20220247938 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM - An information processing apparatus including a display control unit that causes an image captured by any of one or a plurality of imaging devices to be displayed in a captured image display region that is a part of a display unit, causes second information related to the one or plurality of imaging devices to be displayed in a captured image hiding region that is a part of the display unit and different from the captured image display region, and causes first information related to the one or plurality of corresponding imaging devices to be displayed in the captured image display region in accordance with the second information being displayed and the one or plurality of imaging devices being in a predetermined state. | 2022-08-04 |
20220247939 | 360 DEGREE INTERACTIVE STUDIO - A 360 degree interactive studio can include an arrangement of screens that enclose a performance area. The screens can be used to display an audience around the performance area and can provide an opening through which performers can enter the performance area. A 360 degree arrangement of speakers can be used to project audio of the displayed audience into the presentation area. A 360 degree arrangement of lighting can also be used to illuminate the performance area. In this way, the 360 degree interactive studio can create a live event environment for the performers and the audience even though the audience is remotely located. | 2022-08-04 |
