An air floating video display apparatus includes: a video display configured to display a video; a retroreflection plate; an imager; and a controller, a light flux reflected by the retroreflection plate forms an air floating video, the controller can set a virtual position of a 3D model, the video display displays a video, a video for stereoscopic viewing is displayed in the air floating video as a real image, and the virtual position of the 3D model set by the controller is a position shifted relative to a position of the air floating video which is a real image formed in air, in a direction opposite to a traveling direction of principal ray when the light flux reflected by the retroreflection plate forms the air floating video.

Air floating video display apparatus

A lighting apparatus with an image-projecting function that is convenient for a user is provided. It includes: an illuminating unit that emits illumination light; a projection-type image display unit that emits image-projecting emission light for projecting an image; and a sensor that emits operation-detecting light for operation detection and that is capable of detecting an operation by an operation object in a range including an image projection area of the projection-type image display unit, and is configured so that the image-projecting light, and the operation-detecting emission light have respective different wavelength distribution characteristics, and regarding a light amount in the wavelength range of light used by the sensor for the operation detection, a light amount of the operation-detecting light is the largest among those of the illumination light, the image-projecting emission light, and the operation-detecting light.

Lighting apparatus

An illuminating apparatus with a video projecting function suitable for a digital signage or the like, which has an excellent video displaying function and better usability for a user is provided. An illuminating apparatus includes: an illumination light source disposed in a housing and configured to generate illumination light; a video projecting apparatus disposed in the housing, the video projecting apparatus being configured to generate video light, the video light from the video projecting apparatus being projected into an illumination light area from the illumination light source; a motion detector configured to detect approach of a human body; and a controller configured to control an operation of at least one or both of the illumination light source and the video projecting apparatus on a basis of a detection signal from the motion detector, the controller being configured to adjust brightness of the illumination light from the illumination light source.

Illuminating apparatus

A lighting apparatus with an image-projecting function that is convenient for a user can be provided. The lighting apparatus includes: an illuminating unit that emits illumination light; and a projection-type image display unit that projects an image. The projection-type image display unit is configured so that a setting menu screen settable about an image displayed by the projection-type image display unit can be displayed.

Provided is a video-image projection function-equipped lighting device more convenient for a user. A lighting device includes a lighting unit () for emitting illumination light, and a projection-type video-image display unit () for projecting a video image. The projection-type video-image display unit () includes a content editing means for editing content of the video image to be displayed.

Lighting device

A lighting apparatus which is held in a state of being suspended from a mounting bracket fixed to a ceiling surface and emits illumination light is provided, and the lighting apparatus includes: an illumination light source for generating the illumination light disposed inside a housing; a projector disposed in an inner space of the housing and configured to project an image onto a projection surface; and a lint disposed in an upper portion inside the housing, wherein an air intake and an air outlet are formed at such positions in the housing that air flow generated by the fan is sucked from a lower portion of the housing, passes upward through a vicinity of the illumination light source and the projector, and is exhausted from the upper portion of the housing.

Provided is a video-image-projecting-function-equipping lighting device having favorable usability for a user. The lighting device has: a lighting unit for emitting illumination light; a projection type video image display unit for projecting a video image; and also a structure of suspending the lighting device from a ceiling surface so as to make its horizontality adjustable, and the projection type video image display unit displays an image for guiding the adjustment of the horizontality.
