Head-mounted display device

摘要

A head-mounted display device includes an image processing unit configured to perform processing for generating an image, an image display unit including an image-light generating unit configured to generate image light representing the image, the image display unit being configured to enable a user to visually recognize the virtual image and an external image, an image pickup unit provided in the image display unit and configured to pick up an image in a visual field direction of the user, and a position detecting unit configured to specify an external apparatus present in the picked-up image picked up by the image pickup unit and detect a position in the picked-up image of the external apparatus. The image processing unit generates an image in which information concerning the external apparatus is displayed in a position corresponding to the position detected by the position detecting unit.

主权项

1. A head-mounted display device that enables a user to visually recognize a virtual image in a state in which the head-mounted display device is mounted on the head of the user, the head-mounted display device comprising:
an image processing unit configured to perform processing for generating an image; an image display unit including an image-light generating unit configured to generate image light representing the generated image, the image display unit being configured to enable a user to visually recognize the virtual image corresponding to the generated image and an external image; an image pickup unit provided in the image display unit and configured to pick up an image in a visual field direction of the user; and a detecting unit configured to specify an external apparatus visually recognized as the external image, the external apparatus being present in the picked-up image picked up by the image pickup unit, the detecting unit detecting a position in the picked-up image of the specified external apparatus; wherein:
the image processing unit is configured to generate the generated image to be displayed in a position corresponding to the position of the specified external apparatus detected by the detecting unit such that the position of the generated image changes in conjunction with changes in the position of the specified external apparatus detected by the detecting unit, andthe image processing unit is configured to generate the generated image as history information in a position visible to the user when the specified external apparatus is positioned outside the visual field direction of the user.
