Abstract
A transmission type head mounted display device includes an image display unit configured to display an image and causes a user wearing the head mounted display device to visually recognize the image, and to transmit an outside scene; a movement detection unit configured to detect that the head mounted display device moves to a specific place; and a processing control unit configured to change at least a part of predetermined functions mounted on the head mounted display device.
Claims10
A transmission type head mounted display device comprising:
- an image display configured to:
- display an image;
- cause a user wearing the head mounted display device to visually recognize the image;
- and
- transmit an outside scene;
- an outside scene imager configured to image the outside scene;
- a movement detector configured to detect that the head mounted display device moves to a specific place based on a captured image obtained by the outside scene imager;
- and
- a processing controller configured to disable a first image capturing function of the head mounted display device while maintaining operation of a second image capturing function of the head mounted display device that recognizes the outside scene, when movement to the specific place is detected.
A control method of a head mounted display device that includes an image display configured to display an image and causes a user wearing the head mounted display device to visually recognize the image, and to transmit an outside scene, the method comprising:
- detecting that the head mounted display device moves to a specific place based on a captured image obtained by an outside scene imager;
- and
- disabling a first image capturing function of the head mounted display device while maintaining operation of a second image capturing function of the head mounted display device that recognizes the outside scene, when movement to the specific place is detected.
Anon-transitory storage medium containing a program for controlling a head mounted display device that includes an image display configured to display an image and causes a user wearing the head mounted display device to visually recognize the image, and to transmit an outside scene, the program causing a computer to implement functions of:
- detecting that the head mounted display device moves to a specific place based on a captured image obtained by an outside scene imager;
- and
- disabling a first image capturing function of the head mounted display device while maintaining operation of a second image capturing function of the head mounted display device that recognizes the outside scene, when movement to the specific place is detected.
