Provided is a sound output device communicatively coupled to an information processing device, that includes a mounting portion configured to mount the sound output device on a human body, a plurality of sound output units configured to perform operation for outputting information indicating sound, or sound, and a control unit configured to, when the sound output device is coupled to the information processing device, enable operation of one or more first sound output units that are predetermined among the plurality of sound output units, and disable operation of one or more sound output units other than the one or more first sound output units among the plurality of sound output units.

Sound output device, sound output system, and control method

A wearable image display device includes: a wearing member worn on a head of a user; a supporting member configured to support a display device that displays video; a coupling member that is coupled to the wearing member and the supporting member and that is configured to move the display device and the like from a first position enabling the user to visually recognize the video to a second position; and a control device configured to control an output of sound output from a speaker disposed at the supporting member. The control device makes the sound output from the speaker when the display device and the like are located in the second position louder than the sound output from the speaker when the display device and the like are located in the first position.

Wearable image display device

A HMD including an image display that notifies detection of an abnormality, a DP six-axis sensor that detects whether the image display unit is mounted, and a DP control unit that executes a first reboot mode for rebooting the HMD in accordance with a first order when mounting of the image display unit is not detected and the abnormality of the HMD is detected, and a second reboot mode for rebooting the HMD in accordance with a second order when mounting of the image display unit is detected and the abnormality of the HMD is detected.
