It is a system that allows you to experience it safely.

  As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B, the risk experience system 100 includes, for example, an experience stage 10 on which a person who takes safety education (hereinafter referred to as the experience person 12) can walk, and on the experience stage 10 A virtual image display mechanism 14 for displaying a virtual image of an assumed place, for example, a work place at a high place, and a control device 16 for controlling the risk sensation system 100.

  The experience stage 10 is provided with a risk experience unit 18 that allows the experience person 12 to experience danger. The danger sensation unit 18 is a place for the sensation person 12 to experience a hazard that causes a disaster, for example, a fall or a fall. For example, handrails 20 are provided on both sides of the danger sensation part 18 in the walking direction in which the sensation person 12 walks, and the safety of the sensation person 12 is ensured.

  In this example, the virtual video display mechanism 14 includes a floor projector 14a that projects a lower video that the sensible person 12 visually recognizes downward, and a wall projector 14b that projects a front video that the sensible person 12 visually recognizes in front. The 3D glasses 14c worn by the sensation person 12 are included. The floor projector 14 a projects the lower video transmitted from the control device 16 onto the floor surface of the experience stage 10. Similarly, the wall surface projector 14 b projects the front image transmitted from the control device 16 onto the wall surface 22 provided in front of the traveling direction of the sensible person 12. The sensation person 12 sees the floor surface image and the front image through 3D glasses, so that a three-dimensional virtual space is provided around the sensation person 12. The method of stereoscopic video is not particularly limited, and any method such as an active shutter method or an anaglyph method can be adopted. In addition, when an environment with handrails in the surroundings is assumed, such as an aerial work place, if the handrails displayed in the virtual image and the handrails 20 provided on the experience stage 10 are matched, the sensible person 12 will have handrails. By grasping 20, it is possible to give the sensation 12 a realistic feeling as if it were actually in the aerial work place.

  On the experience stage 10, a sensor, for example, an infrared sensor 24, is provided that detects that the experienced person has reached the position of the dangerous experience part 18 on the experience stage 10.

  The control device 16 converts the virtual image displayed by the virtual image display mechanism 14 based on the detection result of the infrared sensor 24, that is, whether or not the sensation person 12 has advanced to the danger sensation unit 18 into an image before the occurrence of the danger. Control to switch to the video when the danger occurs. Thereby, the experienced person 12 can experience the generated danger in the dangerous experience part 18.

  The bodily sensation person 12 goes up on the experience stage 10 by wearing, for example, a helmet 26. A first motion sensor 28 is attached to, for example, the top of the helmet 26. The first motion sensor 28 is a position sensor, and detects the position of the experienced person 12 on the experience stage 10.

  Based on the detection result of the first motion sensor 28, that is, information on whether or not the sensation person 12 is moving forward, the control device 16 displays the virtual image displayed by the virtual image display mechanism 14 in the traveling direction of the sensation person 12. Control to proceed according to. In this way, the virtual image is advanced in accordance with the traveling direction of the experienced person 12, so that the experienced person 12 can experience a more realistic image.

  Furthermore, the danger sensation system 100 is provided with a second motion sensor 30. The second motion sensor 30 is a camera-type sensor, for example, monitors the sensible person 12 and detects the face direction of the sensible person 12 or the direction of the line of sight.

  The control device 16 determines the orientation of the virtual image displayed by the virtual image display mechanism 14 based on the detection result of the second motion sensor 30, that is, the information on the orientation of the sensible person 12 or where the line of sight is facing. Control is performed so as to change according to the direction of the sensation 12 and the direction of the line of sight. In this way, depending on the orientation of the sensation person 12 and the direction of the line of sight, for example, if the sensation person 12 sees the left direction, the virtual image is also rotated in the left direction. The image is also rotated in the right direction. Reality is further improved by further combining these video ideas.

  The dangerous experience system 100 further includes a speaker 32. By further providing the speaker 32, it is possible to generate an environmental sound at an assumed location assuming the occurrence of a danger, or to generate a sound effect when a danger occurs. The control for generating the sound effect when the danger occurs can be controlled by the control device 16 and stored as audio information in the video information, and the video before the danger occurrence is switched to the video when the danger occurs. When changing, sound effects may be generated.

  The danger sensation system 100 according to an embodiment further includes a danger experience assisting device 50 provided in the danger sensation unit 18 to allow the sensation experienced person 12 to experience a danger as a disaster. Hereinafter, the danger experience assisting device 50 will be described in detail.

<Dangerous experience assistance device>
FIG. 3 is a plan view showing an example of the dangerous sensation assisting device, and FIGS. 4A and 4B are cross-sectional views taken along line 4-4 in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B, the danger experience assisting device 50 of the present example has a floor plate 52 having a floor surface 52a that is substantially flush with the floor surface 10a of the experience stage 10 in the initial position. It has. In the initial position, as shown in FIG. 4A, the floor surface 10a and the floor surface 52a are flat.

  The danger experience assisting device 50 causes the sensible person 12 to experience a crash or a fall as a dangerous simulated experience, and causes the floor surface 10a of the experience stage 10 in the dangerous experience part 18 to fall. For example, the control device 16 controls the fall. Based on the detection result of the infrared sensor 24, that is, the information on whether or not the bodily sensation person 12 has advanced to the location of the dangerous experience assisting device 50 provided in the dangerous sensation part 18, the control device 16 The floor surface 10a of the experience stage 10 is dropped as shown in FIG. 4B. Specifically, the danger experience assistance device 50 realizes the fall of the floor surface 10a of the experience stage 10 by dropping the floor board 52 having the floor surface 52a that is flush with the floor surface 10a. The floor surface 52a drop distance D is preferably 100 mm or less in consideration of the safety of the experienced person 12. In consideration of safety, the drop distance D is preferably 50 mm or less, and more preferably 20 mm or less.

  Under the floor board 52 of the danger experience assisting device 50, a floor surface dropping mechanism 54 for dropping the floor surface 52a is provided. In this example, as shown in FIG. 3, four floor surface dropping mechanisms 54 are provided corresponding to the four corners of the floor plate 52.

  5 is a plan view showing an example of the floor surface dropping mechanism 54, FIGS. 6A and 6B are cross-sectional views taken along line 6-6 in FIG. 5, and FIGS. 7A and 7B are 7-7 in FIG. It is sectional drawing which follows a line.

  As shown in FIGS. 5, 6 </ b> A, and 6 </ b> B, the floor surface dropping mechanism 54 has an excitation actuator, for example, a solenoid 58 provided on the base body 56. A cam follower support member 62 is attached to the tip of a plunger 60 that is a movable iron core of the solenoid 58. The support member 62 slides on an LM guide 64 provided on the base body 56.

  A floor plate support member 66 that supports the floor plate 52 is attached to the back surface of the floor plate 52. A cam follower 68 is rotatably attached to the front end portion of the floor board support member 66. When the floor plate 52 is in the initial position, the cam follower 68 is on the cam follower support member 62. Thereby, the floor surface 10a of the experience stage 10 in the danger sensation part 18, in this example, the floor surface 52a of the floor board 52 is held at a flat initial position (see FIG. 6A).

  As shown in FIG. 6A, the cam follower 68 is supported by the cam follower support member 62 when the floor plate 52 is in the initial position. For this reason, even if the experienced person 12 gets on the floor board 52, the floor board 52 does not fall.

  In such a holding state where the floor plate 52 is held at the initial position, when the excitation coil 70 of the solenoid 58 is energized, the plunger 60 is attracted toward the fixed iron core 72. When the plunger 60 is sucked, the cam follower support member 62 slides on the LM guide 64. The cam follower 68 rotates in accordance with the sliding of the cam follower support member 62. When the cam follower support member 62 is removed from the cam follower 68, the floor plate 52 freely falls together with the weight of the sensation person 12 (see FIG. 6B). By operating the solenoid 58 in this way, the floor dropping mechanism 54 changes from the holding state in which the initial position is held to the holding release state in which the holding state is released. In this way, the floor surface dropping mechanism 54 drops the floor plate 52.

  Further, the floor surface dropping mechanism 54 is configured so that the return elastic body for returning the floor plate 52 to the initial position, for example, the return spring 74 and the falling direction of the floor surface dropping mechanism 54 are perpendicular to the base body 56, for example. And a linear bush 76 that defines the direction. The return spring 74 and the linear bush 76 are each attached between the base body 56 and the back surface of the floor plate 52.

  In the state where the floor board 52 shown in FIG. 7A has fallen, for example, it is assumed that the experienced person 12 has moved away from the floor surface 52a of the floor board 52. Then, the load applied to the floor plate 52 is eliminated, and the pressing force of the return spring 74 is applied to the floor plate 52 instead. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 7B, the floor board 52 is lifted, and the floor surface 52a of the floor board 52 is returned to the flat initial position.

  Further, the energization to the solenoid 58 is stopped. When the energization is stopped, the solenoid 58 loses the suction force for sucking the plunger 60. The plunger 60 that has lost the suction force is pulled more by the return spring 78 attached to the plunger 60. As a result, the cam follower support member 52 is returned to the initial position shown in FIG. 6A.

  According to such a floor surface dropping mechanism 54, the floor plate 52 is freely dropped together with the weight of the sensible person 12 by removing the cam follower support member 62 from the cam follower 68. Thus, by making the fall of the floor surface 52a of the floor board 52 into a free fall, for example, compared with the case where the floor board 52 is mechanically raised and lowered up and down, the experienced person 12 can experience a more realistic fall or fall. Can be simulated.

  Further, as a mechanism for removing the cam follower support member 62 from the cam follower 68, a hydraulic cylinder or a motor can be used instead of the solenoid 58. However, if an excitation actuator such as a solenoid 58 is used, the structure of the mechanism can be simplified and maintenance can be facilitated as compared with the case where a hydraulic cylinder, a motor, or the like is used. Can also be obtained.

<Modification>
(Virtual video)
As described above, any type of stereoscopic video may be used as the virtual video. However, when the sensible person feels a fall or a fall, that is, a fall, it may be displayed so that the fall speed in the virtual image at the time of danger is slower than the actual fall speed.

  For example, when an experienced person senses a fall with an animation effect, it is more effective and impressive if the fall time is set to 1.5 to 2.5 times, preferably 1.8 to 2.3 times the free fall time. Can experience a real fall, such as a “stepping event”. This is because if the falling speed is too fast, the actual feeling of falling cannot be realized, while if it is too slow, the floating feeling increases, making it difficult to experience the falling effectively. An example of the assumed drop height is 10 m, for example.

  Further, the video when the danger occurs may be a video that the sensible person can visually recognize when the sensible person 12 tilts within a range of 45 ° from the horizontal direction. Thereby, the sensible person 12 can visually recognize the situation of actually falling, and can obtain an advantage that a sense of reality is further increased.

  Further, when the dangerous sensation system 100 includes the second motion sensor 30 that monitors the sensation person 12, the virtual image is controlled so as to change according to the direction of the sensation person 12 or the direction of the line of sight. Can do. For this reason, a plurality of videos may be prepared for the video when the danger occurs according to the orientation of the sensation person 12.

  As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated according to one Embodiment, this invention is not limited to the said one Embodiment, A various deformation | transformation is possible. Further, the above-described embodiment is not the only embodiment.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, an example in which a virtual image is projected onto the floor surface and the wall surface 22 of the experience stage 10 as the virtual image display mechanism has been described. However, the virtual image display mechanism is not limited to this, and may be a head-mounted display that is worn by the sensation person 12 and displays a virtual image in the visual area of the sensation person 12.

  In addition, the present invention can be variously modified without departing from the gist thereof.
