IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, PROGRAM, AND IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress mismatching between the state of a real world and the state of a virtual object in the case of providing a composite sense of reality.

SOLUTION: Provided is an image processing apparatus including: an input image acquisition unit for acquiring an input image generated by taking an image of a real space; an image recognition unit for recognizing a manipulator used for manipulating a virtual object where the manipulator appears in the input image when a first user input representing a start of manipulation is detected; a calculation unit for calculating a position on a screen of a display device at which the virtual object is to be displayed according to a result of the recognition of the manipulator provided by the image recognition unit; a display control unit for displaying the virtual object at the position of the screen of the display device calculated by the calculation unit; and a communication unit for transmitting a first notification signal for notifying the start of manipulation to the other apparatus displaying the same virtual object when the first user input is detected.
