Air floating video information display system

An air floating video information display system forming an air floating video in air, comprising:

• a video display apparatus configured to display at least a video of one object;
• a retroreflector configured to form the air floating video in air by retroreflecting video light emitted from the video display apparatus;
• a sensing system configured to include a sensor for detecting a user's operation on the air floating video;
• a housing configured to include the video display apparatus and the retroreflector;
• and
• controller circuitry configured to execute a predetermined processing based on the detected operation,
• wherein, in response to approach of the user to the housing being detected, the controller circuitry is configured to control the video display apparatus to display the video of the object as the air floating video,
• wherein the sensing system is configured to detect a contact position of a finger tip of the user with the air floating video and movement of the finger tip of the user on a plane of the air floating video in a three-dimensional space, based on a sensing plane that is set at a position separate in a depth direction from the air floating video, and
• wherein the controller circuitry is further configured to:
• determine the user to be either a first user who gets used to the operation or a second user who does not get used to the operation, based on authentication of the user or acquisition of attributional information of the user,
• perform a second processing of performing a guidance about the operation to the user by using a concierge serving as a human image displayed on the air floating video if the user is the second user, or
• perform a first processing of causing the concierge to eliminate or simplify the guidance if the user is the first user, and
• change the first processing to the second processing if it is determined in the first processing that the user is performing the operation while the user's operation stops for a longer time than a predetermined time after separation of the finger tip of the user detected by the sensing system from the plane of the air floating video to display both the concierge and an operation menu on the air floating video such that the concierge performs the guidance about the operation of the operation menu.
