Smart overview of the Invention

The patent describes a video generation device that creates videos by placing 3-dimensional models in a virtual space. These models are derived from scanned images of an object's outer appearance. The device includes components for generating the video, outputting it to a display, receiving user inputs, and determining the nature of these inputs to influence the video content. This system allows for interactive manipulation of the virtual model based on user inputs.

Technical Components

The device comprises several key components:

  • Generator: Creates videos using 3D model data from scanned images.
  • Output Unit: Sends the generated video to a display device.
  • Receiver: Captures manipulation inputs from observers.
  • Determination Unit: Analyzes inputs to adjust video content accordingly.

The generator can modify video effects based on the model's position in the virtual space, enhancing interaction and realism.

System Configuration

The system includes an image processing setup with devices like a scanner, support arm, and model support device connected to an information processing unit. This unit controls imaging processes and generates 3D model data from multiple images. These models can be used to create interactive videos displayed in virtual spaces.

Imaging Process

The scanner captures the 3D shape and color of target models, which can include toys or figures. The support arm positions the scanner precisely for capturing comprehensive images. The model support device holds models in place during scanning, allowing for complete imaging from various angles. Together, these components ensure high-quality 3D data acquisition.

User Interaction

The display device shows the processed images and generated videos. It includes a manipulation unit that lets users interact with the displayed content. User inputs are received and processed to alter the virtual model's presentation dynamically. This interaction capability is central to the system's functionality, providing a personalized viewing experience.
