AUGMENTED REALITY PRESENTING METHOD AND SYSTEM

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an augmented reality presenting method and system for properly presenting the current visual point measurement status to a user during the presentation of augmented reality to the user, and for presenting the fact even when measurement is made invalid. SOLUTION: A measurement possible region where user visual point measurement is made possible by a visual point detection device is preliminarily set in a real world, and a distribution map of noises to be generated in the case of measurement is repeated is formed for the measurement possible region. Then, the measurement status obtained by the visual point detection device at the visual position of the current user is decided based on a noise distribution map by a step S307, and the information showing the current measurement status is presented to the user in a step S308. When the measurement by the visual point detection device is impossible, a user is warned of the fact in a step S306. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
