TERMINAL APPARATUS

Smart overview of the Invention

A terminal apparatus is designed to facilitate communication in a virtual space during calls. It comprises a communication interface and a controller that interacts through this interface. The controller processes information to create a 3D model representing another user in the call, including their focus direction, and generates an image that reflects this virtual environment.

Improving User Experience

The goal is to enhance user convenience and the realism of virtual calls. By utilizing a 3D model that indicates where another user is focusing, participants can better understand the dynamics of the conversation. This setup allows users to experience a more immersive interaction, making it easier to follow discussions and predict conversational flow.

System Configuration

The virtual space call system consists of multiple terminal apparatuses connected via a network to a server. Each terminal serves as an information processing device, such as a smartphone or computer, enabling users to engage in virtual space calls. The server manages the communication and processing of necessary information for these interactions.

Terminal Apparatus Components

• Communication Interface: Connects to the network for data exchange.
• Controller: Executes processing tasks and manages overall operations.
• Memory: Stores operational data and processed information.
• Input/Output Interfaces: Facilitate user interaction through various input methods and display outputs.

Enhanced Realism in Virtual Interaction

The terminal apparatus improves how users perceive interactions in virtual calls by positioning 3D models based on focus direction. This feature allows for a more realistic representation of user relationships during conversations, thus enhancing the overall experience of virtual communication in networked environments.
