JP2001337294A - Device for adding posture angle detecting function to head mount display - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device for adding a new function 'posture angle detection function' to a head mount display which is an existing device in order to solve the problems with the conventional head mount display for virtual reality integrated with the posture angle detector, such as a high cost, the large scale of the device itself, which is often the case, and consequently a difficulty in the popularization thereof to general consumers. SOLUTION: The posture angle detector may be added to the head mount display device which is set extremely high in a cost zone and in virtual reality technology a sure presence feel may be add thereto. Since function extension is inexpensively made possible, the popularization of the virtual reality technology to the general consumer levels may be prospected, by which the activation to fields, such as video industry, entertainment industry and electronic industry, may be expected.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a new function "posture angle detection function" for a head mounted display which is an existing device.
And a device for adding the information.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A head-mounted display device used in a conventional virtual reality technology may have a function of detecting an attitude angle, but a head-mounted display for consumer use does not include an attitude-angle detection device. Not in.

[0003]

The head mounted display for virtual reality, in which the conventional attitude angle detecting device is integrated, is expensive, and the device itself is often large-scale. It is difficult to spread.

[0004]

According to the apparatus for adding a posture angle detecting function according to the first aspect, a function for detecting the posture angle of the apparatus can be added to a consumer-use or other head-mounted display later. Things.

[0005]

By using the apparatus for adding a posture angle detecting function according to claim 1, a posture angle detecting function is added to a head mounted display for consumer use or the like, and the head mounted display for virtual reality is inexpensively used. The function can be extended.

[0006]

As described above, according to the first aspect of the present invention, an attitude angle detecting device can be added at a low cost to a head mounted display device whose price range is set very high. Confident presence can be added. Because the functions can be expanded at low cost, the virtual reality technology is expected to spread to the general purchaser, and this can be expected to activate the fields of the video industry, entertainment industry, and electronics industry.
