Abstract
A head-mounted display (HMD) 1, which is operated by a gesture operation performed by a user 3, is provided with a distance image acquisition unit 106 that detects a gesture operation, a position information acquisition unit 103 that acquires position information of the HMD 1, and a communication unit 2 that performs communication with another HMD 1′. A control unit 205 sets and displays an operating space 600 where a gesture operation performed by the user 3 is valid, exchanges position information and operating space information of the host HMD 1 and the other HMD 1 therebetween by the communication unit 2, and adjusts the operating space of the host HMD so that the operating space 600 and an operating space 600′ of the other HMD 1 do not overlap each other.
Claims5
A display apparatus comprising:
- a display configured to display an operation object and an image as a mixed reality object;
- a communication interface configured to communicate with another apparatus;
- and
- a controller;
- wherein the controller is configured to control an operating space including a gesture space in which a gesture operation of a user of the display apparatus may be performed,
- wherein the display is configured to display the image and the operating space as the mixed reality object,
- wherein the communication interface is configured to acquire a position information for the display apparatus,
- wherein the communication interface is configured to communicate the another apparatus to acquire information of a position and an operating space of the another apparatus, the operating space of the another apparatus including a gesture space in which a gesture operation of a user of the display apparatus may be performed,
- wherein the controller is configured to determine whether the operating space of the display apparatus overlaps with the operating space of the another apparatus based on information for the position information and the operating space of both the display apparatus and the another apparatus,
- wherein the controller is configured to control the operating space of the display apparatus to not overlap the operating space of the another apparatus, if the operating space of the display apparatus overlaps with the operating space of the another apparatus, and control to display the operation object inside the operating space,
- wherein, if the operating space of the display apparatus overlaps with the operating space of the another apparatus, the controller is configured to calculate a change of the operating space of the display apparatus which does not overlap the operating space of the another apparatus,
- wherein the controller is configured to control the operating space of the display apparatus based on the calculated change, and
- wherein, if it is unavoidable that the gesture space of the display apparatus overlaps with the gesture space of the another apparatus even when performing calculation of the change of the operating space, the controller is configured to give a notification indicating that an operation by a gesture is not accepted.
