Abstract
According to the disclosed embodiments, virtualized information of a three-dimensional position for a position selected by the user is provided so that the user can place virtual content at an accurate position when authoring AR content. According to an embodiment, an apparatus for generating point cloud data includes a hardware processor to implement a feature point extractor to extract feature points from images obtained by capturing a three-dimensional region, a point cloud data generator to generate point cloud data related to the three-dimensional region on the basis of the extracted feature points, an overlay image display to display the generated point cloud data by overlaying the point cloud data on a currently captured image, and a three-dimensional position determiner to determine a three-dimensional position for a position selected by a user in the image.
