A head-mounted display device that enables a user to visually recognize a virtual image and an external scene includes an image display unit that causes the user to visually recognize the virtual image and an augmented reality processing unit that forms on the image display unit the virtual image indicating a virtual object which is an object for providing augmented reality to the user and of which the user's visual discomfort is reduced.

Head-mounted display device, control method of head-mounted display device, and display system

An HMD including an image display unit mounted on a user's head to display an image, a right earphone and a left earphone to be installed in the user's right and left ears to output sound based on a sound signal of a right channel for a right ear and a sound signal of a left channel for a left ear, a second communication unit configured to receive a sound signal, and a control unit configured to assign a sound signal for sound associated with a displayed image displayed by the image display unit and the sound signal received by the second communication unit to the left channel and the right channel to output the sound signals as sound.

Head mounted display device, sound transmission system, and control method for head mounted display device

A head-mounted display device with which a user can visually recognize a virtual image includes an image display section configured to cause the user to visually recognize the virtual image, an image acquiring section configured to acquire an outside scene image in a visual field direction of the user in a state in which the head-mounted display device is mounted, and a guiding section configured to guide, with sound, the user to an object of attention, which is at least one real object present in the real world and included in the acquired outside scene image and is a real object to which the user is urged to pay attention.

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

An HMD includes an image display unit that makes a user visually perceive an image, and an control device, capable of being moved independently of the image display unit, which includes a six-axis sensor detecting a movement and a track pad receiving an operation. The HMD controls the display of the image display unit in accordance with the movement detected by the six-axis sensor in a state where the track pad receives an operation.

Display device, method of controlling display device, and program

A head mounted display device is used by being mounted on a body of a user and includes an image display unit through which outside scenery is transmitted and which displays an image such that the image is visually recognizable together with the outside scenery. Further, the head mounted display device includes a right headphone and a left headphone outputting a sound. Further, the head mounted display device includes a target detection unit that detects a target of the user in the visual line direction; a distance detection unit that detects a distance between the detected target and the user; and an information output control unit that controls the output of the sound of the right headphone and the left headphone according to the detected distance.

A transmission type head-mounted display device includes a sound acquiring unit configured to acquire sound on the outside, a sound identifying unit configured to identify specific sound in the acquired sound, an image display unit capable of displaying an image and capable of transmitting an outside scene, an image storing unit configured to store an execution function image representing a function executable by the head-mounted display device and a specific sound image associated with the specific sound, a display-image setting unit configured to cause the image display unit to display a combined image obtained by combining the execution function image and the specific sound image, and a function executing unit configured to execute a function corresponding to the execution function image combined with the specific sound image associated with the acquired specific sound.

Head-mounted display device, control method for head-mounted display device, and computer program

A head mounted display device includes an image display unit that allows a user to visually recognize an image and through which outside scenery is transmitted and a microphone that detects a voice. In addition, the head mounted display device further includes a data acquisition unit that acquires data and an additional data display control unit that allows the image display unit to display an image based on the voice detected by the microphone and the data acquired by the data acquisition unit when the outside scenery is visually recognized by the user through the image display unit.

Display device, method of controlling display device, and program having display of voice and other data

A head mounted display is worn on the body of a user before use and includes an image display unit that transmits an outside scene and displays an image in a visually recognizable manner along with the outside scene and a camera that performs image capturing in directions of sight lines of the user. A control section of the head mounted display includes an image generation section that generates a display image from a captured image from the camera and an image display control section that causes the image display unit to display the display image generated by the image generation section.

Display apparatus, method for controlling display apparatus, and program

An information processing device includes an information acquisition unit that acquires at least one of specific information regarding an environment where the information processing device is used, biological information of a user who uses the information processing device, and control information for controlling the information processing device, and a control unit that controls the information processing device on the basis of at least one of the acquired specific information, biological information, and control information.

Information processing device and control method for information processing device

A head-mounted display device includes an image display unit which displays an image. The head-mounted display device includes: a microphone unit including an audio input unit which converts a sound into an electrical signal and capable of switching a position of the audio input unit between a plurality of positions; a position determination unit which determines which position of the plurality of positions the audio input unit is located at; and a mode switching control unit which switches an operation of the audio input unit and a display mode of the image display unit, respectively, on the basis of the determined position.

Head-mounted display device, control method for the same, and computer program

A transmissive display device includes an image display section adapted to generate image light representing an image, allow a user to visually recognize the image light, and transmit an external sight, a sound acquisition section adapted to obtain a sound, a conversion section adapted to convert the sound into a character image expressing the sound as an image using characters, a specific direction setting section adapted to set a specific direction, and a display position setting section adapted to set an image display position, which is a position where character image light representing the character image is made to be visually recognized in a visual field of the user, based on the specific direction.
