An information processing apparatus including a processor configured to detect a connection to each of a first and second image display apparatus, generate a first image based on first medical apparatus information acquired from a first medical apparatus and a second image based on second medical apparatus information acquired from a second medical apparatus, detect an object from an outside scene that is captured by both the first and second image display apparatuses, and acquire a first distance from the first image display apparatus to the object and a second distance from the second image display apparatus to the object. When the first distance is smaller than the second distance, the processor causes the first image display apparatus to display the first image at a first size that is greater than a second size of the first image displayed at the second image display apparatus.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and information processing system

An information processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit that acquires plural pieces of medical apparatus information which are plural pieces of information acquired from a plurality of medical apparatuses; a generation unit that generates presentation information which contains at least a part of the plural pieces of medical apparatus information acquired by the acquisition unit; and a presentation unit that outputs the generated presentation information to a plurality of image display apparatuses.

A head-mount type display device includes an image display device adapted to allow a user to visually recognize an image in a state of being mounted on a head of a user, a detection section disposed in the image display device and adapted to detect biological information of the user, a control section adapted to perform control of the image visually recognized by the user using the image display device, and an annunciation section adapted to inform the user of image control information as information related to the control of the image based on a variation in the biological information detected.

An ultrasonic device includes a substrate, a first piezoelectric body, a second piezoelectric body, and an acoustic matching section. The substrate has a first surface that is a flat surface. The first piezoelectric body is disposed on the first surface of the substrate. The second piezoelectric body is disposed on the first surface of the substrate. The second piezoelectric body has a different thickness from a thickness of the first piezoelectric body as measured from the first surface of the substrate. The acoustic matching section is disposed on the first piezoelectric body and the second piezoelectric body. The acoustic matching section has a first side facing the first piezoelectric body and the second piezoelectric body, and a second side opposite from the first side. A surface of the acoustic matching section on the second side is a flat surface parallel with the first surface of the substrate.

An information processing apparatus includes an acquiring unit that acquires a plurality of kinds of medical apparatus information, which are information acquired from a plurality of medical apparatuses, a generating unit that generates information for presentation including at least a part of the plurality of kinds of medical apparatus information acquired by the acquiring unit, and a presenting unit that outputs the generated information for presentation to an image display apparatus that displays an image. The generating unit generates the information for presentation including at least the medical apparatus information acquired by the medical apparatus, visual recognition of a display unit of which by a user of the image display apparatus is difficult.

A head mounted display includes an image display unit having an image light generation unit that generates image light based on image data and outputs the image light, the image display unit not only allowing a user who wears the image display unit around user's head to recognize the image light in the form of a virtual image but also transmitting a surrounding scene, and a control unit that compares an index set based not only on luminance of initial image light generated based on initial image data that is original image data but also on illuminance of the transmitted surrounding scene with a first threshold set in advance and causes the image light generation unit to generate display image light that differs from the initial image light in that at least part of the luminance thereof is changed based on a result of the comparison.
