Abstract
An image generation apparatus increases an adjustment amount of a luminance distribution to a target value B at a time t0 at which an amount of light entering the eyes of a user changes to such a degree that the change has an influence on an action of photoreceptor cells, to thereby cause a head-mounted display to display an image 310b having a luminance increased from that of an original image 310a. The image generation apparatus gradually decreases the adjustment amount of the luminance distribution during a restoration period Δt in such a manner that an image 310c having the original luminance distribution is displayed at a later time t1.
Claims20
An image displaying system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more computer-readable media storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the image displaying system to perform operations comprising:
- detecting, on a basis of predetermined information, a degree of change in an amount of light entering eyes of a user, wherein the degree of change causes a decrease of visibility in an action of photoreceptor cells of the eyes of the user;
- controlling adjustment of a luminance distribution of an image in accordance with a rule corresponding to the degree of change;
- converting a luminance represented by an image value in accordance with the rule;
- and
- outputting data of the image having the converted luminance.
An image displaying method comprising:
- detecting, on a basis of predetermined information, a degree of change in an amount of light entering eyes of a user, wherein the degree of change causes a decrease of visibility in an action of photoreceptor cells of the eyes of the user;
- controlling adjustment of a luminance distribution of an image in accordance with a rule corresponding to the degree of change;
- converting a luminance represented by an image value, in accordance with the rule;
- and
- outputting data of the image having the converted luminance.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising computer program instruction that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform actions comprising:
- detecting, on a basis of predetermined information, a degree of change in an amount of light entering eyes of a user, wherein the degree of change causes a decrease of visibility in an action of photoreceptor cells of the eyes of the user;
- controlling adjustment of a luminance distribution of an image in accordance with a rule corresponding to the degree of change;
- converting a luminance represented by an image value, in accordance with the rule;
- and
- outputting data of the image having the converted luminance.
