Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method for combining a real space image with a virtual image, includes: causing an imaging unit to capture an image of a real space; generating an image covering a predetermined space based on a plurality of real images in the captured real space; extracting position information of a light source based on the generated image; and adding a light source or a shadow on the virtual image based on the extracted position information of the light source.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of presenting a combined image in which a real space image of a real space is combined with a virtual image of a virtual object on a head-mounted display device for a user, the method comprising: a receiving step of receiving image data for a plurality of captured images captured by an imaging apparatus carried by the user, the plurality of captured images including images relating to different parts of the real space; a position/orientation obtai…
