Abstract
A transmission type head mounted display device includes a distance measuring unit that measures a distance to a specific point in an outside scene, an image display unit that is capable of transmitting the outside scene and displays an image, and an image setting unit that controls the image display unit such that the image can be stereoscopically displayed at the position of measured distance, and in a case where the measured distance is changed, sets the image stereoscopically displayed at the position of the distance measured before the change as the image to be stereoscopically displayed at the position of the distance measured after the change over a time longer than a time required for the measured distance be changed.
Claims11
A transmission type head mounted display device comprising:
- a processor that is configured to serve at least as:
- a distance measuring unit that measures a distance to a specific point in an outside scene;
- an image display unit that is capable of transmitting the outside scene and displays an image;
- and
- an image setting unit that controls the image display unit such that the image can be stereoscopically displayed at a position of measured distance, and in a case where the measured distance is changed, sets the image stereoscopically displayed at the position of the distance measured before the change as the image to be stereoscopically displayed at the position of the distance measured after the change over a time longer than a time required for the measured distance to be changed.
A control method for a head mounted display device including an image display unit that is capable of transmitting the outside scene and displays an image, the method comprising:
- measuring a distance to a specific point in an outside scene;
- and
- controlling the image display unit such that the image can be stereoscopically displayed at a position of measured distance, and in a case where the measured distance is changed, setting the image stereoscopically displayed at the position of the distance measured before the change as the image to be stereoscopically displayed at the position of the distance measured after the change over a time longer than a time required for the measured distance to be changed.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising a computer program for a transmission type head mounted display device including an image display unit that is capable of transmitting the outside scene and displays the image, the program causing the computer to implement:
- a function of measuring a distance to a specific point in an outside scene;
- a function of controlling the image display unit such that the image can be stereoscopically displayed at a position of measured distance, and in a case where the measured distance is changed, setting the image stereoscopically displayed at the position of the distance measured before the change as the image to be stereoscopically displayed at the position of the distance measured after the change over a time longer than a time required for the measured distance to be changed.
