Patent ID: 7558403

Claim:
An information processing method comprising: an image information acquisition step of acquiring an image from an image pickup unit for picking up physical space; a sensor information acquisition step of acquiring a sensor output for measuring at least one of the position and the orientation of a subject in the physical space; a calculation step of calculating at least one of the position or the orientation of the subject using at least one of the image of the physical space and the sensor output; an output step of supplying the image of the physical space and the at least one of the calculated position and the orientation of the subject to an external application for generating a virtual object image to be registered with the physical space image to display a superimposed image using the at least one of the position and the orientation; and a presentation step of presenting a user interface causing a user to set parameters used in the calculation step, wherein the user interface includes a first user interface for setting a parameter relating to a market placed in the physical world, and the first user interface includes an input region for inputting respective three-dimensional coordinates of apexes defining the marker and a display region for displaying an image of the marker, and the display region displays the image of the marker with information indicating an input order of the three-dimensional coordinates in order to define a direction toward which a surface of the marker faces.
