Abstract
Provided is a head mounted display including a displaying unit to display an image, an image signal processing unit to process an image signal, a display control unit to perform an image quality adjustment of the image signal processed by the image signal processing unit, and to control a display in the displaying unit, a mounting sensor to detect whether an observer has mounted the apparatus, and a control unit to issue an instruction for the image quality adjustment of the image signal in the display control unit, in response to a detection result by the mounting sensor.
Claims9
A head mounted display comprising:
- a displaying unit to display an image;
- an image signal processing unit to process an image signal;
- a display control unit to perform an image quality adjustment of the image signal processed by the image signal processing unit, and to control a display in the displaying unit;
- a mounting sensor to detect whether an observer has mounted the head mounted display;
- and
- a control unit to issue an instruction for the image quality adjustment of the image signal in the display control unit, in response to a detection result by the mounting sensor,
- wherein the control unit issues an instruction to increase luminance of the displaying unit, in response to the mounting sensor detecting that the observer has demounted the head mounted display.
A display control method for a head mounted display, the display control method comprising:
- an image signal processing step of processing an image signal to be displayed on the head mounted display;
- a mounting detection step of detecting whether or not an observer has mounted the head mounted display;
- and
- a luminance adjustment step of performing an adjustment of luminance of the image signal, in response to a detection result in the mounting detection step,
- wherein the adjustment of the luminance corresponds to an increase in the luminance of the image signal, in response to the detection that the observer has demounted the head mounted display.
