  • Patent number: 12445708
    Abstract: To provide a display control system in which a terminal device and a display device operate in tandem. The display control system comprises a terminal device 10 having an image-capture unit, a display device 50 for displaying video, and a control device 20 for controlling the display device 50. The terminal device 10 or the control device 20 identifies a capture range in video displayed by the display device 50 on the basis of an image captured by the image-capture unit. The control device 50 controls the display state of the video displayed by the display device 50 on the basis of the identified capture range. This configuration allows for interactive special effects such as making an object in the capture range of the terminal device 10 disappear from the video or making objects in the capture range of the terminal device 10 appear in the video.

  • Patent number: 12437494
    Abstract: A three-dimensional computer-generated environment can be presented to a user. The user can create a virtual representation of a real-world object within the computer-generated environment by directing an input device towards the real-world object and tracing contours of the real-world object. The virtual representation can include voxels. The user can edit the virtual representation or create a new virtual object formed of voxels by depositing or removing voxels at virtual locations within the computer-generated environment based on selection inputs, release inputs, and optionally movement inputs detected by the input device. In some cases, the user can provide inputs via another input source, such as a hand of the user, that are detected by additional sensors or devices.
