Provided is an input device including an exterior member; a light source housed in the exterior member; a tracked portion that is a part of the exterior member and includes a light emitting portion having an outer surface that emits light toward an outside; and a light guide tube that has an incident surface that receives light of the light source and guides the light of the light source to the light emitting portion, in which a curved surface that widens an angle range of light emitted from the outer surface of the light emitting portion is formed at a boundary surface between light media in an optical path from the incident surface of the light guide tube to the outer surface of the light emitting portion.

Input device

Disclosed herein is a camera unit including a camera main body, and a stand configured to support the camera main body, in which the camera main body includes a light receiving section and a main body housing in which the light receiving section is accommodated, the stand includes a first arm portion configured to support the main body housing for pivotal motion such that an orientation in an upward and downward direction of an optical axis of the light receiving section is adjustable, and a second arm portion attached for pivotal motion to the first arm portion, and the main body hosing has a protrusion that projects downwardly at a lower portion of the camera unit in a use state of the camera unit.

Camera unit having a stand and pivotable arms

An input device includes a tracking target section having an outer surface on which a plurality of light emitting sections are provided; a housing constituting the outer surface of the tracking target section; a first substrate which is a rigid substrate disposed inside the housing; at least one light source mounted on a first surface of the first substrate; and a first light guide member that guides light from the at least one light source to positions of the plurality of light emitting sections on the outer surface of the housing.

Convenience and usefulness of a tele-existence system are enhanced taking notice of the possibility by collaboration of tele-existence and a head-mounted display apparatus. A movable member is supported for pivotal motion on a housing. In the housing, a driving motor and a transmission member for transmitting rotation of the driving motor to the movable member are provided. A state information acquisition unit acquires facial expression information and/or emotion information of a user who wears a head-mounted display apparatus. A driving controlling unit controls rotation of the driving motor on the basis of the facial expression information and/or the emotion information.

Robot and housing

A first arc-shaped arm has a first elongated through-hole formed in a longitudinal direction thereof, and a second arc-shaped arm has a second elongated through-hole formed in a longitudinal direction thereof. A pedestal supports the first arc-shaped arm and the second arc-shaped arm for pivotal motion in a crossing relationship with each other. A first motor pivots the first arc-shaped arm, and a second motor pivots the second arc-shaped arm. An insertion member is fitted in the first elongated through-hole and the second elongated through-hole.
