Abstract

Provided are a data acquisition device, an image acquisition device, a data structure, a data acquisition method, an image acquisition method, a program, and a recording medium that can acquire an image close to a real space through imaging in a virtual space.A data acquisition device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a processor, in which the processor is configured to acquire real subject data corresponding to virtual object data for displaying a virtual object in a virtual space, based on the virtual object data and a display condition for displaying the virtual space related to the virtual object.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A data acquisition device comprising:
a processor, wherein the processor is configured to acquire real subject data corresponding to virtual object data for displaying a virtual object in a virtual space, based on the virtual object data and a display condition for displaying the virtual space related to the virtual object.

2 . The data acquisition device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the processor is configured to associate the acquired real subject data with the virtual object data.

3 . The data acquisition device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the real subject data is data for displaying a real subject corresponding to the virtual object.

4 . The data acquisition device according to claim 3 ,
wherein the real subject data is an image obtained by imaging the real subject corresponding to the virtual object in a real space.

5 . The data acquisition device according to claim 3 ,
wherein the real subject data is a three-dimensional image of a three-dimensional shape of the real subject corresponding to the virtual object.

6 . An image acquisition device comprising:
a processor, wherein the processor is configured to: receive image acquisition conditions for acquiring a virtual image in which a virtual space related to a virtual object is shown; and acquire a real subject image for a real subject corresponding to the virtual object, based on the virtual image and the image acquisition conditions.

7 . The image acquisition device according to claim 6 ,
wherein the processor is configured to combine a plurality of the acquired real subject images to generate a composite image corresponding to the virtual image.

8 . The image acquisition device according to claim 6 ,
wherein an avatar and a background as the virtual objects are present in the virtual image.

9 . The image acquisition device according to claim 6 ,
wherein the image acquisition conditions include an imaging condition for performing imaging with a virtual camera that imitates a real camera in the virtual space.

10 . The image acquisition device according to claim 6 ,
wherein the image acquisition conditions include an environmental condition related to a virtual environment that imitates a real environment in the virtual space.

11 . The image acquisition device according to claim 6 ,
wherein the image acquisition conditions include a condition related to a background in the virtual space.

12 . The image acquisition device according to claim 6 ,
wherein the processor is configured to correct the real subject image based on the image acquisition conditions.

13 . The image acquisition device according to claim 6 ,
wherein the processor is configured to correct the real subject image according to a state of the virtual object shown in the virtual image.

14 . The image acquisition device according to claim 7 ,
wherein the processor is configured to store the acquired composite image in association with the image acquisition conditions.

15 . A data structure comprising:
virtual object data that is used in a process of displaying a virtual object in a virtual space; and a display condition that is used together with the virtual object data in a process of acquiring real subject data corresponding to the virtual object data and that is for displaying the virtual space related to the virtual object.

16 . The data structure according to claim 15 , further comprising:
the acquired real subject data.

17 . A data acquisition method executed by a processor, the data acquisition method comprising:
a process of acquiring real subject data corresponding to virtual object data for displaying a virtual object in a virtual space, based on the virtual object data and a display condition for displaying the virtual space related to the virtual object.

18 . An image acquisition method executed by a processor, the image acquisition method comprising:
a process of receiving image acquisition conditions for acquiring a virtual image in which a virtual space related to a virtual object is shown; and a process of acquiring a real subject image for a real subject corresponding to the virtual object, based on the virtual image and the image acquisition conditions.

19 . A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium on which a program causing a computer to execute the process included in the data acquisition method according to claim 17 is recorded.

20 . A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium on which a program causing a computer to execute each process included in the image acquisition method according to claim 18 is recorded.
