An eyeglass-type wearable device includes a first temple part that is positioned along one temporal region of a user, a second temple part that is positioned along the other temporal region of the user, and a front part that is positioned in front of the face of the user, when the eyeglass-type wearable device is worn by the user. The first temple part includes a first electrical unit, and the second temple part includes a second electrical unit. The front part includes a first connection section to which the first temple part is connected, a second connection section to which the second temple part is connected, and a connection line that electrically connects the first electrical unit of the first temple part and the second electrical unit of the second temple part when the first temple part and the second temple part are connected to the front part.

A control device for a recording system includes a sound acquisition unit, a recording control unit, an item management unit and a presentation control unit. The sound acquisition unit acquires sound data from a sound pickup device. The recording control unit records information based on the sound data as recording information corresponding to one of predetermined items. The item management unit extracts one of the items, in which the recording information has not yet been recorded, as an uninput item. The presentation control unit causes a presentation device to show the uninput item.

An eyeglass-type wearable device includes a first temple part positioned along one temporal region of a user, a second temple part positioned along the other temporal region of the user, and a front part positioned in front of the face of the user, when the eyeglass-type wearable device is worn by the user. The front part includes an electrical unit including an imaging device, and a first and second connection sections to which the first and the second temple parts can be connected, and at least one of the first and the second temple parts includes a temple-side electrical unit. The first and second temple parts can be attached to and removed from the first and second connection sections of the front part. Information about an image captured by the imaging device included in the front part is transmitted from the front part to the temple-side electrical unit.

A support member for a wearable device includes first and second contact portions coming into contact with a temporal region of a head, a frame portion interposed along a frontal region of the head between the first and second contact portions, and first and second connection portions respectively connecting the first and second contact portions and the frame portion to each other. In a top view, in the first connection portion, a first extension portion extending from the first contact portion and a first frame extension portion are branched ahead of an ear from the frame portion, and in the second connection portion, a second extension portion extending from the second contact portion and a second frame extension portion are branched ahead of the other ear from the frame portion. At least one of the first and second frame extension portions includes a support portion supporting a wearable device.

A head-mounted display device includes an eyeglass frame, including a rim, for fixing the head-mounted display device onto a wearer's head, a display that displays an image, and an eyepiece optical unit that guides light of an image displayed on the display into at least one of the wearer's eyes to display the image as an enlarged virtual image. The display and the eyepiece optical unit are attached to the rim, an optical axis of incident light that is image light incident on the eyepiece optical unit from the display and an optical axis of exiting light that is image light exiting from the eyepiece optical unit towards the wearer's eye are not coplanar, and the angle between an incident light vector formed by the incident light and an exiting light vector formed by the exiting light is greater than 90&#xb0;.

Head-mounted display device

A head-mounted display is worn on the head of the user, and allows the user to observe a display image, the head-mounted display including a display section that displays the display image, and a control section that performs a control process that controls the timing at which the display image is displayed on the display section. The control section performs the control process that causes a display period and a non-display period to repeat alternately, and sets one display period to be equal to or less than 600 ms, the display period being a period in which the display image is displayed on the display section, and the non-display period being a period in which the display image is not displayed on the display section.

An information presentation system includes: a display that displays an image as a virtual image so that the image can be observed by the user, and a display control section that causes the display to display information based on a captured image acquired from an imaging section, the imaging section being equipped to the head of the user and capturing a range in the direction of the field of view of the user, when an object recognition range is set to part of an imaging range of the imaging section, the display displaying the virtual image in a virtual image display range, the virtual image display range having such a positional relationship with the object recognition range that at least part of the virtual image display range in which the virtual image is displayed overlaps part of the object recognition range.

An eyeglass-type image display device mounted on an eyeglass frame and has a display element for displaying an image and a light guiding unit for guiding the image light of the image displayed on the display elementis provided, wherein at least the light guiding unit is disposed on a limb unit so as to be displaceable to a first position where the light guiding unit is evacuated from the front of one eyeball of the user and to the second position where the light guiding unit extends to the front of the eyeball and the image light exits therethrough toward the eyeball, thereby enabling compact and light-weight structure, reduction in cost, and further enabling the user to wear the eyeglass frame for a long time without feeling that the eyeglass frame is heavy.
