Abstract
An HMD includes: an image display unit of a transmissive type that is mounted on a head of a user and configured to transmit light; a display control unit configured to display on the image display unit an image for input at a position overlapping a hand of the user visually recognized through the image display unit; an acquisition unit configured to acquire a detected value of a myoelectric sensor mounted on a hand of the user; and an operation detection unit configured to detect an operation corresponding to the image for input that is displayed by the image display unit, based on the detected value of the myoelectric sensor acquired by the acquisition unit.
Claims10
A display device comprising:
- a display unit of a transmissive type that is mounted on a head of a user and configured to transmit light;
- a display control unit configured to display on the display unit an image for input at a position overlapping a hand of the user visually recognized through the display unit;
- an acquisition unit configured to acquire a detected value of a sensor mounted on the hand of the user;
- and
- an operation detection unit configured to detect an operation corresponding to the image for input that is displayed by the display unit, based on the detected value of the sensor acquired by the acquisition unit,
- wherein
- the image for input includes a plurality of input candidate images,
- the operation detection unit is configured to detect an operation of selecting one input value of the sensor,
- the display control unit is configured to display on the display unit a guide image for guiding a position of the hand of the user,
- the plurality of input candidate images are respectively associated with regions segmented by joints at each finger excluding a thumb of the hand of the user, and
- the operation of selecting the one input candidate image is an operation of pressing the thumb of the hand of the user against any of the regions segmented by the joints.
A display device comprising:
- a display unit of a transmissive type that is mounted on a head of a user and configured to transmit light;
- a display control unit configured to display on the display unit an image for input at a position overlapping a hand of the user visually recognized through the display unit;
- an acquisition unit configured to acquire a detected value of a sensor mounted on the hand of the user;
- and
- an operation detection unit configured to detect an operation corresponding to the image for input that is displayed by the display unit, based on the detected value of the sensor acquired by the acquisition unit,
- wherein
- the sensor includes a myoelectric sensor mounted on a wrist of the user,
- the operation detection unit is configured to identify movement of the hand of the user from a detected value of the myoelectric sensor, and
- the sensor includes a gyro sensor mounted on a finger of the hand of the user.
A method of controlling a display device including a display unit of a transmissive type that is mounted on a head of a user and configured to transmit light, the method comprising:
- a display control step for displaying on the display unit an image for input at a position overlapping a hand of the user visually recognized through the display unit;
- an acquisition step for acquiring a detected value of a sensor mounted on the hand of the user;
- and
- an operation detection step for detecting an operation corresponding to the image for input that is displayed by the display unit, based on the detected value of the sensor acquired in the acquisition step,
- wherein
- the image for input includes a plurality of input candidate images,
- the operation detection step includes detecting an operation of selecting one input candidate image from among the plurality of input candidate images, based on the detected value of the sensor,
- the display control step includes displaying on the display unit a guide image for guiding a position of the hand of the user,
- the plurality of input candidate images are respectively associated with regions segmented by joints at each finger excluding a thumb of the hand of the user, and
- the operation of selecting the one input candidate image is an operation of pressing the thumb of the hand of the user against any of the regions segmented by the joints.
