HEAD-MOUNTED DISPLAY DEVICE, IMAGE CONTROL METHOD, AND IMAGE CONTROL PROGRAM

摘要

Disclosed is a head-mounted display device which is worn near the head of the viewer and configured so that the image attributed to image light corresponding to image information together with the outside scene attributed to extraneous light is viewed by the viewer. The head-mounted display device is provided with an image capturing unit for capturing an image of the outside scene within the region in which the viewer can view at least the image attributed to the image light, a face detecting unit for detecting a face image of a person from the image of the outside scene captured by the image capturing unit, an overlapping determining unit for determining whether or not the face image overlaps with the image attributed to the image light when the face detecting unit has detected the face image, and a control unit for controlling the position or size of the image attributed to the image light so that the image attributed to the image light does not overlap with the face image when the overlapping determining unit has determined that the face image overlaps the image attributed to the image light.
