Abstract
A method is disclosed for providing a virtual image to a user in a Head-Mounted Display (HMD) device. The method includes detecting an ambient illumination, calculating a target transmissivity of window provided in the HMD device, based on the ambient illumination, adjusting a transmissivity of the window based on the calculated target transmissivity, and providing a virtual image to the user by projecting light to the window from a projector provided in the HMD device.
Claims15
A method for providing a virtual image to a user in a Head-Mounted Display (HMD) device, the method comprising:
- detecting an ambient illumination;
- calculating a target transmissivity of a window provided in the HMD device, based on the ambient illumination;
- adjusting a transmissivity of the window based on the calculated target transmissivity;
- and
- providing a virtual image to the user by projecting light to the window from a projector provided in the HMD device.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having recorded thereon a program for executing a method for providing a virtual image to a user in a Head-Mounted Display (HMD) device, the method comprising:
- detecting an ambient illumination;
- calculating a target transmissivity of a window provided in the HMD device, based on the ambient illumination;
- adjusting a transmissivity of the window based on the calculated target transmissivity;
- and
- providing a virtual image to the user by projecting light to the window from a projector provided in the HMD device.
A Head-Mounted Display (HMD) device comprising a computer-readable storage medium having recorded thereon a program for executing a method for providing a virtual image to a user in a Head-Mounted Display (HMD) device, the method comprising:
- detecting an ambient illumination;
- calculating a target transmissivity of a window provided in the HMD device, based on the ambient illumination;
- adjusting a transmissivity of the window based on the calculated target transmissivity;
- and
- providing a virtual image to the user by projecting light to the window from a projector provided in the HMD device.
A Head-Mounted Display (HMD) device for providing a virtual image to a user, the HMD device comprising:
- a sensor unit configured to detect an ambient illumination;
- a projector configured to project light;
- a window configured to condense and reflect the light projected by the projector and to provide a virtual image formed by the reflected light to the user;
- and
- a controller configured to calculate a target transmissivity of the window corresponding to the detected ambient illumination and adjust a transmissivity of the window according to the target transmissivity.
