of transition from a predetermined object of two-dimensional content displayed on a two-dimensional display to a three-dimensional display model of an AR display device or vice versa is achieved. Control is performed such that, the transition is performed after switching the two-dimensional content from the motion parallax non-application display to the motion parallax application display. For example, control is performed such that the motion parallax application display is displayed on the two-dimensional display in a case where there is one AR display device, and the motion parallax application display is displayed on the AR display device in a case where there is a plurality of AR display devices.

Abstract: [Problem] To provide an information processor, an information processing method, and a storage medium that can properly reduce a display delay when a virtual object is superimposed on a field of view on a video see-through display.
[Solution] The information processor includes a display control unit, wherein the display control unit controls the video see-through display configured to display a captured image that is acquired by an imaging unit, the display control unit superimposes the virtual object on a first captured image if a load of recognition of a real space based on a predetermined captured image is a first load, the virtual object being drawn on the basis of recognition of the real space, and the display control unit superimposes the virtual object on a second captured image if the load of the recognition is a second load greater than the first load, the second captured image being acquired before the first captured image.

Abstract: An information processing device (1) according to an embodiment includes a display control unit (34) and a decision unit (31). The display control unit (34) displays a content image on a head-mounted display. During display of the content image by the display control unit (34), the decision unit (31) decides whether or not a surrounding person exists in a front direction of the head-mounted display on the basis of a camera image obtained by capturing an image of a surrounding environment of the head-mounted display. In a case where the decision unit (31) decides that a surrounding person exists, the display control unit (34) moves a display position of the content image.

Abstract: A display delay of a virtual object is to be shortened, to alleviate the user's feeling of strangeness and enhance the sense of immersion in an AR space.
An information processing apparatus according to the present technology includes: a drawing control unit that performs drawing control on a virtual object displayed while being associated with a real object recognized in an object recognition process; and a correction control unit that performs control so that an image obtained in a virtual object drawing process performed on the basis of a recognition result of an object recognition processing performed at a first time point is corrected on the basis of a recognition result of an object recognition process performed at a second time point that is later than the first time point.

Abstract: An information processing device according to an embodiment includes a detection unit, a determination unit, and a display control unit. The detection unit detects a wearing state of a wearer with respect to a display device that has optical transparency and projects a plurality of content images duplicated from a single content image toward the eyeballs of the wearer. The determination unit determines whether or not the mounting misalignment is occurring with the wearer on the basis of the detection result of the wearing state detected by the detection unit. In a case where the determination unit determines that the mounting misalignment is occurring, the display control unit displays a notification regarding the mounting misalignment on the display device.
