A head-mounted device includes a mounted member that is mounted on a head of a user, a sensor unit, which is a detection device, that detects a posture of the mounted member, a control device that switches a control mode according to the posture detected in the sensor unit, and a video output device and an audio output device as output devices that perform output operations according to the control mode in the control device.

Head-mounted device, control method and control program for head-mounted device

A display system including a PC and an HMD, and in the display system, the PC includes an I/F unit configured to output image data, the HMD includes an I/F unit configured to acquire the image data output by the PC, an image display unit configured to superimpose an image on an outside scene visually recognized in a state where the HMD is worn, and to display the image, and a display controller configured to cause the image display unit to display the image data acquired by the I/F unit, and the display controller causes the image display unit to display the image data in correspondence to a position of the PC visually recognized as an outside scene.

Display system, electronic device, and display method

A display system, a display control method for the display system and a non-transitory computer readable recording medium storing a program executable by a computer coupled to the display device are provided. The display system includes an HMD and a smartphone. The HMD includes an image display unit that transmits outside light and displays an image, and a DP illuminance sensor that detects an illuminance of the outside light. The smartphone includes an SP display control unit that adjusts, based on first illuminance information indicating a detection result of the DP illuminance sensor, a brightness of the image displayed by the image display unit, and an SP illuminance sensor that detects the illuminance. The SP display control unit can adjust the brightness of the image, based on second illuminance information indicating a detection result of the SP illuminance sensor.

Display system, display control method, and program

A head-mounted display device includes: an image display unit which is mounted on a head of a user and displays an image in such a way that the user can visually recognize an external scene; a camera; a detection control unit which detects an operation with a pointing element, based on a picked-up image picked up by the camera; and an operation control unit which controls the image on the image display unit, based on the operation detected by the detection control unit. If the pointing element is detected from the picked-up image picked up by the camera, the operation control unit causes the image display unit to display a hand-finger image showing at least one of position and shape of the pointing element.

Head-mounted display device, program, and method for controlling head-mounted display device

A connection device connected to an image display unit that is head-mounted includes a connector to which an image signal is input; and a connector to which an image signal is input and which is capable of outputting sensor data. The connection device further includes a setting unit that sets a selection between the image signals; and an output control unit that selects the connector for outputting the image signal by a connection unit according to the setting. The setting unit sets the image signal to be output from the connection unit when the image signal is input.

Connection device, display device, and control method for the display device

A connection device to which a PC and a head-mounted image display unit that includes a right display unit and a left display unit configured to display an image are connected, the connection device including a control unit configured to control the right display unit and the left display unit to enable execution of functions including a display function of displaying an image input from the PC and a display stop function of stopping display, wherein the control unit activates the image display unit in a display mode based on a display condition when power supply to the connection device is started, and the display mode includes at least a first display mode in which the image is displayed on the right display unit and the left display unit and the display stop function is disabled.

Provided is a display system including a PC and an HMD. The HMD includes an image display unit configured so that an external scenery is visually recognizable, the image display unit being configured to display an image in an overlapping manner with the external scenery and a display control unit configured to cause the image display unit to display an image based on data input from the PC. The display system detects a position of the display unit of the PC with respect to the HMD and adjusts the display in the image display unit when the position of the display unit with respect to the HMD is included in a range of the external scenery visually recognized by the image display unit.

Display system, method of controlling display system, and display device

An HMD worn by a user to use includes a right display unit and a left display unit, an image display section for making a right eye of the user visually recognize an image based on light emitted by the right display unit and making a left eye of the user visually recognize an image based on light emitted by the left display unit, temperature sensors for detecting respective temperatures of the right display unit and the left display unit, and a control section for controlling the luminance of at least either one of the light display unit and the left display unit based on the temperatures detected by the temperature sensors.
