The present disclosure provides a display system including a HMD mounted on a head of a user and a smartphone coupled to the HMD. The smartphone includes a touch sensor configured to accept a position input operation to detect coordinates of an operational position, a first sensor configured to detect a motion of the user with respect to the smartphone, and a first execution unit configured to execute personal authentication of the user based on a detection result of the first sensor until the user starts the position input operation.

Head mounted device (HMD) coupled to smartphone executing personal authentication of a user

A head-mounted display apparatus includes an image display unit configured to display an image, a sound output unit configured to output a sound, a mounting state determination unit configured to determine a mounting state of the head-mounted display apparatus, and an image sound output control unit configured to turn ON/OFF display, and turn ON/OFF an output of a sound, based on the mounting state. The image sound output control unit is configured to turn ON display of an image and an output of a sound when the mounting state is the first state, turn OFF display of an image and turn ON an output of a sound when the mounting state is not the first state and is the second state, and turn OFF display of an image and an output of a sound when the mounting state is not the first state and is not the second state.

Head-mounted display apparatus and power saving control program for head-mounted display apparatus

An HMD includes a six-axis sensor, a magnetic sensor, and a head motion detecting section that detect at least one of the position and motion of a head, a reference setting section that sets a reference state based on at least one of the head position and motion detected by the head motion detecting section, and a display controlling section that changes the display state of a content displayed by the display section based on changes in the position and motion of the head with respect to those in the reference state. The content is formed of a plurality of contents, and the display controlling section changes the display state of the contents displayed by an image display section in such a way that the relative display positions of the contents are maintained.

Display apparatus and method for controlling display apparatus

A display system includes an HMD and a control device. The control device can execute switching between a plurality of user interfaces. When the user interfaces are switched without change of display of an image display unit, a notification is made by the control device. When the user interfaces are switched with change of display of the image display unit, a notification is made by the HMD.

Display system, display method, and program

An HMD is coupled to a smart phone. The HMD displays a first image overlapping an external scene in a left display unit, and displays a second image corresponding to the first image overlapping the external scene in a right display unit. The smart phone includes a display panel displaying a third image, a first detector detecting that at least one of the first image and the second image overlaps the third image, and an adjustment unit adjusting, based on a detection result of the first detector, at least one of the first image and the second image such that the third image is visible.

Display system, control program for information processing device, method for controlling information processing device, and display device

A display device includes a display unit, a detection control unit configured to detect a state of a body of the user, an input detection unit configured to receive an input, an application execution unit configured to execute processing when a condition is satisfied, and a display control unit configured to display information about the processing, where the application execution unit executes the processing when the execution instruction is received, the display device includes a learning unit that includes a data set generation unit configured to generate a data set based on a detection result by the detection control unit and an received input, and the learning unit configured to estimate by an estimation model whether the processing is executable, to update the estimation model according to the data set.
