  The present invention relates to a 3D viewer used for viewing a parallax image, and a method for providing a parallax image using the 3D viewer.

  Conventionally, a 3D viewer that is attached to a display device such as a smartphone and used to view a parallax image displayed on the display device is known. Such a 3D viewer includes, for example, two lenses and a support member that holds the two lenses at a position away from the display unit of the display device by a predetermined distance. On the display unit of the display device, a parallax image for the right eye and a parallax image for the left eye having a difference according to binocular parallax are displayed side by side, and the user parallax image for the right eye with the right eye through the lens of the 3D viewer And the left eye sees the parallax image for the left eye. As a result, the user perceives a stereoscopic effect corresponding to the difference between the parallax image seen by the right eye and the parallax image seen by the left eye, and the user can see the target included in the image stereoscopically (for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2). reference).

JP2013-190450A Registered Utility Model No. 3185458

By the way, the region viewed from the right eye through the lens includes a right-eye parallax image and its peripheral region, and the region viewed from the left eye through the lens includes a left-eye parallax image and its peripheral region. Such a peripheral region includes, for example, a structure such as an edge of the display device and a part of a 3D viewer adjacent to the edge. As described above, when an image that is different from the image is included in the region that the user is viewing, the user's consciousness deviates from the parallax image, and the user's sense of immersion in the content provided as the parallax image is reduced. To do.
An object of this invention is to provide the 3D viewer which can raise a user's immersive feeling, and the provision method of a parallax image.

  A 3D viewer for solving the above problems is a right lens, a left lens, and a right partition plate section that partitions a right space facing the right lens, and a right-eye parallax image output from a display device is the right The right partition plate portion configured to be displayed toward the right lens through the space, and the left partition plate portion partitioning the left space facing the left lens, and the parallax for the left eye output from the display device The left partition plate portion configured to display an image toward the left lens through the left space, and at least one of the right space and the left space is a target space, and is positioned in the target space And a reflection unit that reflects a part of an image displayed through the target space when viewed from a lens facing the target space.

  According to the above configuration, when the user peeks into the right space through the right lens and peeks into the left space through the left lens, the region that is visible to the user has a reflecting portion in at least one of the right space and the left space. enter. In the reflection portion, a part of at least one of an image seen from the right lens through the right space and an image seen from the left lens through the left space is reflected. Since the reflection part on which a part of the image is reflected is regarded as an image having the same quality as the image, it is possible to suppress an area that is visible to the user from containing an image that is different from the image displayed on the display device. Therefore, since the user's consciousness is prevented from deviating from the parallax image, the user's feeling of immersion in the content provided as the parallax image is enhanced.

  In the 3D viewer, the direction in which the right lens and the left lens are arranged is the left-right direction, the direction orthogonal to the left-right direction is the up-down direction, and the reflecting portion is from the middle of the up-down direction in the target space. May be positioned at least on the lower side.

  According to the above configuration, when the user views the parallax image, the reflection unit is positioned on the lower side as viewed from the user. Therefore, since the reflection part in which a part of the image is reflected is located in an area that easily enters the user's field of view, the area that is visible to the user includes an image that is different from the image displayed by the display device. It can be suppressed. As a result, the user's immersive feeling can be accurately enhanced.

  In the 3D viewer, each of the right space and the left space is the target space, and the reflection portion includes a right reflection portion having a cylindrical shape along an inner surface of the right partition plate portion, and the left space. And a left reflecting portion having a cylindrical shape along the inner side surface of the partition plate portion.

  According to the above configuration, since the reflecting portion has a cylindrical shape and is arranged along the inner side surface of each partition plate portion, when the user views the parallax image using the 3D viewer, the whole of the direction surrounding the right space In addition, a reflection portion in which a part of the image is reflected is located over the entire direction surrounding the left space. Accordingly, since it is possible to more accurately suppress an image that is different from the image displayed by the display device in a region that is visible to the user, the user's immersive feeling can be improved more accurately.

  The 3D viewer further includes a partition portion located inside the reflection portion in the target space, a gap is formed between the reflection portion and the partition portion, and is viewed from a lens facing the target space. Then, the reflection unit may project an image displayed through the gap.

According to the above configuration, when the user views the parallax image, the image that is located in the gap between the partition unit and the reflection unit in the image displayed by the display device when viewed from the direction facing the parallax image is the reflection unit. Reflected in. In other words, it is possible to set the part reflected in the reflection part in the image displayed by the display device by the partitioning part. Therefore, it is also possible to set an image included in an area visible to the user by the 3D viewer so that the user's immersive feeling is further enhanced.
The said 3D viewer WHEREIN: The said partition part may be comprised so that the advancing direction of the light toward the said partition part from the said gap may be changed toward the said reflection part.
According to the above configuration, it is possible to increase the intensity of the light reflected by the reflecting unit, and the image displayed by the display device is easily reflected on the reflecting unit.

  A parallax image providing method for solving the above problem is a parallax image providing method for providing a parallax image by displaying a parallax image for a right eye and a parallax image for a left eye on a display device housed in a 3D viewer. is there. The display device includes a display unit that displays an image including the parallax image for the right eye and the parallax image for the left eye, and a control unit that controls display of the display unit. The 3D viewer is a right partition plate section that partitions a right lens, a left lens, and a right space facing the right lens, and the parallax image for the right eye is displayed toward the right lens through the right space. A right partition plate portion configured to divide a left space facing the left lens, and the parallax image for the left eye is displayed toward the left lens through the left space. From the lens facing the target space, the left partition plate portion configured to be at least one of the right space and the left space is a target space, and is a reflecting portion located in the target space. And the reflection unit that reflects a part of an image displayed through the target space. The parallax image providing method includes: the control unit displaying the parallax image for the right eye on the display unit; the control unit displaying the parallax image for the left eye on the display unit; And at least one of the left-eye parallax image and the left-eye parallax image is a target parallax image, and the control unit causes the display unit to display a peripheral image located in at least a part of a region surrounding the target parallax image. The peripheral image includes an image projected on the reflection unit and an image for guiding a line of sight to the target parallax image.

  According to the above method, when the user peeks into the right space through the right lens and peeks into the left space through the left lens, the region that is visible to the user has a reflecting portion in at least one of the right space and the left space. enter. Then, a peripheral image for guiding the line of sight to the adjacent parallax image for the right eye or the parallax image for the left eye is displayed in the portion reflected in the reflection unit. By reflecting such a peripheral image on the reflection part, the user's line of sight is guided to the parallax image for the right eye or the parallax image for the left eye in a part of the peripheral image, and the peripheral image and the reflection part stand out to attract the user's attention. Attracting is suppressed. As a result, an image that is different from the image displayed on the display device is suppressed from being included in the region that is visible to the user, and the user's consciousness is easily concentrated on the parallax image for the right eye and the parallax image for the left eye. Therefore, it is possible to accurately suppress the user's consciousness from deviating from these parallax images. Therefore, the user's immersion feeling in the content provided as such a parallax image is enhanced.

  In the parallax image providing method, the control unit has, as the peripheral image, a color that depends on a color of a portion adjacent to the peripheral image in the target parallax image, and has a color that is higher than that of the adjacent portion. It may include displaying an image whose change is gradual on the display unit.

  According to the above method, the image displayed on the reflection unit of the image displayed by the display device has an atmosphere that is similar in color to the adjacent right-eye parallax image and left-eye parallax image, and these images. The peripheral image whose color change is more gradual than that is displayed. By reflecting such a peripheral image on the reflection part, in a certain part of the peripheral image, the image continues naturally from the parallax image for the right eye and the parallax image for the left eye to the peripheral image and the reflection part on which the peripheral image is reflected. In addition, it is possible to suppress the peripheral image and the reflection part from being noticeable and attracting the user's attention. As a result, it is possible to more accurately suppress the user's consciousness from deviating from the right-eye parallax image or the left-eye parallax image, thereby further enhancing the user's immersive feeling.

  In the parallax image providing method, the 3D viewer further includes a partition portion that is located inside the reflection portion with a gap from the reflection portion in the target space, and is viewed from a lens facing the target space. The image displayed through the gap may be the peripheral image, and the reflection unit may display the peripheral image.

  According to the above method, the right-eye parallax image and the left-eye parallax image are suppressed from being reflected in the reflection unit, and the periphery for guiding the line of sight to the adjacent right-eye parallax image and left-eye parallax image The image is reflected on the reflection part. Therefore, it is possible to accurately suppress the reflection part on which the image is reflected and attract the user's attention. As a result, the user's consciousness can be more accurately prevented from deviating from the right image and the left image, and the user's immersive feeling is further enhanced.

As illustrated in FIG. 6, the display device 30 includes a communication unit 31, a display unit 32, a control unit 33, and a storage unit 34, and is embodied in a mobile terminal such as a smartphone.

  The communication unit 31 performs a connection process between the display device 30 and an external device such as a server through the network, and transmits and receives data between the display device 30 and the external device.

  The display unit 32 is embodied as a display, for example, and has the display surface 30a. The display unit 32 displays an image on the display surface 30a based on the data received from the control unit 33.

The control unit 33 includes a volatile memory such as a CPU and a RAM, and controls each unit of the display device 30 based on a program and data stored in the storage unit 34. Specifically, the control unit 33 causes the display unit 32 to display an image based on data stored in the storage unit 34 or data received by the communication unit 31 from an external device.
The storage unit 34 is composed of a non-volatile memory such as a flash memory, and stores programs and data necessary for the processing of the control unit 33.

Note that the display device 30 is not limited to a smartphone as long as the control unit 33 has a function of causing the display unit 32 to display an image. For example, the display device 30 may be a music player or the like, and specializes in image display. It may be a device that has been used. Further, the display device 30 may not include the communication unit 31 as long as the control unit 33 is configured to display an image on the display unit 32 based only on the data stored in the storage unit 34.
With reference to FIG. 7, the image which the control part 33 of the display apparatus 30 displays on the display part 32 is demonstrated.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the display surface 30a of the display unit 32 has a substantially rectangular shape. Based on the data received from the control unit 33, a right parallax image IR that is a parallax image for the right eye and a left parallax image IL that is a parallax image for the left eye are displayed on the display surface 30a. The right parallax image IR and the left parallax image IL are arranged side by side in the direction in which the display surface 30a extends. The right parallax image IR is disposed on the right side when viewed from the direction facing the display surface 30a, and the left parallax image IL is disposed on the left side when viewed from the direction facing the display surface 30a.

In the first embodiment, the right parallax image IR is displayed on the entire right region DR, which is one of the regions divided in the extending direction of the display surface 30a, and the left parallax image IL is the other of the two divided regions. Is displayed on the entire left area DL. That is, when viewed from the direction facing the display surface 30a, the right region DR is a region disposed on the right side, and the left region DL is a region disposed on the left side.
The right parallax image IR and the left parallax image IL may be a still image or a moving image, and have a difference according to the binocular parallax.

[Configuration of parallax image providing apparatus]
As described above, the display device 30 is stored in the storage space Sp of the 3D viewer 10, whereby a parallax image providing device including the 3D viewer 10 and the display device 30 is configured.
With reference to FIG. 8, the positional relationship between the display surface 30a of the display device 30 and the reflection units 20 and 21 of the 3D viewer 10 in the parallax image providing device will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 8, in the parallax image providing apparatus 40, the right region DR of the display surface 30a is disposed at a position facing the right space SvR of the 3D viewer 10 when viewed from the direction facing the display surface 30a. The left area DL of the display surface 30a is disposed at a position facing the left space SvL of the 3D viewer 10.

  When viewed from the direction facing the display surface 30a, the middle plate portion 19 is disposed at the boundary between the right region DR and the left region DL of the display surface 30a, and the right reflecting portion 20 is disposed at a position surrounding the right region DR. The left reflecting portion 21 is arranged at a position surrounding the left region DL. When viewed from the direction facing the display surface 30a, it is preferable that there is no gap between the right reflecting portion 20 and the right region DR, and there is no gap between the left reflecting portion 21 and the left region DL. Is preferred. Accordingly, when viewed from the direction facing the display surface 30a, the right reflection unit 20 surrounds the right parallax image IR, and the left reflection unit 21 surrounds the left parallax image IL.

  In such a configuration, in the parallax image providing apparatus, the right parallax image IR is displayed toward the right lens 17 through the right space SvR, and the left parallax image IL is displayed toward the left lens 18 through the left space SvL.

[Action]
The operation of the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 shows an example of an image that can be seen when looking into the right space SvR through the right lens 17 in the parallax image providing apparatus 40.

  When using the parallax image providing device 40, the user looks into the right space SvR through the right lens 17 with the right eye, sees the right parallax image IR with the right eye, and looks into the left space SvL through the left lens 18 with the left eye. The left parallax image IL is viewed with the left eye. As a result, the user perceives a stereoscopic effect such as depth according to the difference between the visible images on the left and right sides, and the objects included in the right parallax image IR and the left parallax image IL appear stereoscopically.

Here, in the first embodiment, the right reflection unit 20 is arranged around the right parallax image IR in the right space SvR, and the left reflection unit 21 is arranged around the left parallax image IL in the left space SvL. .
As shown in FIG. 9, the right reflection unit 20 displays an image of a region near the right reflection unit 20 of the right parallax image IR, that is, a region near the outer edge of the right parallax image IR.

  In the conventional configuration in which the right reflection unit 20 is not disposed, when the user looks into the right space SvR through the right lens 17 with the right eye, the region seen from the right eye includes the peripheral region of the right parallax image IR, This region includes an image that is different from the right parallax image IR, such as an edge of the display device 30 located outside the display surface 30a and a part of the 3D viewer 10.

  On the other hand, in the first embodiment, the right reflection unit 20 is arranged around the right parallax image IR, and a part of the right parallax image IR is reflected in the right reflection unit 20. The right reflection unit 20 in which a part of the right parallax image IR is reflected is a mirror image of the outer edge portion of the right parallax image IR, and is viewed by the user as an image having the same quality as the right parallax image IR. In other words, the frequency with which the right parallax image IR and the image having the same color, brightness, shape, and depth enter the field of view of the right eye of the user is increased, and the perception amount of the right parallax image IR and similar images is Enhanced in the field of view of the user's right eye. That is, it is possible to suppress an image that is different from the right parallax image IR from being included in the region that is visible to the user's right eye.

  Similarly, the left reflection unit 21 is arranged around the left parallax image IL, and a part of the left parallax image IL is reflected on the left reflection unit 21, so that the left parallax image IL is different from the left parallax image IL in the region seen from the left eye of the user. It is suppressed that an image is included.

  Therefore, since the user's consciousness is prevented from deviating from the right parallax image IR and the left parallax image IL, the user's sense of immersion in the contents provided as these images is enhanced. In particular, a region along the inner side surface extending in the front-rear direction of the partition plate portions 22 and 23, which conventionally has only a function of partitioning the right space SvR and the left space SvL, is used for projecting an image. Thus, the user feels that the world of the parallax images IR and IL has spread to the inner side surfaces of the partition plate portions 22 and 23. Therefore, it is possible to enhance the sense of immersion by efficiently using the structure of the 3D viewer 10.

As described above, according to the first embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) When the user views the parallax images IR and IL displayed on the display device 30 using the 3D viewer 10, the reflection units 20 and 21 enter the region visible to the user, and the reflection units 20 and 21 enter Shows a part of the parallax images IR and IL. The reflection units 20 and 21 in which a part of the parallax images IR and IL are reflected show the same image as the parallax images IR and IL to the user's eyes. It is suppressed that an image is included. Therefore, since the user's consciousness is prevented from deviating from the parallax images IR and IL, the user's feeling of immersion in the content provided as the parallax images IR and IL is enhanced.

  (2) Since the reflecting portions 20 and 21 have a cylindrical shape positioned along the inner side surface extending in the front-rear direction of the partition plate portions 22 and 23, the user is displayed on the display device 30 using the 3D viewer 10. When viewing the parallax images IR and IL, the reflection units 20 and 21 in which a part of the parallax images IR and IL are reflected are located in all directions of the region visible to the user in the visual field space Sv. Accordingly, since it is possible to accurately suppress the region that is visible to the user from containing an image different from the parallax images IR and IL, the user's immersive feeling can be accurately enhanced.

(Second Embodiment)
A second embodiment of the 3D viewer will be described with reference to FIGS. The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in the internal configuration of the visual field space Sv. Below, it demonstrates centering on difference with 1st Embodiment, about the structure similar to 1st Embodiment, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and the description is abbreviate | omitted.

[Configuration of 3D viewer]
The configuration of the 3D viewer will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is a view of the 3D viewer with the front plate portion 11 removed from the direction facing the front plate portion 11.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the 3D viewer 50 includes a right partition portion 27 and a left partition portion 28 in addition to the middle plate portion 19, the right reflection portion 20, and the left reflection portion 21 inside the visual field space Sv. I have.

  The right partitioning portion 27 extends in the front-rear direction inside the right space SvR and is disposed inside the right reflecting portion 20. The right partition portion 27 includes a ring portion 27a having a rectangular ring shape along the right reflection portion 20 and four corner portions on the outer surface of the ring portion 27a, and the corner portion on the inner surface of the right reflection portion 20 And an extending portion 27b extending toward the opposite corner portion. There is a gap between the ring portion 27a and the right reflecting portion 20, and the end portion of the extending portion 27b opposite to the ring portion 27a is in contact with the right reflecting portion 20. In other words, the ring portion 27 a faces the right reflecting portion 20 on the opposite side of the right reflecting portion 20 and the portion located along the right reflecting portion 20 in the right partition plate portion 22.

The left partition portion 28 extends in the front-rear direction inside the left space SvL and is disposed inside the left reflecting portion 21. The left partition portion 28 includes a ring portion 28a having a rectangular ring shape along the left reflecting portion 21 and four corner portions on the outer surface of the ring portion 28a, and the corner portion on the inner surface of the left reflecting portion 21. And an extending portion 28b extending toward the opposite corner. There is a gap between the ring portion 28a and the left reflecting portion 21, and the end portion of the extending portion 28b opposite to the ring portion 28a is in contact with the left reflecting portion 21. In other words, the ring portion 28 a faces the left reflecting portion 21 on the opposite side of the left reflecting portion 21 and the portion located along the left reflecting portion 21 in the left partition plate portion 23.
Although the material of the right partition part 27 and the left partition part 28 is not specifically limited, It is preferable that each of the inner surface and the outer surface of the right partition part 27 and the left partition part 28 is black.
[Configuration of display device]
With reference to FIG. 11, the image which the control part 33 of the display apparatus 30 used with the 3D viewer 50 of 2nd Embodiment displays on the display part 32 is demonstrated.

  As shown in FIG. 11, on the display surface 30a, the right parallax image IR is displayed in a rectangular area located at the center of the right area DR, and the left parallax image IL is located at the center of the left area DL. It is displayed in a rectangular area. In the right region DR, the right peripheral image RR is displayed in a rectangular frame-shaped region surrounding the right parallax image IR, and in the left region DL, the left peripheral image is displayed in the rectangular frame-shaped region surrounding the left parallax image IL. An image RL is displayed.

  The right peripheral image RR is configured by connecting four frame piece portions Rf, each of which is a band-shaped portion extending in one direction, in an annular shape. In the connecting portion of the two frame piece portions Rf, that is, the corner portion of the right peripheral image RR, each frame piece portion Rf is partitioned along the diagonal line of the right region DR. The left peripheral image RL is configured by connecting four frame piece portions Lf, each of which is a band-shaped portion extending in one direction, in a ring shape. At the connection portion between the two frame piece portions Lf, that is, the corner portion of the left peripheral image RL, each frame piece portion Lf is partitioned along the diagonal line of the left region DL.

  Each of the frame pieces Rf in the right peripheral image RR is an image for guiding the line of sight to the right parallax image IR. The frame piece portion Rf has, for example, a color that depends on the color of the adjacent portion that is the portion adjacent to each frame piece portion Rf in the right parallax image IR, and the color change is slower than the adjacent portion. It is an image. Relying on color means that each frame piece portion Rf averages a color similar to the color included in the adjacent portion to each frame piece portion Rf in the right parallax image IR or a plurality of colors included in the adjacent portion. Means including color. Each frame piece portion Rf changes in color more slowly than the adjacent portion. In other words, the blurred image having lower visibility than the adjacent portion, that is, the outline of the object included in the image is unclear. An image or an image composed of a single color. Further, the frame piece portion Rf may be, for example, a line image that radiates from the right parallax image IR.

  In other words, the right peripheral image RR is an image that allows the user to recall an image to be displayed in a region surrounding the right parallax image IR continuously with the right parallax image IR, and is a region surrounding the right parallax image IR. It is an image which complements the information of the image which should be displayed on as information according to right parallax image IR.

  Similarly, each of the frame pieces Lf in the left peripheral image RL is an image for guiding the line of sight to the parallax image IR for the left eye, and is, for example, a portion adjacent to each frame piece Lf in the left parallax image IL. The image has a color that depends on the color of the image, and the change in the color is more gradual than that of the adjacent portion.

  The peripheral images RR and RL may be still images or moving images. When the parallax images IR and IL are moving images, the peripheral images RR and RL may be moving images that change as the parallax images IR and IL change. preferable.

  Hereinafter, specific examples of the right peripheral image RR and the left peripheral image RL will be described. In the following description, the right peripheral image RR will be described as an example, but the left peripheral image RL is configured similarly.

  In the first example, the image data for displaying the right peripheral image RR is generated by image processing using image data for displaying the right parallax image IR, and the image data for displaying the left peripheral image RL is It is generated by image processing using image data for displaying the left parallax image IL.

  For example, in the right parallax image IR, a plurality of arbitrary pixels are selected and selected from the pixels adjacent to each frame piece portion Rf of the right peripheral image RR or the pixels adjacent to the pixels adjacent to each frame piece portion Rf. The color indicated by the average value of the RGB gradation values in the selected pixel is the display color of each frame piece Rf. In addition, a color with lightness and saturation lower than the color indicated by the average value may be the display color of each frame piece portion Rf. In this case, each frame piece Rf is composed of a single color.

  Also, for example, in the right parallax image IR, blur processing such as Gaussian blur is performed on the pixels adjacent to each frame piece portion Rf of the right peripheral image RR or the pixels around the pixels adjacent to each frame piece portion Rf. The image after the blurring process is stretched as necessary to form each frame piece portion Rf.

  Further, for example, after the right parallax image IR is enlarged to the entire right region DR, the blurring process is performed on a portion located in the area where the right peripheral image RR is arranged, and the image after the blurring process is used as the right peripheral image RR. These are arranged around the right parallax image IR before enlargement.

  In the second example, the image data for displaying the right peripheral image RR is generated by image processing using basic data that is data that is the source of image data for displaying the right parallax image IR. Further, the image data for displaying the left peripheral image RL is generated by image processing using the basic data that is the data from which the image data for displaying the left parallax image IL is generated.

  Specifically, the right parallax image IR and the left parallax image IL are generated by rendering 3D data such as 3DCG data. Then, an image obtained by performing the above blurring process on an image generated from data in a region around the region from which the right parallax image IR is generated in 3D data is set as a right peripheral image RR. 3D data is an example of basic data.

In the first and second examples, the right parallax image IR and the right peripheral image RR constitute an image based on one image data displayed in the right region DR, and the left parallax image IL and the left An image based on one image data displayed in the left region DL may be configured from the peripheral image RL.
In the third example, the right peripheral image RR and the left peripheral image RL are generated in advance as images different from the right parallax image IR and the left parallax image IL.

  Specifically, for example, when a sea image is prepared as the right parallax image IR, a blue color image is prepared as the right peripheral image RR. That is, if each of the frame pieces Rf has a color that depends on the color of the adjacent part to each frame piece part Rf in the right parallax image IR and the image changes more slowly than the adjacent part, The peripheral image RR may be an image set separately without performing image processing as in the first example and the second example. Then, for example, the central portion of the right peripheral image RR is subjected to a transmission process, and the right parallax image IR and the right peripheral image RR are used as layers, and the right peripheral image RR is superimposed on the front of the right parallax image IR. These images are displayed in the right region DR.

  In the first example and the second example, the right parallax image IR and the left parallax image IL are generated from image data stored in the storage unit 34 of the display device 30 or 3D data stored in the storage unit 34. When the image is displayed based on the image data that has been displayed, the control unit 33 generates image data for displaying the right peripheral image RR and the left peripheral image RL. Further, when the right parallax image IR and the left parallax image IL are images that are displayed based on the image data received by the display device 30 from the external device, the right peripheral image RR and the left peripheral image RL are displayed. The image data may be generated by the control unit 33 or may be generated by the external device and transmitted from the external device to the display device 30 together with the image data for displaying the right parallax image IR and the left parallax image IL. May be.

  In the third example, the image data for displaying the right peripheral image RR and the left peripheral image RL and the image data for displaying the right peripheral image RR and the left peripheral image RL are stored in the storage unit 34. Alternatively, it may be transmitted from the external device to the display device 30.

  The controller 33 has a function of causing the display unit 12 to display the right parallax image IR, the left parallax image IL, the right peripheral image RR, and the left peripheral image RL, and a function of generating the right peripheral image RR and the left peripheral image RL. It may be embodied by various hardware such as a plurality of CPUs, a memory such as a RAM, or may be embodied by software that gives a plurality of functions to one common hardware. Such software is installed in the display device 30 in advance or downloaded via a network, installed in the display device 30 and stored in the storage unit 34.

[Configuration of parallax image providing apparatus]
With reference to FIG. 12 and FIG. 13, the positional relationship between the display surface 30a of the display device 30 and the partition portions 27 and 28 of the 3D viewer 50 in the parallax image providing device will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 12, in the parallax image providing device 40, the right partition 27 is arranged along the edge of the frame piece Rf of the right peripheral image RR when viewed from the direction facing the display surface 30 a. The partition part 28 is arrange | positioned along the edge of the frame piece part Lf of the left periphery image RL.

  Specifically, when viewed from the direction facing the display surface 30 a, the ring portion 27 a of the right partition portion 27 is disposed at the boundary portion between the right parallax image IR and the right peripheral image RR, and the extending portion of the right partition portion 27. 27b is arranged at a boundary portion between the frame piece portions Rf in the right peripheral image RR. Similarly, when viewed from the direction facing the display surface 30a, the ring portion 28a of the left partition portion 28 is disposed at the boundary portion between the left parallax image IL and the left peripheral image RL, and the extended portion 28b of the left partition portion 28. Are arranged at the boundary portion between the frame piece portions Lf in the left peripheral image RL.

  Accordingly, when viewed from the direction facing the display surface 30a, the right reflection unit 20 surrounds the right peripheral image RR, and the ring portion 27a of the right partition unit 27 surrounds the right parallax image IR. Further, when viewed from the direction facing the display surface 30a, the left reflecting portion 21 surrounds the left peripheral image RL, and the ring portion 28a of the left partitioning portion 28 surrounds the left parallax image IL. Then, when viewed from the direction facing the display surface 30a, the right peripheral image RR is located between the ring portion 27a of the right partition portion 27 and the right reflection portion 20, and the ring portion 28a and the left reflection portion of the left partition portion 28. The left peripheral image RL is located between

  As shown in FIG. 13, among the end portions in the front-rear direction of the right partition portion 27, the end portion closer to the rear plate portion 12 reaches the boundary portion between the storage space Sp and the right space SvR, and the right partition portion 27 The width in the front-rear direction is preferably smaller than the width in the front-rear direction of the right reflecting portion 20. Similarly, of the end portions of the left partition portion 28 in the front-rear direction, the end portion closer to the rear plate portion 12 reaches the boundary portion between the storage space Sp and the left space SvL, and the width of the left partition portion 28 in the front-rear direction Is preferably smaller than the width of the left reflecting portion 21 in the front-rear direction.

  That is, the end portion of the right reflecting portion 20 and the end portion of the right partition portion 27 are aligned on the rear plate portion 12 side in the right space SvR, and the end portion of the left reflecting portion 21 and the end portion of the left partition portion 28 are aligned. Are aligned on the rear plate 12 side in the left space SvL.

[Action]
The operation of the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 14 shows an example of an image that can be seen when looking into the right space SvR through the right lens 17 in the parallax image providing apparatus 40.

  In the second embodiment, when viewed from the direction facing the display surface 30a, the right partition portion 27 is disposed around the right parallax image IR, the right reflecting portion 20 is disposed around the right peripheral image RR, and the right partition portion. The right peripheral image RR is located in a region sandwiched between 27 and the right reflection unit 20. Similarly, when viewed from the direction facing the display surface 30a, the left partition 28 is disposed around the left parallax image IL, the left reflector 21 is disposed around the left peripheral image RL, and the left partition 28 and the left The left peripheral image RL is located in a region sandwiched between the reflecting portions 21.

  In such a configuration, when viewed from the right lens 17, the right reflection unit 20 projects an image displayed through the gap between the right partition unit 27 and the right reflection unit 20, that is, the right peripheral image RR, and the left reflection unit 21. Shows the image displayed through the gap between the left partitioning portion 28 and the left reflecting portion 21, that is, the left peripheral image RL.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 14, the right partition 27 is located at the boundary between the right parallax image IR and the right peripheral image RR, and right reflection is performed from the area where the right parallax image IR is displayed on the display surface 30a. Since the light toward the unit 20 is blocked, the right parallax image IR is suppressed from being reflected in the right reflection unit 20, and the right peripheral image RR is displayed in the right reflection unit 20. The right peripheral image RR is, for example, an image that has a color that depends on the color of the adjacent portion of the right parallax image IR with the right peripheral image RR and that changes more slowly than the adjacent portion. In other words, the right peripheral image RR is an image that has an atmosphere similar to the right parallax image IR and is less conspicuous than the right parallax image IR, and guides the line of sight to the right parallax image IR. . In such a configuration, an image naturally continues from the right parallax image IR to the right peripheral image RR, and from the right peripheral image RR to the right reflection unit 20 where the right peripheral image RR is reflected, and the right peripheral image RR and the right reflection It is suppressed that the part 20 stands out and attracts the user's attention.

  Similarly, since the left peripheral image RL is reflected on the left reflecting portion 21, the left parallax image IL is naturally changed to the left peripheral image RL, and then the left peripheral image RL is shifted to the left reflecting portion 21 on which the left peripheral image RL is reflected. The image continues, and the left peripheral image RL and the left reflecting portion 21 are conspicuous, and the user's attention is suppressed.

  Here, the end portions of the partition portions 27 and 28 and the end portions of the reflection portions 20 and 21 are aligned on the rear plate 12 side in the visual field space Sv, and the lengths of the partition portions 27 and 28 in the front-rear direction are as follows. It is shorter than the length in the front-rear direction of the reflecting portions 20 and 21. Therefore, even if the partition portions 27 and 28 are disposed inside the visual field space Sv, it is possible to suppress the user's field of view from being excessively hindered by the partition portions 27 and 28. In addition, if each of the inner side surface and the outer side surface of the partitioning portions 27 and 28 is black, reflection of unnecessary light by the partitioning portions 27 and 28 is suppressed, so that the visibility of the image displayed on the display surface 30a is improved. Enhanced.

  Thus, in 2nd Embodiment, the part reflected in the reflection parts 20 and 21 in the image displayed on the display apparatus 30 by the partition parts 27 and 28 is set, and the part reflected in this reflection parts 20 and 21 is set to this part. The peripheral images RR and RL are displayed.

  Therefore, it is possible to suppress an image that is different from the right parallax image IR and the left parallax image IL from being included in the region that is visible to the user, and an image that is positioned around the right parallax image IR in the region that is visible to the user's right eye. An image that naturally follows the right parallax image IR and is less likely to attract attention than the right parallax image IR. Similarly, an image located around the left parallax image IL in the region that can be seen from the left eye of the user is an image that naturally follows the left parallax image IL and is less likely to attract attention than the left parallax image IL. Therefore, the user's line of sight is guided to the right parallax image IR and the left parallax image IL, and the user's consciousness is more accurately suppressed from deviating from the parallax images IR and IL compared to the first embodiment. This further enhances the user's feeling of immersion in the content provided as the image.

As described above, according to the second embodiment, in addition to the effects (1) and (2) of the first embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(3) Since the 3D viewer 50 includes the partition portions 27 and 28, when the user views an image displayed on the display device 30 using the 3D viewer 50, the partition is viewed from the direction facing the display surface 30a. An image located in the gap between the portions 27 and 28 and the reflecting portions 20 and 21 is reflected on the reflecting portions 20 and 21. That is, by setting the structure of the partitioning portions 27 and 28, it is possible to adjust the portion of the image displayed on the display device 30 that is reflected on the reflecting portions 20 and 21. Therefore, it is also possible to set an image included in a region that is visible to the user so that the user's immersive feeling is further enhanced.

  (4) On the display device 30, the right peripheral image RR is displayed around the right parallax image IR, and the left peripheral image RL is displayed around the left parallax image IL. The partition portions 27 and 28 prevent the parallax images IR and IL from appearing on the reflection portions 20 and 21, and these parallax images have an atmosphere that is similar in color to the adjacent parallax images IR and IL. Peripheral images RR and RL that are less conspicuous than IR and IL are reflected on the reflection portions 20 and 21. Since the peripheral images RR and RL are reflected on the reflection units 20 and 21, images are naturally continued from the parallax images IR and IL to the peripheral images RR and RL and further to the reflection units 20 and 21, and the peripheral images RR, RL and It is suppressed that the reflection parts 20 and 21 are noticeable and attract the user's attention. As a result, the user's consciousness can be more accurately suppressed from deviating from the parallax images IR and IL, so that the user's immersive feeling is further enhanced.

(Modification)
The above embodiments can be implemented with the following modifications.
-In 2nd Embodiment, the partition parts 27 and 28 change the advancing direction of the light toward the partition parts 27 and 28 from the clearance gap between the partition parts 27 and 28 and the reflection parts 20 and 21 to the reflection parts 20 and 21. It may be configured to change toward. For example, in the right partitioning portion 27, the surface facing the right reflecting portion 20, that is, the outer surface of the ring portion 27a and the inner and outer surfaces of the extending portion 27b reflect light by metal film lamination or mirror finishing. It may have the function to do. Alternatively, the right partition portion 27 may include a prism and have a function of refracting light toward the right reflecting portion 20.

  According to such a configuration, it is possible to increase the intensity of light reflected by the reflecting portions 20 and 21, and the peripheral images RR and RL displayed through the gaps between the partition portions 27 and 28 and the reflecting portions 20 and 21. However, since it becomes easy to be reflected in the reflection parts 20 and 21, the effects (3) and (4) are enhanced.

  Moreover, in the partition parts 27 and 28, the inner surfaces of the ring parts 27a and 28a may have a function of reflecting light by stacking metal films or mirror finishing. According to such a configuration, part of the parallax images IR and IL is reflected on the inner side surfaces of the ring portions 27a and 28a, so that the partition portions 27 and 28 that are visible to the user are captured as images that are the same quality as the parallax images IR and IL. . As a result, the user's immersive feeling is enhanced.

  -In 2nd Embodiment, if the partition parts 27 and 28 have the part arrange | positioned with the reflection parts 20 and 21 and a clearance gap, ie, the ring parts 27a and 28a, the extension parts 27b and 28b will be provided. It may not have, and the position and shape of extension parts 27b and 28b may differ from a 2nd embodiment. For example, in the second embodiment, at the corner portions of the peripheral images RR and RL, the frame piece portions Rf and Lf are partitioned along the diagonal line of the right region DR or the left region DL, but the peripheral images RR and RL The frame pieces Rf and Lf may be divided into two long rectangles and two short rectangles sandwiched between them, and the extending portions 27b and 28b extend along the long rectangular frame pieces Rf and Lf. You may extend from the ring parts 27a and 28a. Alternatively, when viewed from the direction facing the display surface 30a, the extending portions 27b and 28b may be arranged at positions different from the boundary portions between the frame piece portions Rf and Lf.

  However, in the configuration in which the extending portions 27b and 28b are arranged at the boundary portion between the frame piece portions Rf and Lf when viewed from the direction facing the display surface 30a, the frame piece portions Rf and Lf are particularly different from each other. When colors are displayed, it is possible to prevent the boundary between these colors from being conspicuous in the peripheral images RR and RL and the images shown in the reflection units 20 and 21. Therefore, a more natural image is reflected on the reflection units 20 and 21 as an image following the parallax images IR and IL.

  The 3D viewer 10 of the first embodiment may be used together with the display device 30 that displays the right parallax image IR, the right peripheral image RR, the left parallax image IL, and the left peripheral image RL. That is, in the configuration in which the 3D viewer 10 does not include the partition portions 27 and 28, the right peripheral image RR is displayed around the right parallax image IR on the display surface 30a of the display device 30, and around the left parallax image IL. The left peripheral image RL may be displayed.

  Even in such a configuration, the right peripheral image RR is located in a portion that is likely to be reflected in the right reflecting portion 20, and the left peripheral image RL is located in a portion that is likely to be reflected in the left reflecting portion 21. Therefore, when the peripheral images RR and RL are reflected on the reflection units 20 and 21, the parallax images IR and IL naturally continue to the peripheral images RR and RL, and further to the reflection units 20 and 21, and the peripheral images RR and RL It is possible to suppress the RL and the reflection units 20 and 21 from being noticeable and attracting the user's attention. As a result, the user's consciousness can be more accurately suppressed from deviating from the parallax images IR and IL, so that the user's immersive feeling is further enhanced.

  The 3D viewer 50 of the second embodiment may be used together with the display device 30 that displays only the right parallax image IR and the left parallax image IL. That is, in the configuration in which the 3D viewer 50 includes the partition portions 27 and 28, the right parallax image IR is displayed on the entire right region DR and the left parallax image IL on the entire left region DL on the display surface 30a of the display device 30. Is displayed, and the right peripheral image RR and the left peripheral image RL may not be displayed.

  Even in such a configuration, it is possible to adjust the portion of the image displayed on the display device 30 that is reflected on the reflection portions 20 and 21 by setting the structure of the partition portions 27 and 28. For example, in the right parallax image IR and the left parallax image IL, the central part of these parallax images IR and IL that are often displayed as the main part of the content is reflected in the reflection parts 20 and 21. It can be suppressed. As a result, it is possible to suppress the reflecting portions 20 and 21 in which a part of the parallax images IR and IL are reflected and attracting the user's attention.

  -Regarding the image displayed by the display device 30 in the second embodiment, the boundary of each frame piece portion Rf in the right peripheral image RR may not be clear, and the boundary of each frame piece portion Lf in the left peripheral image RL is clear. It does not have to be. Further, the boundary between the right parallax image IR and the right peripheral image RR and the boundary between the left parallax image IL and the left peripheral image RL may not be clear. For example, these boundary portions may be expressed by gradation. Good.

  -When at least a part of the right region DR is disposed inside the right reflecting portion 20 when viewed from the direction facing the display surface 30a, there is a gap between the right reflecting portion 20 and the right region DR. Alternatively, the right reflecting portion 20 may be disposed inside the outer edge of the right region DR. Further, when at least a part of the left region DL is disposed inside the left reflecting portion 21 when viewed from the direction facing the display surface 30a, a gap is left between the left reflecting portion 21 and the left region DL. Alternatively, the left reflecting portion 21 may be disposed inside the outer edge of the left region DL. Even in such a configuration, if a part of the image displayed in the right region DR or the left region DL is reflected in the reflection units 20 and 21, compared to the configuration in which the reflection units 20 and 21 are not provided, the user's It is suppressed that an image different from the image displayed on the display device 30 is included in the visible region.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, the reflecting portions 20 and 21 have a cylindrical shape, and the reflecting portions 20 and 21 are located along each surface extending in the front-rear direction among the inner surfaces of the partition plate portions 22 and 23. Yes. Not only this but the reflection parts 20 and 21 may be located along at least one part of the inner surface of the partition plate parts 22 and 23 in the front-back direction, May have a curved shape, for example, as a different shape. Furthermore, the 3D viewer may have only one of the right reflection unit 20 and the left reflection unit 21. In short, it is only necessary that the reflecting portion is arranged in the target space that is at least one of the right space SvR and the left space SvL. Even in such a configuration, in the portion where the reflection portion is provided in the target space, a part of the image displayed on the display device 30 is reflected in the reflection portion, and therefore, compared with a configuration in which no reflection portion is provided. Thus, it is possible to suppress an image that is different from the image displayed on the display device 30 from being visible to the user.

  When the reflecting portions 20 and 21 are not positioned along the respective surfaces extending in the front-rear direction of the inner side surfaces of the partition plate portions 22 and 23, the reflecting portions 20 and 21 are at least more than the middle in the vertical direction in the target space. It is preferable to be positioned on the lower side, and it is particularly preferable to position at least along the lower plate portion 14. That is, in a state where the user looks into the visual field space Sv through the lenses 17 and 18, the reflecting portions 20 and 21 are preferably disposed on the lower side when viewed from the user. Since the area located below the user as viewed from the user within the visual field space Sv easily enters the user's field of view, the reflecting portions 20 and 21 in which a part of the image is reflected are located in such an area. It is possible to accurately suppress an image that is different from the image displayed on the display device 30 in the visible area.

  Moreover, the partition parts 27 and 28 should just be arrange | positioned with a clearance gap between the reflection parts 20 and 21 only at the part in which the reflection parts 20 and 21 are arrange | positioned, and the surrounding images RR and RL are display surfaces. When viewed from the direction facing 30a, it is only necessary to be disposed at least in the gap between the partitioning portions 27, 28 and the reflecting portions 20, 21. In short, the peripheral image may be an image that is located in at least a part of a region surrounding the target parallax image that is at least one of the right parallax image IR and the left parallax image IL and is reflected on the reflection unit.

  The 3D viewer is positioned in at least one of the right lens 17 and the left lens 18, the right partition plate portion 22 that partitions the right space SvR, the left partition plate portion 23 that partitions the left space SvL, and the spaces SvR and SvL. Other configurations may be different from those of the above-described embodiments as long as the reflective portion is provided. For example, the right plate portion 15 and the left plate portion 16 may not protrude forward from the front plate portion 11. In addition, the shape of the cylindrical portion extending in the front-rear direction of the partition plate portions 22 and 23 is not limited to the rectangular cylindrical shape, and may be, for example, a cylindrical shape or an elliptical cylindrical shape. A cylindrical shape whose inner diameter becomes smaller toward the end may be used.
