More specifically, there is a main screen that displays an animated character moving in the hall as a basic directional video with shading (hereinafter referred to as "main character video"); A sub-screen capable of displaying a character with shading and viewed in a direction different from the basic direction (hereinafter referred to as "sub-character image"), and a computer that generates an image of the character and the shadow of this character. The present invention relates to a hall display system and a method for holding an event using the same.

As a hall display system that displays 3D images and a method for holding an event using the same, there is a system such as the one disclosed in Patent Document 1 below. This theater system aims to create a sense of realism through the combination of a hologram front screen and a rear screen on the main screen. On the other hand, in recent years, attempts have been made to improve the sense of realism by providing a sub-screen next to the main screen and displaying characters from different angles, for example.

Special Publication No. 2017-509027

In view of the conventional situation, it is an object of the present invention to provide a hall display system that further enhances the sense of presence, and a method for holding an event using the same.

In order to achieve the above object, the hall display system according to the present invention has a main screen that displays animated characters moving in the hall as a basic direction view video (hereinafter referred to as "main character video") with shading. , a sub-screen that is arranged in the hall separately from the main screen and that can display the character with shading as an image viewed in a direction different from the basic direction (hereinafter referred to as "sub-character image"); and and a computer that generates a shadow image of the character, a real lighting fixture that illuminates the inside of the hall with real illumination light, and a virtual lighting fixture that generates virtual illumination light in the computer and displays it on the screen. The computer further comprises: the shadow is generated by the computer in association with the character and the illumination light irradiated to the character by both of the lighting devices; the computer further comprises a camera capable of photographing the audience seats; The system combines the photographed image of the audience seats and the sub-character image (hereinafter referred to as "sub-character image viewed from the direction of the audience seats") generated as the image of the direction of the camera and displays it on the sub-screen. The image of the audience seats displayed on the sub-screen is an image of a past time (T0 - Δt) delayed by a minute time Δt from the actual time T0, which is the reference for displaying the main character image. The sub-character image viewed from the seat direction uses an image at a past time (T0-Δt) delayed by a minute time Δt from the actual time T0.

According to this feature, the main character image and the sub-character image are displayed at different viewing angles and with shading, giving a sense of realism. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the "audience seat direction viewing sub-character video" uses video from a past time (T0 - Δt) that is delayed by a minute time Δt from the actual time T0, so the audience can see the actual time T0. The main character image and the sub-character image viewed from the direction of the audience seats at the past time (T0-Δt) are viewed simultaneously. In addition to viewing the real time and past time at the same time, a delayed image appears on the sub-screen, which shifts the person's attention from the center to the sub-screen, creating an even greater sense of spatial expansion and realism. become.

On the other hand, since the image of the audience seats displayed on the sub-screen uses the image of the past time (T0 - Δt) delayed by a minute time Δt, the audience will be able to confirm their own past movements in the image. However, you will begin to feel the spatial expansion and sense of presence even more.

Moreover, since both the image of the audience seats displayed on the sub-screen and the sub-character image viewed from the direction of the audience seats are from the past time (T0-Δt), there is no contradiction between the above-mentioned lighting and shadows. Therefore, the audience receives the images on the sub-screen with a very natural feeling, and the sense of realism is not obstructed. Preferably, the short time Δt is set to 0.1 seconds to 0.5 seconds.

In addition to the above features, the computer is configured such that the illumination light from one of the two lighting fixtures or both of the lighting fixtures is directly irradiated at least in the direction of the sub-screen, and the sub-screen, the main screen, or a portion other than these two screens. Alternatively, images of lighting reflected on the main screen and portions other than these two screens may be synchronized with the real time T0. According to the above feature, the audience simultaneously sees the main character image at the real time T0 and the sub-character image viewed from the direction of the audience seats at the past time (T0 - Δt). The illumination at time T0 can span both screens or part of the hall, for example. By traversing light at different times, the sense of realism can be further deepened. In this case, the illumination light from both of the lighting devices may include light that does not form an image or an image that forms an image.

In each of the above features, the main screen includes a hologram playback screen that is tilted on the stage and displays a hologram image, and a back screen that is placed behind the stage, and displays a composite image of these two screens to the audience. Good too.

In implementing this system, the computer further includes a space where the actor moves in a place that is not visible from the audience seats, and a motion capture device that captures the actor's motion, and the computer generates a character that moves in conjunction with the captured actor's motion. It may also be provided with a rendering function that generates images in real time.

On the other hand, as for the images on the main screen and the sub-screen, recorded images displayed on the respective screens may be displayed in synchronization with the actual illumination light.

By arranging the sub-screens at least on the left and right sides of the main screen, it is possible to spread the screen horizontally.

The characteristics of the method for conducting an event using the display system for halls are that the main screen displays animated characters moving in the hall as a basic direction view video (hereinafter referred to as "main character video") with shading, and a sub-screen which is arranged in the hall separately from the screen and can display the character with shading as an image viewed in a direction different from the basic direction (hereinafter referred to as "sub-character image"); and the character and this character. and a computer that generates a shadow image of the hall, further comprising a real lighting fixture that illuminates the inside of the hall with real illumination light, and a virtual lighting fixture that generates virtual illumination light in the computer and displays it on the screen, The shadow is generated by the computer in association with the character and the illumination light irradiated onto the character by the lighting equipment, and the computer is equipped with a camera capable of photographing the audience seats, and the computer The image of the seats and the sub-character image generated as the directional image of the camera (hereinafter referred to as "sub-character image viewed from the direction of the audience seats") are combined and displayed on the sub-screen, and the sub-screen As the image of the audience seats to be displayed, an image of a past time T0-Δt delayed by a minute time Δt from the actual time T0, which is the reference for displaying the main character image, is used. The purpose is to use an image at a past time T0-Δt that is delayed by a minute time Δt from the actual time T0.

According to the characteristics of the display system for a hall and the method of conducting an event using the same according to the present invention, it is now possible to provide a display system for a hall that further enhances the sense of presence and a method of conducting an event using the same. Ta.

It is a schematic front view of a pachinko machine in another embodiment of the present invention.

Next, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings as appropriate. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the hall display system 1 according to the present invention includes a main screen 2, a pair of left and right sub-screens 3, a real lighting fixture 4, a virtual lighting fixture 5 (virtual lighting fixture light source 5a), and a speaker 6. , a first camera 11 for taking images of the audience seats AU, and a computer 50 are provided in or near the hall H.

The hall display system 1 further includes a second camera 12 and a microphone 13 in a separate room from the hall H. The second camera 12 is installed in the isolated space S, photographs the motion of the actor AC, and sends it to the motion capture module MC51. The microphone 13 records the voice of a voice actor or vocalist and sends it to the lip sync module LS54.

The main screen 2 installed in Hall H includes a hologram playback screen 2a installed diagonally on stage ST, a back screen 2b installed on the back of stage ST, a hologram projector 2c that projects an image on the hologram playback screen 2a, and a back screen. It is equipped with a rear projector 2d that transfers an image to 2b. The image on the rear screen 2b passes through the hologram reproduction screen 2a, is combined with the image on the hologram reproduction screen 2a, and is visible from the audience seats AU.

On the other hand, each sub-screen 3 includes a first horizontal screen 3a1 and a second horizontal screen 3a2 (horizontal screen 3a) on the left and right, and a first sub-screen projector 3b1 and a second sub-screen projector that project images on both horizontal screens 3a, respectively. (The latter is not shown; both sub-screen projectors 3b) are provided.

The computer 50 includes a motion capture module MC51, a real-time rendering module RR52, an image synthesis module IM53, a lip sync module LS54, a backstage image generation module BI55, a virtual light image generation module VL56, a real light controller RC58, a music generation module SG59, and each module. It is equipped with a time management controller TM60 that serves as a reference for time adjustment.

The motion capture module MC51 analyzes the motion of the actor AC photographed by the second camera 12, and generates a 3D image of the moving character in the real-time rendering module RR52. A plurality of second cameras 12 are provided to photograph the actor AC from different angles and perform motion capture. Normally, the shooting direction of the second camera 12 at the front is the basic direction view D1 when generating the main character.

The virtual light image generation module VL56 creates an image of the lighting in the virtual space, and in conjunction with the real light controller RC58 sends light information to the backstage image generation module BI55 and real-time rendering module RR52 to create shadows that are consistent with the lighting conditions. Generate a video with The actual illumination light control unit RL61 is controlled by the real light controller RC58, and operates the actual lighting equipment 4 to perform actual illumination in the hall H.

The image of the audience seats AU captured by the first camera 11 is combined with the image of the real-time rendering module RR52 by the image synthesis module IM53, and projected onto the horizontal screen 3a by the sub-screen projector 3b. On the other hand, images from the real-time rendering module RR52 are projected as main character images on the hologram playback screen 2a and rear screen 2b by the hologram projector 2c and rear projector 2d, respectively.

The lip sync module LS54 delays the voice of a voice actor or the like recorded by the microphone 13 in time with the main character image. Furthermore, the music generation module SG59 generates BGM and sound effects, and these BGM and the like are played into the hall H by the speaker 6 through the sound system 62 along with the sound from the microphone 13.

As shown in FIGS. 1, 4, and 5, two characters, character A (CH-A) and character B (CH-B), are displayed on the main screen 2 as characters CH. In contrast, only character B (CH-B) is displayed on the pair of left and right sub-screens 3.

To explain the image on the main screen 2 in detail, the main character image MI (MIa, MIb) consists of a main character main body image MI1 (MI1a, MI1b) and a shadow MI2 (MI2a, MI2b) of the main character. Furthermore, the main background image BMI is added to this to form the main composite image MMI.

On the other hand, on the pair of left and right sub-screens 3, the sub-character image SI (sub-character image AI as seen from the direction of the audience seats) consists of the sub-character main image SI1 and the shadow SI2 of the sub-character. Then, by further adding the sub background image (image of the audience seats) BSI, a sub composite image MSI is created.

The main composite image MMI on the main screen 2 uses characters rendered in the basic direction view D1. This basic direction view D1 may or may not match the direction view of the second camera 12. On the other hand, as the direction view D2 different from the basic direction view, for example, the direction view D3 of the audience seat camera of the first camera 11 can be used. Therefore, character B (CH-B) faces backward on the main screen, but faces forward on the sub screen.

In FIG. 1, a real lighting fixture 4 is included in the visual field of the direction view D3 of the audience seat camera of the first camera 11, and real illumination light L1 is emitted from this real lighting fixture 4 to the audience seats AU, the stage ST, and the character A. (CH-A) and character B (CH-B) are irradiated.

In FIG. 4, an image 4' of the light source of the actual lighting fixture 4 and the actual illumination light L1 irradiated onto the audience seats are reflected together with the character B (CH-B). Since the actual illumination light L2 directed toward the character B is not actually irradiated onto the character, the position of the image 4' of the light source is also regarded as the light source of the virtual lighting fixture 5, and is displayed as the virtual illumination light L2.

As shown in FIGS. 1, 3 to 5, two characters, character A (CH-A) and character B (CH-B), at real time T0 are displayed on the main screen 2. On the other hand, on the sub-screen, an image of character B (CH-B) at a past time (T0-Δt) that is a minute time Δt is displayed. The shadows and backgrounds of the images on each of these screens are generated based on information about the actual illumination light L1 and virtual illumination light L2 of the real lighting fixture 4 and virtual lighting fixture 5, which are adjusted to each time.

Further, as the sub-background image (image of the audience seats) BSI, an image of a past time (T0-Δt), which is traced back by a minute time Δt, is used. Since both the sub-character images SI are from the past time (T0-Δt), there are no conflicts such as different colors of illumination light, and a sense of realism is naturally perceived.

By the way, the sub-background image (image of the audience seats) BSI may be delayed by a minute time Δt due to hardware performance. In this case, depending on the performance of the hardware, the sub-character video SI may also use a past video that goes back a minute time Δt, and the minute time Δt is the software delay of the video synthesis module IM53 due to the hardware delay. You can adjust it with Preferably, the short time Δt is set to 0.1 seconds to 0.5 seconds. This is because if the duration is 0.1 seconds or more, differences in the images can be recognized, and if it is longer than 0.5 seconds, it feels unnatural.

On the main screen 2, the main character body image MI1 (MI1a, MI1b), the main character's shadow MI2 (MI2a, MI2b), and the main background image BMI are displayed in a composite manner. These elements can be displayed on the hologram reproduction screen 2a and the rear screen 2b in the following combinations.

Case 1) Hologram playback screen 2a; main character main image MI1 (MI1a, MI1b), back screen 2b; main character shadow MI2 (MI2a, MI2b) and main background image BMI

Case 2) Hologram playback screen 2a; Main character body image MI1 (MI1a, MI1b) and main character shadow MI2 (MI2a, MI2b), back screen 2b; Main background image BMI

Case 3) Hologram playback screen 2a; main character body image MI1 (MI1a, MI1b), main character shadow MI2 (MI2a, MI2b) and part of main background image BMI (BMI1), back screen 2b; main background image BMI Residual (BMI2)

Screen layouts for these images are adopted as appropriate and necessary.

Note that in the above example, a space for the actors to move and a motion capture device were provided. However, as shown in FIG. 3, the event may be carried out by recording all the controls for video, sound, lighting, etc. for carrying out the event in the recording module RS57 and reproducing this.

Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described. The same members as in the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals. In addition, paraphrasing of members with the same meaning can be applied to all of the above elements other than those mentioned below.

In the embodiment described above, the times of the real illumination light L1 and the virtual illumination light L2 of the real lighting fixture 4 and the virtual lighting fixture 5 are different between the main screen and the sub screen. However, in the second embodiment shown in FIG. 6(a), the illumination lights L1 and L2 of either the lighting fixtures 4 and 5 or both of the lighting fixtures 4 and 5 are directed directly toward the main screen 2 and the sub-screen 3. The image of the illumination reflected on both screens 2 and 3 (Cherry Blossom Fubuki F) is synchronized with the actual time T0 in the computer 50. In the second embodiment, the cherry blossom blizzard F3 (F) is also projected on the screen space H1 and the screen periphery H2, which are part of the hall H. The cherry blossom blizzard F1 and F2 (F) reflected on these screens 2 and 3 are caused by the virtual illumination light L2 of the virtual lighting fixture 5, and the cherry blossom blizzard F3 (F) reflected in the space H1 between screens that is a part of the hall H and around the screen H2 ) is based on the actual illumination light L1 of the actual lighting fixture 4.

According to this embodiment, the cherry blossom blizzard F is also reflected on the screen H1 between the screens and the screen periphery H2, which are part of the hall H, but it may also be displayed on the audience seats AU, and the main screen without showing these. The cherry blossom snowstorm F1 and F2 may be displayed only on the second screen and the sub-screen 3. The sense of realism can be further enhanced by the fact that light having a different time from the past time (T0-Δt) of the sub-screen crosses the sub-screen 4 and other parts. Although the cherry blossom blizzard F is an imaged image, illumination light L such as a spotlight that is not formed may also be used. In addition, if it is unnatural for the cherry blossom blizzard F to appear on the main screen 2 and the sub-screen 3, which are viewed from different directions, the sub-background image of the sub-screen 3 when viewed from the same direction as the main screen 2, as shown in FIG. 6(b). The MSI may be followed by the main background image BMI.

In the above embodiment, the main composite image MMI displayed on the main screen 2 is of real time T0, and the sub-composed images MSI of the left and right sub-screens are of past time (T0 - Δt), and the time difference between the screens is was divided into two stages. However, the time between the three screens may be changed into three stages. For example, the main screen 2 may use real time, one sub-screen 3 may use future time, and the other sub-screen 3 may use past time, or multiple times such as the present, the past, and the past may be used. The number of screens and the time may be changed to three or more.

In the embodiments described above, the present invention was implemented as a hall display system used in a hall and a method for holding an event using the same. However, the present invention can also be implemented in gaming machines such as pachinko and pachislot. In this case, it is not necessary to perform motion capture of the actor, and as described above, all the controls for video, sound, lighting, etc. may be recorded in the recording module RS57 and then played back.

That is, the present invention includes a main screen that displays moving animation characters with shading and a basic direction view (hereinafter referred to as "main character video"); A gaming machine such as pachinko or pachislot, which is equipped with a sub-screen capable of displaying an image with a direction view different from the directional view (hereinafter referred to as "sub-character image"), and a computer that generates an image of the character and the shadow of the character. The game machine further includes a real lighting fixture that illuminates the inside of the gaming machine with real lighting light, and a virtual lighting fixture that generates virtual illumination light in the computer and displays it on the screen, and the shadow is created by the character and both of the lighting fixtures. It is generated by the computer in association with the illumination light irradiated on the character, and is equipped with a camera capable of photographing the outside of the game machine, and the computer uses the photographed image of the outside of the game machine and the directional view of the camera. The sub-character image (hereinafter referred to as "sub-character image looking outside the gaming machine") generated as an image of the gaming machine is synthesized and displayed on the sub-screen. The video of the past time (T0 - Δt) delayed by a minute time Δt from the actual time T0, which is the reference for displaying the main character video, is used as the video of It may also be used as a gaming machine that uses video at a past time (T0-Δt) delayed by a minute time Δt.
