Abstract
The purpose of this invention is to provide a VRHMD and a system equipped with a VRHMD that can appropriately grasp the surrounding situation even while experiencing a VR space, by determining whether the surrounding situation is that the wearer wants to grasp, even if it is outside the safe activity area of the wearer of the VRHMD (head mounted display for virtual space), and displaying it on the display of the VRHMD according to the result even if it is outside the safe activity area. Also, the purpose is to provide a display method regarding this display.
Claims15
A head mounted display for virtual space comprising:
- a display that displays image,
- a camera that captures real space,
- a distance detector that detects distance to object in real space,
- an image generator that generates image to be displayed on the display,
- a memory that stores the type condition and distance condition of the object to be displayed, and
- a controller, wherein,
- the controller,
- recognizes the type of object from the captured image of the camera,
- extracts object that matches the type condition and distance condition,
- superimposes image of showing extracted object on the image of the virtual space and displays on the display.
A head mounted display system including a camera that captures real space, and a head mounted display for virtual space, wherein,
- the head mounted display, includes,
- a display that displays image,
- a distance detector that detects distance to object in real space,
- an image generator that generates image to be displayed on the display,
- a memory that stores the type condition and distance condition of the object to be displayed, and
- a controller, wherein,
- the controller,
- recognizes the type of object from the captured image of the camera,
- extracts object that matches the type condition and distance condition,
- superimposes image of showing extracted object on the image of the virtual space and displays on the display.
A method of displaying head mounted display performed using a head mounted display for virtual space comprising:
- a memory step stores the type condition and distance condition of the object to be displayed,
- an image generation step generates an image drawing the virtual space,
- a shooting step captures the real space around the head mounted display,
- a distance detection step detects the distance to object in the real space,
- a recognition step recognizes the type of object from the captured image,
- an extraction step extracts object that matches the type condition and distance condition, from the recognized object,
- a superimposed display step superimposes image of showing extracted object on the image of the virtual space and displays.
