Head-mounted display device, method of controlling the same, and computer program

A method of controlling a head-mounted display device equipped with a display through which light from an external world can be visually recognized through, the method comprising:

• obtaining an image captured by a camera;
• of at least a predetermined range out of the external world visually recognized in a see-through manner;
• determining, out of the captured image, a partial image of a predetermined range out of the external world visually recognized in a see-through manner, which corresponds in position to a display position of a predetermined image;
• determining whether or not a color difference between a color related to the partial image and a display color of the predetermined image is smaller than a predetermined color difference value;
• and
• in a case in which the at least one processor or circuit determines that the color difference between the color related to the partial image and the display color is smaller than the predetermined color difference value:
• (i) correcting visibility of the predetermined image in accordance with color information related to the determined partial image, and (ii) controlling the display to display the corrected predetermined image so as to be superimposed on the external world visually recognized in the see-through manner.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor of a head-mounted display device equipped with a display through which light from an external world can be transmitted through, controls the processor of the head-mounted display device to:

• obtain an image captured by a camera;
• determine, out of the captured image, a partial image of a predetermined range out of the external world visually recognized in a see-through manner, which corresponds in position to a display position of a predetermined image;
• determine whether or not a color difference between a color related to the partial image and a display color of the predetermined image is smaller than a predetermined color difference value;
• and
• in a case in which the at least one processor or circuit determines that the color difference between the color related to the partial image and the display color is smaller than the predetermined color difference value:
• (i) correct visibility of the predetermined image in accordance with color information related to the determined partial image, and (ii) control the display to display the corrected predetermined image so as to be superimposed on the external world visually recognized in the see-through manner.
