An information processing apparatus includes a storing section configured to store scenario information and device information associated with the scenario information. The scenario information includes information configured such that another information processing apparatus executes presentation or reception of predetermined information when the other information processing apparatus determines that a predetermined condition is satisfied. The device information includes information representing specifications of hardware of the other information processing apparatus required when the other information processing apparatus executes at least one of the determination that the predetermined condition is satisfied and the presentation or the reception of the predetermined information.

Information processing apparatus, image display apparatus, control method for information processing apparatus and image display apparatus, and computer program

An image processing apparatus includes an external scenery sensor that images at least one target, and an image generation unit that generates a virtual image corresponding to at least one of the targets which are moving among the imaged targets.

Image processing apparatus, control method for image processing apparatus, and computer program

Image processing apparatus, control method for image processing apparatus, and computer program for generating a virtual image corresponding to a moving target

A head mounted display, includes an image display unit enabling the user to visually recognize the virtual image, and an augmented reality processing unit causing the image display unit to form the virtual image including a virtual object displayed additionally to a real object actually existing in the real world, in which the augmented reality processing unit causes the virtual image including the virtual object in a first display aspect to be formed, and then causes the virtual image including the virtual object in a second display aspect to be formed after a predetermined retention time period has elapsed, and in which a degree of the visibility hindrance of the virtual object in the second display aspect for the real object is lower than a degree of the visibility hindrance of the virtual object in the first display aspect for the real object.

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

A projector includes a power source accommodation section and a projection section body. The power source accommodation section is supported by a duct and accommodates a power source circuit that converts electric power supplied from the duct. The projection section body accommodates a projection section that projects an image, and the projection section body is so supported by the power source accommodation section that a direction in which the image is projected is adjustable.

Projector with adjustable support

A projector includes a power receiving terminal, a light source that emits light based on electric power supplied to the power receiving terminal, a light diffuser that adjusts the degree of diffusion of the light from the light source, a specifying section that alternately specifies one of illumination projection and image projection every time electric power supply to the power receiving terminal is started, and a light diffusion controller that controls the light diffuser so that when the specifying section specifies the illumination projection, the light diffuser diffuses the light from the light source, whereas when the specifying section specifies the image projection, the light diffuser transmits the light without substantially diffusing the light.

Projector and method for controlling the same

A projector includes a projection section adapted to project a projection image on a projection surface including a target part, a detection section adapted to detect a distance from a predetermined position to the target part, and a control section adapted to set an area to be projected on the projection surface other than the target part out of the projection image as a partial area based on the distance thus detected, and change a display state of the projection image so that the partial area set is masked.

Projector and projection image control method

A projector can be easily attached by mounting a connecting unit to a socket for illumination in an ordinary home. Since the projector includes a communication unit configured to receive an electronic mail, the projector updates an image signal and adjusts a diffusion degree of modulated light by a light-diffusion adjusting unit on the basis of contents of the mail received by the communication unit. Therefore, when a user desires to inform family members who will return home that the user suddenly has to go out, if the user transmits in advance, to the projector, a mail including a message for a family member who returns home, the family member who returns home turns on an illumination switch at the entrance, whereby the projector can start up, perform an illuminating function, and clearly project and display the message.

Projector and control method therefor

A display device that can be used with another display device, includes: a display unit; a command receiving unit which receives a control command or ID information from an external remote controller; and a command processing unit. The display unit displays the display device's own ID in response to reception of the control command by the command receiving unit. If the command receiving unit receives the ID information indicating the display device's own ID after the display unit starts displaying the display device's own ID, the command processing unit performs processing corresponding to the control command.

Display device and control method for display device

A projector includes a light source; a spatial light modulation device which modulates light from the light source according to an image that is written; a light diffusion device which adjusts a degree of diffusion of the light incident on the spatial light modulation device or the light emitted from the spatial light modulation device; and a light diffusion controller which controls the light diffusion device so that the light diffusion device diffuses the light when the light source starts to light up.

Dual function projector

To provide a projector or the like, which use a solid-state light-emitting element as light source and which provides a bright, stable, and uniform projection image. The present invention includes: a light sourcefor emitting light; a spatial light modulatorfor modulating the light from the light sourcein accordance with an image signal; and a projector lensfor projecting the light modulated by the spatial light modulator. The spatial light modulatoris a tilt mirror device including a movable mirror element that reflects the light from the light sourcein the direction of the projector lensor in the direction other than that of the projector lens. The invention further includes: a light-intensity measuring sectionprovided in an imaging position of the light sourceor in the vicinity of the imaging position for measuring the light intensity of the light reflected in the direction other than that of the projector lens; and a light-source controllerfor controlling the light sourcein accordance with the signal from the light-intensity measuring section
