Head-mounted display device, computer program, and control method for head-mounted display device

A non-transitory, computer readable medium having a computer program stored thereon, the computer program executed by a computer mounted on a head-mounted display including:

• a display section configured to display an image in a display region to be transmitted through an outside scene and recognizable together with the outside scene;
• and a processor configured to act as detecting section configured to detect a pointer associated with a motion of the user in a region including at least a range in which the image is transmitted through the display section, the head-mounted display device being mounted on a head of the user,
• the computer program causing the computer to execute:
• a procedure for causing the display section to display, in the display region, an image indicating a detection state in which the detecting section detects the pointer;
• and
• a procedure for causing the display section to display a candidate of input content corresponding to at least any one of a movement, a shape, and a position of the pointer detected by the detecting section,
• wherein the candidate is displayed when at least one of the following occurs:
• (a) the shape of the pointer detected by the detecting section keeps a same shape for a preset time or more;
• (b) the position of the pointer detected by the detecting section overlaps a preset position;
• or
• (c) the pointer detected by the detecting section corresponds to a preset condition where the pointer is matched with a registration dictionary.

A control method for a head-mounted display including:

• a display section configured to display an image in a display region to be transmitted through an outside scene and recognizable together with the outside scene;
• and a detecting section configured to detect a pointer associated with a motion of the user in a region including at least a range in which the image is transmitted through the display section, the head-mounted display device being mounted on a head of the user, the control method comprising:
• causing the display section to display, in the display region, an image indicating a detection state in which the detecting section detects the pointer;
• and
• causing the display section to display a candidate of input content corresponding to at least any one of a movement, a shape, and a position of the pointer detected by the detecting section,
• wherein the candidate is displayed when at least one of the following occurs:
• (a) the shape of the pointer detected by the detecting section keeps a same shape for a preset time or more;
• (b) the position of the pointer detected by the detecting section overlaps a preset position;
• or
• (c) the pointer detected by the detecting section corresponds to a preset condition where the pointer is matched with a registration dictionary.

A head-mounted display device mounted on a head of a user, the head-mounted display device comprising:

• a display section configured to display an image in a display region to be transmitted through an outside scene and recognizable together with the outside scene;
• and
• a processor configured to act as:
• a detecting section configured to detect a pointer associated with a motion of the user in a region including at least a range in which the image is transmitted through the display section;
• and
• a display control section configured to cause the display section to display, in the display region, an image indicating a detection state in which the detecting section detects the pointer and cause the display section to display a candidate of input content corresponding to at least any one of a movement, a shape, and a position of the pointer detected by the detecting section,
• wherein the display control section causes the display section to display, as the image indicating the detection area, an image indicating a detection area where a pointer including a left hand of the user is detected and an image indicating a detection area where a pointer including a right hand of the user is detected.

A head-mounted display device mounted on a head of a user, the head-mounted display device comprising:

• a display section configured to display an image in a display region to be transmitted through an outside scene and recognizable together with the outside scene;
• and
• a processor configured to act as:
• a detecting section configured to detect a pointer associated with a motion of the user in a region including at least a range in which the image is transmitted through the display section;
• and
• a display control section configured to cause the display section to display, in the display region, an image indicating a detection state in which the detecting section detects the pointer and cause the display section to display a candidate of input content corresponding to at least any one of a movement, a shape, and a position of the pointer detected by the detecting section,
• wherein
• the detecting section detects, as the pointer, a first pointer including a left hand of the user and a second pointer including a right hand of the user, and
• the display control section causes the display section to display, in the display region, a first operation image set as a target of operation of the first pointer detected by the detecting section and a second operation image set as a target of operation of the second pointer detected by the detecting section.

A head-mounted display device mounted on a head of a user, the head-mounted display device comprising:

• a display section configured to display an image in a display region to be transmitted through an outside scene and recognizable together with the outside scene;
• and
• a processor configured to act as:
• a detecting section configured to detect a pointer associated with a motion of the user in a region including at least a range in which the image is transmitted through the display section;
• a display control section configured to cause the display section to display, in the display region, an image indicating a detection state in which the detecting section detects the pointer and cause the display section to display a candidate of input content corresponding to at least any one of a movement, a shape, and a position of the pointer detected by the detecting section;
• and
• a control-information output section configured to output control information to an external device according to at least any one of the movement, the shape, and the position of the pointer detected by the detecting section, wherein
• the detecting section detects, as the pointer, a first pointer including a left hand of the user and a second pointer including a right hand of the user, and
• the control-information output section outputs the control information including at least one of first information corresponding to operation of the first pointer detected by the detecting section and second information corresponding to operation of the second pointer detected by the detecting section.
