Abstract
An image generating apparatus 10 acquires information associated with a motion of a head of a user wearing a head-mounted display 100. For a period of time for which the head is stopped, the image generating apparatus 10 generates a display image 70 with a standard resolution, and transmits the display image 70 to the head-mounted display 100, so that display images 71 having the same resolution are displayed. For a period of time for which the head is moved, the image generating apparatus 10 generates display images 72 each having the reduced resolution, and the head-mounted display 100 generates display images 73 obtained by enlarging the display images 72.
Claims10
An image generating apparatus, comprising:
- a motion detecting section acquiring information associated with a motion of a head of a user wearing a head-mounted display and deciding presence or absence of the motion;
- a resolution controlling section performing setting in which a resolution of at least a part of a display image is more reduced when there is a motion of the head than when there is no motion of the head;
- an image generating section generating a display image with a resolution following the setting;
- and
- an output section outputting data associated with the display image to the head-mounted display.
(canceled)
An image generating method by an image generating apparatus, comprising:
- acquiring information associated with a motion of a head of a user wearing a head-mounted display and deciding presence or absence of the motion;
- performing setting in which a resolution of at least a part of a display image is more reduced when there is a motion of the head than when there is no motion of the head;
- generating a display image with a resolution following the setting;
- and
- outputting data associated with the display image to the head-mounted display.
A computer program for a computer, comprising:
- by a motion detecting section, acquiring information associated with a motion of a head of a user wearing a head-mounted display and deciding presence or absence of the motion;
- by a resolution controlling section, performing setting in which a resolution of at least a part of a display image is more reduced when there is a motion of the head than when there is no motion of the head;
- by an image generating section, generating a display image with a resolution following the setting;
- and
- by an output section, outputting data associated with the display image to the head-mounted display.
