By allowing the movement of a user to affect the playback of content, the entertainment characteristic or uplifting spirits derived from content playback itself can be enhanced. The timing at which the user places his/her foot on the ground while walking or the timing at which the user shakes or changes from swinging in one direction to swinging to another direction is detected. Then, content, such as a music piece or moving pictures, is played back by allowing the timing of beats or bars of the music piece or the timing of scene changes or cut changes of the moving pictures to be synchronized with the timing of the movement of the user.

Content playback method and content playback apparatus

A communication method includes the steps of transmitting, by means of a first communication apparatus, personal information to a second communication apparatus; receiving, by means of the second communication apparatus, the personal information and searching, by means of the second communication apparatus, whether or not personal information having the same content as the received personal information exists in the second communication apparatus; and notifying, by means of the second communication apparatus, the first communication apparatus of a search result.

Communication method and apparatus

According to the present disclosure, there is provided a control device including a detection unit configured to detect, as a manipulation region, at least a part of a substantial object present at a position at which a user is estimated to be able to perform a manipulation, a function setting unit configured to perform setting in a manner that a predetermined function matches the manipulation region detected by the detection unit, and a control unit configured to perform the function matched with the manipulation region based on a positional relation between the manipulation region and a manipulator.

Control device and storage medium

An image display device which is used by being mounted on the head or face of a user includes a display unit which displays an image; an information maintaining unit which maintains user information of the user; a region specifying unit which specifies an attention region from a field of vision of the user based on the user information; an image processing unit which performs image processing with respect to the attention region; and a display control unit which displays the attention region after being subjected to the image processing on the display unit.

Image display device, image display method, and computer program

A method of using contents includes the steps of setting public time information and private time information, the public time information being associated with each content and defined universally for use by a large number of unspecified users, the private time being associated with the content and defined for use by a small number of particular persons, and searching for a content according to the public time information and/or the private time information and using the content detected in the searching.

A first-person viewpoint image captured by a camera mounted on a radio-controlled model is displayed on a head mount display and is enjoyed. When a whole-sky image captured by a camera unit that is mounted on a model apparatus is reproduced and displayed with a head mount display, a CPU moves the display field so as to offset the motion of the head of a user detected by a posture/location detecting unit. In this manner, an image that follows the motion of the head of the user is displayed. Meanwhile, on the side of the head mount display, a combined image generated by superimposing an AR image as virtual image information on the actual image in the display field is displayed.

Image display apparatus for displaying an image captured by a mobile apparatus

Provided is an image display device used by being mounted to a head or a face of a user, including a first display unit that displays an internal image seen from a side of the user, a second display unit that displays an external image seen from outside the image display device, and a control unit that controls display of the internal image and the external image.

Wearable image display device to control display of image

There is provided an image display device used by being mounted to a head or a face of a user, the image display device including a display device configured to display an image, a waveguide configured to guide the image to each of a location seen from a side of the user and a location seen from an outside of the image display device, and a control unit configured to control display of an internal image and an external image, the internal image being seen from the side of the user, the external image being seen from the outside.

Image display device

A content reproducing apparatus is disclosed which includes: a sensor; a discrimination circuit configured to discriminate whether a movement of a user is a first movement or a second movement based on a detection output from the sensor; a storage configured to store contents; a reproduction circuit configured to reproduce the contents; and a control circuit configured to supply the reproduction circuit with contents retrieved from the storage in accordance with a discrimination output from the discrimination circuit.

Content reproducing apparatus, audio reproducing apparatus and content reproducing method

A movement supporting method includes the following steps: detecting a movement tempo of a user; determining whether a movement tempo detection value is within a target range; and outputting a warning when the movement tempo detection value is out of the target range.
