Abstract:
A mixed reality presentation apparatus which generates a three-dimensional virtual image associated with a collaborative operation to be done by a plurality of operators in a common mixed reality environment, and displays the generated virtual image on display devices respectively attached to the plurality of operators, comprising,first sensor means for detecting a status of each of the actuators which are operated by the plurality of operators and move as the collaborative operation progresses; second sensor means for detecting a view point position of each of the plurality of operators in an environment of the collaborative operation; and generation means for generating a three-dimensional model in said common mixed reality environment, said generation means generating three-dimensional virtual images by transforming the three-dimensional model on the basis of an operation result of the collaborative operation that has progressed according to a change in status of each of the plurality of actuators detected by said first sensor means and the view point position of each operator detected by said second sensor means, and outputting the generated three-dimensional virtual images that are viewed from the view point position of each operator to each display device.
