Description

  The present invention relates to a system capable of performing simulations of various scenes at weddings and receptions and estimating cost estimates.

  Traditionally, those who wish to hold a wedding or wedding reception first collect information by browsing information pages via information magazines and the Web, etc. It is usual to list several ceremonies that are expected to provide the ceremonies and go to the listed ceremonies several times to make a final decision. In fact, there are cases where 20 venues are visited before the final decision of the ceremony hall, and many people spend time and money. In addition, users who feel tired and distrustful about the gap between what was imagined from information in information magazines and web pages and the actual venue, rough estimates with low creditworthiness, and long meeting times with the coordinator will be later Don't hit. On the other hand, wedding halls that greet customers are difficult to enclose customers who just came to see them, and can not provide accurate estimates with various options, so they lose trust and spend a long meeting time with labor costs Increase is seen as a problem.

  In view of such a current situation, a technique is conceived in which a user who plans to get married can imagine a wedding ceremony or select a venue without going to a ceremony hall.

  Patent Document 1 discloses a technique that allows a simulated wedding ceremony or reception to be simulated even if a person planning a wedding does not go to the ceremony hall. This is a pre-registered image data of various material information such as wedding ceremonies, wedding banquet halls, costumes, and flower arrangements. If you select a costume or costume, and upload and register a photo of the person planning the wedding as image data, you can view composite images and videos of their image data and selected materials.

  Patent Document 2 discloses an event venue selection technique that allows a plurality of users to easily determine an event venue that can be satisfied by judging the content of an event while maintaining the same content. This is because a plurality of users decides while consulting the event venue at each user terminal, and the venue image selected by the predetermined user terminal 1 is delivered to the user terminal 2 and displayed. This allows multiple users to determine venue selection while maintaining simultaneity.

  Patent Document 3 discloses a wedding simulation technique for smoothly preparing for a wedding. This is a way to save time and effort for the groom and the bride to go to the ceremony hall by inputting facial pictures and body shapes of the groom and bride and combining them with the costume images and ceremony hall images prepared in advance. .

  Patent Document 4 discloses a bridal package system that performs a simulation such as a wedding ceremony, reception of a banquet, and calculation of expenses on a predetermined homepage.

  Although the above information magazines and information gathering via the Web alone will allow you to consider the preparations for the ceremony and the decoration of the venue, and browse the costume catalog, there are a wide variety of costumes and various options available. In modern weddings and receptions, for example, it may be necessary to go to the actual venue several times just by combining the bride and groom's own body and costumes. It was a problem.

  According to the technique described in the above-mentioned patent document, a certain degree of simulation is possible. However, any technique can use a two-dimensional still image or a two-dimensional moving image as a composite image (for example, a two-dimensional image of a ceremony hall and an image of the bride and groom). For example, a user who is trying to use a wedding hall has a problem that it is difficult to imagine. In addition, for the bride and groom, it is important from what position in the ceremony hall what they look like, but with the conventional technology, only one pattern of composite images can be seen, and from various positions with different viewpoints. I couldn't confirm how it looked.

  On the other hand, on the wedding hall side, user needs that change with the times and the addition and change of various options, it takes time for coordination, to clarify costs, communicate the image of the option you want to recommend However, it leads to loss of opportunity for contracts and unsatisfactory costs, which lowers user satisfaction.

  DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The three-dimensional simulation system and the expense calculation display system of this embodiment include an ASP (Application Service Provider) server 1 having a content database (DB) 2 and a member DB 3, a processing PC 4, a Web camera 5, and a three-dimensional (3D) camera. 6 and a wedding hall business system 7 are provided. The home PC 8 and the mobile terminal 9 are terminals used by users such as a bride and groom who wish to have a wedding. The ASP server 1, processing PC 4, wedding hall business system 7, home PC 8, and mobile terminal 9 can be connected to each other via the Internet 10.

  The processing PC 4, the Web camera 5, the 3D camera 6, and the wedding hall business system 7 are systems prepared on the wedding hall side. The ASP server 1, the content DB 2, and the member DB 3 are systems prepared for the application service provider to perform cloud service operations for the wedding hall. The ASP server 1 includes a modeling unit 11, a DB update unit 12, a simulation unit 13, and a transmission / reception unit 14.

The Web camera 5 and the 3D camera 6 are cameras for photographing the bride and groom's figures, costumes and accessories worn by the bride and groom, bouquets, flowers, ribbons and other ornaments that decorate the table. The Web camera 5 is a camera for taking in two-dimensional image data of an object, and the 3D camera 6 is a camera for taking in three-dimensional coordinates of the object. The processing PC 4 transmits data such as a person and a costume photographed using the Web camera 5 and the 3D camera 6 to the ASP server 1. The modeling unit 11 of the ASP server 1 performs a modeling process using shooting data from the Web camera 5 and the 3D camera 6. For example, in the case of a person or a costume, the modeling process is performed by pasting the two-dimensional image acquired by the Web camera 5 on the surface of a solid represented by the three-dimensional coordinate data of the target acquired by the 3D camera 6. This is a process for obtaining three-dimensional data of an object. The result of the modeling process is stored in the content DB 2 as content data.

  The content DB 2 is a database that stores various content data, and the member DB 3 is a database that stores data related to members. The data structure of these databases will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. The DB update unit 12 performs processing such as addition and deletion of data to the content DB 2 and the member DB 3. The simulation unit 13 superimposes the modeled person and the costume in a three-dimensional manner, and further superimposes three-dimensional data such as the person and the costume on the background image of the wedding hall to obtain data on the entire scenery of the ceremony hall. A simulation process such as a process to be generated is executed. The transmission / reception unit 14 performs processing for transmitting / receiving various data to / from the home PC 8 and the mobile terminal 9.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of content data (record) stored in the content DB 2. The content number 21 is a number that identifies the content data. The division 22 is division data indicating what kind of data the content data is. The content number 21 is composed of a 10-digit numerical value. The first to third digits represent the content classification, the fourth to ninth digits represent the membership number, the tenth digit represents the gender (male is 1, female is 2). The content classification of the first to third digits is a value indicating the classification 22. The categories include persons, costumes, venue backgrounds, flowers, ribbons, and the like. Data for specifying these is set in the first to third digits of the content number 21 and the category 22. When the classification is “person”, the content data is three-dimensional data of the bride and groom's person, and the member number of the person is set in the fourth to ninth digits of the content number 21. If the category is other than “person”, the content data is data prepared by the ceremony hall in advance, such as costumes, venue backgrounds, flowers, and ribbons. It is assumed that an identification number for specifying the content is set in the eyes. For example, since it is necessary to register a number of data for the costumes of the category, the content data for each of those costumes is “Costume”, and each costume is identified in the fourth to ninth digits of the content number 21 Set the identification number to be distinguished. The tenth digit of the content number 21 is a value indicating gender when the category is “person”, but the tenth digit is not used when the category is other than “person”.

  In the registration date 23, the date and time when the content data is registered in the content DB 2 is set. In the expiration date 24, a date and time indicating how long the content data is valid is set. In the data 25, the body data of the content data, that is, the three-dimensional data is set if the classification is “person”, and the three-dimensional data is set if the classification is “costume”.

  It is assumed that a predetermined value indicating an indefinite period is set for the expiration date 24 of content data other than “person”. When the category is “person”, the content data is the three-dimensional data of the person, but when registered for the first time, the expiration date is 24 until a predetermined number of days have passed since the date of registration, and the wedding date is determined. Then, the date of the wedding is set as the expiration date 24. For each registered content, the content data is automatically deleted when the expiration date 24 expires.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of member information stored in the member DB 3. As shown in the figure, the member DB 3 has a member number 301, a member name (male) 302, a member name (female) 303, an email address 304, a telephone number 305, a contract date 306, a wedding date 307, a contract presence / absence 308, a password. 309 and simulation result 310 are stored. The member number 301 is a number that is automatically assigned for each couple performing a wedding. For each membership number, the couple's name, email address, and telephone number are registered. The contract date 306 is the date and time when the contract for the wedding at the main hall was made. The contract presence / absence 308 is a flag indicating whether or not a contract has been made (1 indicates that the contract has been completed, and 0 indicates that it has not been completed). When the wedding date is determined, the date and time is set as the wedding date 307.

  Usually, a user who is looking for a wedding hall refers to a predetermined homepage of the wedding hall from the home PC 8 or the mobile terminal 9 or directly visits the wedding hall to know the outline of the wedding hall. The home page that the user first refers to may be provided by either the processing PC 4 or the wedding hall business system 7, but the user can register as a member through the home page. In addition, when visiting a ceremony hall, membership registration can be performed from a terminal installed at the ceremony hall. For example, when registering a member from the home PC 8, as shown in FIG. 3, “000163” is automatically assigned to the member number 301, “Hitachi Grandfather” and the member name (female) to the member name (male) 302, respectively. ) The data entered by the user is set such that “conspicuous grandparent and child” is set in 303, “hitachi@xxxxx.jp” is set in the mail address 304, and “03-xxxx-yyyy” is set in the telephone number 305. The contract presence / absence 308 stores “0”. Since it is before the contract at this stage, the contract date 306 and the wedding date 307 are left blank. By registering as a member, this user is given a password 309 and can log in to the system with the member number 301 and password 309 as user IDs. By logging in, you can receive various services as described below.

  As one of the services provided to the user, there is a simulation service for various types of scenes. In the simulation result 310 column, the result when the user selects a costume or selects various options for simulation (including data such as what costume is selected and what option is selected). Is stored. As will be described in detail later, there is a difference in the provided simulation service depending on whether the contract is completed or not.

  When the member completes the contract with the wedding hall, the contract date 306 and the wedding date 307 are set, and the contract presence / absence 308 is set to “1”. The wedding date 307 may be determined after the contract. When the contract is completed, the modeling data of the couple (that is, the three-dimensional data of the bride and groom's person) is registered in the content DB 2.

  Next, the operation of the system of this embodiment described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3 will be described.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing content creation and registration operations of the present system. This process is executed by the processing PC 4 and the ASP server 1. This process is executed when fetching data such as clothes, flowers, ribbons, etc. prepared in advance by the ceremony hall, and when fetching the three-dimensional data of the bride and groom person whose contract has been completed.

  In step 401, the processing PC 4 uses the Web camera 5 and the 3D camera 6 to photograph content to be captured (person, costume, flower, ribbon, etc.). In step 402, the photographed data is transmitted from the processing PC 4 to the ASP server 1 to request modeling. The modeling unit 11 of the ASP server 1 performs a modeling process using the received shooting data. In step 403, the DB update unit 12 determines whether the content is a person. If it is a person, the member information is retrieved from the member DB 3 in step 404 (when the photographing data is transmitted from the processing PC 4 to the ASP server 1 to request modeling, the member number of the photographed person is also sent together. , Search with the member number), and after confirming that the member is a registered member, register in step 405. If the determination in step 403 is not a person, the DB update unit 12 proceeds to step 405 and registers. In step 405, content data is registered in the content DB2.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the overall operation of the simulation service. This process is executed by the ASP server 1.

  In step 501, the ASP server 1 that has received a connection request from the home PC 8 (the same applies to a connection request from the mobile terminal 9, but will be described below using the home PC 8 as an example) displays a login screen on the home PC 8. indicate. When the user inputs the user ID (membership number) and password on the login screen, the data is received in step 502, and after confirming that the user ID and password are appropriate with reference to the member DB3, in step 503. The member data of the member is acquired from the member DB 3. In step 504, it is determined whether the member has completed the contract. If the contract has been completed, a service for members who have completed the contract is provided in step 505. If the contract is not completed, a service for non-contracted members is provided in step 506.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the operation of the service for contract members in step 505. This process is executed by the simulation unit 13.

  First, in step 601, the logged-in user's person image (three-dimensional data) is acquired from the content DB2. A costume try-on simulation is performed at step 602, a venue is selected at step 603, an option is selected at step 604, and an estimate is calculated at step 605. The process of the costume try-on simulation in step 602 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 8. In short, the 3D data of the costume is synthesized with the 3D data of the user's person image, and the user tries on the costume. Is generated and shown to the user. The venue selection process in step 603 is described in detail with reference to FIG. 9. In short, the venue selection process is a process of showing the user an image of a venue selected by the user from a plurality of selectable venues. The option selection process in step 604 is a process that will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 10. In short, the option selected by the user from various selectable options and a composite image of the venue are generated and shown to the user. The estimate calculation process in step 605 is a process for presenting an estimate of the cost according to the user's selection, as will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

  After step 605, an entire simulation image (moving image) is created at step 606, and the entire simulation image is reproduced at step 607. The entire simulation image is synthesized with the optional decoration selected at step 604 (for example, a flower on the table) and the like at the venue selected at step 603, and further selected at step 602 as the person image of the user. A combination of costumes is placed in the venue to move along the ceremony. An example of the display will be described with reference to FIG.

  After step 607, when a viewpoint switching operation is performed in step 608 or when a reproduction selection operation is performed again in step 609, the process returns to step 606 to reprocess from image creation. When the setting is changed in step 610, the setting is changed in step 613 (FIG. 12), and then the process returns to step 606. When end is selected in step 611, the user logs out in step 612 and the process ends.

  In the process of FIG. 6, the viewpoint can be switched and the setting can be changed not only after the reproduction is completed but also during the reproduction.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the operation of the service for non-contract members in step 506. This process is executed by the simulation unit 13.

  In step 701, a model person image is acquired from the content DB2. For non-contract members, since the person image has not yet been registered in the content DB 2, the image of the user cannot be used. Therefore, a simulation is performed using a model image prepared by the service provider. In step 702, a simple costume fitting simulation is performed. This process is the same process as the costume try-on simulation in step 602, but since it is a non-contract member, the number of costumes that can be tried on is limited to several to differentiate it from contract members. In addition, it is assumed that the entire simulation is performed with a model image wearing the selected costume using predetermined venues and decoration options. Since the range that can be selected by the user is limited, individual estimation processing is not performed. The processing in steps 703 and 704 is the same as that in steps 606 and 607. When the reproduction selection is instructed again in step 705, the process returns to step 703. If end is selected in step 707, logout is performed in step 707, and the process ends.

  Note that the user's selection information may be stored at the time of logout, and a preference plan may be analyzed from the user's selection information to propose a recommended plan for the user.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart of the costume try-on simulation in steps 602 and 702. This process is executed by the simulation unit 13.

  First, in step 801, a costume simulation screen is displayed on the home PC 8 of the connection source user. FIG. 13 shows an example of a costume simulation screen 1300. Reference numeral 1301 denotes a list display of selectable costumes. By clicking the right-pointing triangle mark at the right end of the list display 1301 or the left-pointing triangle mark at the left end, more costume options can be displayed.

  In step 802, when the user clicks (selects) one costume from the list display 1301, the simulation unit 13 that receives the operation instruction synthesizes the costume image selected in step 803. The person image is a person image of the contract member in the process in step 602 of the contract member service, and a person image of a model prepared in advance in the process in step 702 of the non-contract member service. In the process of the non-contract member service, the number of costumes that can be selected on the list display 1301 in FIG. 13 is limited to several.

  After step 803, a try-on simulation display is performed at step 804. 1302 in FIG. 13 is an example of a try-on simulation display. A person image combined with an image of a costume selected by the user is displayed. In step 805, the person image (the center display of the fitting simulation display 1302 in FIG. 13) is dragged up, down, left, and right with the mouse, the person image is rotated in the designated direction in step 806, and redisplayed in step 804. . Thereby, the user can confirm not only how it looks from the front but also what it looks from behind or from the side. In addition, since it is a three-dimensional simulation, it is possible to realistically check how the dress line appears and how the hem widens in the same manner as when trying on, without actually trying on.

  In step 807, when the user clicks the decision button (not shown in FIG. 13), the costume is decided and stored in the simulation result 310 column of the member data of the member.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart for selecting a venue in step 603. This process is executed by the simulation unit 13.

  In step 901, a venue simulation screen is displayed on the home user PC 8 of the connection source user. In this screen, a plurality of venue options are displayed. In step 902, the user selects a venue to be used. In step 903, simulation reproduction of the venue selected by the user is executed. This is to prepare and reproduce a moving image that gives an overview of the venue. When the direction of the venue simulation is changed in step 904, the viewpoint to be reproduced is switched in step 905, and the process returns to step 903. Thereby, the user can confirm the venue with reference from various angles. For example, the atmosphere of the ceremony hall can be confirmed while switching, such as the viewpoint of the bride and groom walking or the frontal viewpoint. When the user clicks the determination button in step 906, it is stored in the field of the simulation result 310 of the member data of the member as having been determined as the venue.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart of option selection in step 604. This process is executed by the simulation unit 13.

  In step 1001, an option simulation screen is displayed on the home PC 8 of the connection source user. In this screen, a plurality of option options are displayed. In step 1002, the user selects an option. In step 1003, the option selected by the user and the venue image are combined. In step 1004, the venue simulation as a result of the synthesis is reproduced. Thereby, the moving image of the hall decorated with ornaments such as flowers and table cloths selected by the user as options is displayed. When the direction of the venue simulation is changed in step 1005, the viewpoint to be reproduced is switched in step 1006, and the process returns to step 1003. This allows you to check the venue from various angles while trying various options. When the user clicks the determination button in step 1007, the selected option is determined to be stored in the simulation result 310 field of the member data of the member.

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart of the estimation calculation in step 605. FIG. 11A is a process executed by the simulation unit 13 of the ASP server 1, and FIG. 11B is a process executed by the wedding hall business system 7.

  First, in step 1101, the simulation unit 13 transmits the version information of the option list currently held by the simulation unit 13 to the business system 7. The option list is a list in which costs of various options are described. Since these expenses are determined by the ceremony hall side, an option list serving as master data is stored in the wedding hall business system 7. On the other hand, the simulation unit 13 holds an option list for reference when performing cost calculation in the simulation unit 13 of the ASP server 1. In order to check whether the option list held in the simulation unit 13 is the latest, the version information is transmitted to the wedding hall business system 7 in step 1101.

  In the wedding hall business system 7, the version information transmitted from the ASP server 1 is received in step 1111. In step 1112, it is determined whether the version is the latest. If it is the latest, a notification indicating that the option list held by the ASP server 1 is the latest is sent to the ASP server 1 in step 1113. If not, the latest version of the option list is transmitted to the ASP server 1 in step 1114.

  In step 1102, the ASP server 1 receives a notification indicating that the option list is the latest or the latest version of the option list from the wedding hall business system 7. When the latest version of the option list is received, the retained option list is replaced with the latest version. In step 1103, the cost is calculated with reference to the option list according to the selected venue, costume, and options. The calculation result is displayed as described later.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart of setting change in step 613. This process is executed by the simulation unit 13 of the ASP server 1.

  In step 1201, an object to be changed is determined. If the costume is to be changed, a costume fitting simulation process (FIG. 8) is performed in step 1202. If the venue is to be changed, venue selection (FIG. 9) processing is performed in step 1203. If the option is to be changed, option selection (FIG. 10) processing is performed in step 1204. After steps 1202 to 1204, processing for estimation (FIG. 11) is performed in step 1205.

  FIG. 14 is an example of reproduction of the simulation screen executed in step 607 of the contract member service process of FIG. 6, and is a display example 1400 of the estimation result. Reference numeral 1405 denotes options for a plurality of scenes along the progress table. When one scene is selected from this list and a playback button 1402 is pressed, the entire simulation playback in that scene is performed on the playback screen 1401. Reference numeral 1407 denotes a viewpoint option, and the viewpoint can be switched here. When the viewpoint is switched, it is possible to return to Steps 608 to 606 in FIG. 6 to create a simulation image at a new viewpoint and reproduce it on the reproduction screen 1401.

  Reference numeral 1406 denotes a venue option. When the venue is changed from here, the process proceeds from step 610 to step 613, and the venue is selected in step 1203 in FIG. 12 (in this case, in step 902 in FIG. 9, the already designated switching destination venue is selected. The entire simulation image is created with the data of the venue of the switching destination and played back. In FIG. 14, buttons for changing costumes and options are not shown. However, when there is an instruction to change costumes or options, the costumes after the change are changed in the same way as changing the venue. And an optional simulation image is created and played back.

  Reference numerals 1408 and 1409 are display examples of cost estimation calculation results. At 1408, the cost for each selected option is displayed. In 1409, the total amount is displayed.

  As described above, the user can grasp an image in each scene of the formula with a three-dimensional simulation image (moving image) while arbitrarily selecting a costume, a venue, and various options. In particular, since it is a three-dimensional simulation image using three-dimensional data obtained by photographing itself, it is possible to check the atmosphere from the viewpoint of the groom or the bride by playing with a different viewpoint. Not only how the bride and groom walking in the dress look from the attendees sitting in the friend's seats and relatives, how they look from the distant seats, how they look from the front While checking, you can check the costumes and decorations of the ceremony hall. Since the user can view such a simulation image from a home PC or mobile terminal, the user can grasp the image of his / her wedding ceremony without visiting the ceremony hall many times. Furthermore, since such an image can be grasped and the cost for each venue, costume, and option selected by the user is clearly presented, there is no distrust in the cost estimate. Since the selection is stored in the member DB, the time for the meeting can be shortened even when the final decision is made by visiting the ceremony hall.

  From the standpoint of the ceremony hall, if a member registers even in a non-contracted state, the member can conduct business activities. By making a difference in service between a simulation that can be performed by a non-contracted member and a simulation that can be performed by becoming a contracted member, it is possible to motivate the non-contracted member to become a contracted member. Since the cost according to the costume, venue, and options selected by the user can be clearly shown along with the simulation result, the reliability of the estimate is not lowered.

  In the above embodiment, the venue, the decorations such as the person, the costume, and the flower have been described by the example expressed by the three-dimensional data. However, if at least the person and the costume are expressed by the three-dimensional data, the costume fitting simulation is performed. Is possible in three dimensions, and the bride and groom are good enough to understand the image of how they look. Therefore, the venue and decorations may be expressed by two-dimensional data instead of three-dimensional data.

  The shape of the venue and decorations are represented by three-dimensional data (in this case, for example, the shape of the flower may be a rough shape as appropriate, such as a hexagonal column or an octagonal column), and the wall color and window of the venue Alternatively, the appearance of the decorative object may be expressed by pasting a two-dimensional image on the inner wall surface of the hall or the outer surface of the decorative object shape. In addition, for the venue and decoration data, a two-dimensional photograph may be used, and each scene may be represented by a still image by combining the two-dimensional photograph and the three-dimensional human data. Even if the background images of the venue, decorations, etc. are expressed in two dimensions, the data of the bride and groom's figures are expressed in three dimensions, so that the costume fitting simulation can be performed in three dimensions. When the background image is expressed in two dimensions, the appearance of the background image when the viewpoint is switched is expressed by background image data for each viewpoint (for example, background image data when viewed from the first viewpoint). Prepare the background image data when viewed from the second viewpoint, ...), arrange the bride and groom image expressed in three dimensions in the background image according to the selected viewpoint, and A simulation image (moving image) may be used. In this case, the final overall simulation image may be a moving image or a still image. In the case of a still image, it is preferable that the flow of the scene is understood by several still images as in a so-called flip book, and in that case, it is better to represent the still image while changing the viewpoint.

  Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the entire simulation image (moving image) created and reproduced in steps 606 and 607 in FIG. 6 and steps 703 and 704 in FIG. 7 is a three-dimensional image of the bride and groom and a three-dimensional background image (the venue and The movement of the bride and groom expressed in three dimensions is simulated using the three-dimensional whole data obtained by synthesizing the decorative object), and the simulation result video data according to the selected viewpoint However, any method for generating the final overall simulation result may be used. In the above embodiment, several viewpoints are prepared in advance, and data corresponding to the viewpoint selected from the viewpoints is generated. However, since the data is represented by three-dimensional data, A method of generating and expressing a still image may be used.

  Furthermore, a method of obtaining 3D data from a 2D image may be used instead of acquiring 3D data by photographing a person or a costume with a 3D camera. Alternatively, three-dimensional data representing a person's shape may be prepared in advance, and a two-dimensional image taken from around the person may be pasted around the three-dimensional data to obtain the three-dimensional data. Further, for example, when a simulation is performed using a two-dimensional image taken from eight directions, a pseudo three-dimensional image that selects and displays one of the images taken from the eight directions according to the viewpoint angle is displayed. It may be data (although not exactly three-dimensional data, the three-dimensional data of the present invention includes such pseudo data).
