Information processing method and apparatus, and program for executing the information processing method on computer
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- defining a virtual space, wherein the virtual space comprises a first avatar object associated with a first user and a second avatar object associated with a second user;
playing back 360-degree content in the virtual space;
moving the first avatar object in response to a first input by the first user;
moving the second avatar object in response to a second input by the second user;
storing motion data for moving the second avatar object irrespective to the second input;
associating the motion data with a spatial position in the 360-degree content and a playback time;
identifying the spatial position included within a field of view of the second avatar object based on a viewing direction of the second avatar object;
identifying a current playback time of the 360-degree content;
identifying the motion data corresponding to the identified spatial position and the identified current playback time;
moving the second avatar object based on the identified motion data;
identifying a visual field of the first user in the virtual space in response to the first input; and
generating a visual-field image corresponding to the visual field.

Abstract
A method includes defining a virtual space. The virtual space includes a first avatar object associated with a first user and a second avatar object associated with a second user. The method further includes playing back 360-degree content. The method further includes moving the first avatar object in response to a first input by the first user; and moving the second avatar object in response to a second input by the second user. The method further includes storing motion data for moving the second avatar object irrespective to the second input. The method further includes associating the motion data with a spatial position in the 360-degree content and a playback time. The method further includes identifying the motion data corresponding to identified spatial position and identified current playback time. The method further includes moving the second avatar object based on the identified motion data.
