THREE-DIMENSIONAL SIMULATOR DEVICE AND IMAGE SYNTHESIS METHOD

摘要

PURPOSE: To provide a three-dimensional simulator device and image synthesis method capable of continuously changing the visual point information at the time of forming a visual field image in a virtual three-dimensional space. CONSTITUTION: An input section 2 for inputting operation information for the purpose of continuously changing visual point information is included in an operation section 12. The calculation to continuously change the visual point information on previously determined loci is executed in accordance with the operation information in the visual point information changing section 107 of a virtual three-dimensional space calculating section 100. The visual field image based on the visual point information is synthesized in an image synthesis section 200 and is outputted from a display. The simulator device is provided with the first input section for operating a player and moving bodies and the second input section for operating the visual point positions and visual line direction and is provided with the visual point changing section and the visual line changing section. The independent operation of the progressing directions of the player, etc., and the visual point positions and visual line directions by the first and second input sections is thereby made possible.
