(First embodiment)
Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings and the like.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the dance apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment as viewed from the right side X2.
FIG. 2 is a diagram of the dance apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment viewed from the upper side Z2.
In the embodiment and the drawings, for the sake of convenience, the vertical direction Z, the front-rear direction Y, and the left-right direction X are defined on the basis of the state where the player P faces the mirror unit 10.
In the embodiment, the person who dances is called a player P, and the dance of the player P is called play as appropriate. Furthermore, in the embodiment, a person displayed on the screen 25 is called a dancer.

  The dance apparatus 1 is an apparatus in which the player P can experience as if he / she is dancing as a member of a dance unit by dancing while looking at the mirror part 10 with his figure and the dancer D displayed on the screen 25. is there. The dance device 1 is arranged in a sufficiently large room. In the embodiment, the length between the mirror part 10 and the screen 25 is 4 m, and the play position P1 of the player P is the center part of the mirror part 10 and the screen 25 (that is, a position 2 m from the mirror part 10 and the screen 25). The form which is is demonstrated. This form is an example, and the length between the mirror unit 10 and the screen 25, the play position P1 of the player P, and the like can be changed as appropriate. The dance device 1 is disposed, for example, in a fitness club, a school, an amusement facility, or the like.

As shown in FIG. 1, the dance apparatus 1 includes an operation unit 2, a mirror unit 10, a display device 20, an imaging unit 40, and a speaker 45.
The operation unit 2 is an input device that is operated by the player P before and after the start of play. The operation unit 2 includes a plurality of buttons and the like.
The mirror unit 10 is disposed on the front side Y1 of the player P. The mirror unit 10 is a rectangle that is large enough to allow the player P to observe the entire body of the player P and the moving image on the screen 25 (one side is 2 m or more, for example).
The mirror unit 10 is a single large mirror.
The central region of the mirror unit 10 is a region (play image observation mirror unit) where the player P observes a play image PA that is an image of the player P performing a dance play.
The left and right areas of the mirror unit 10 (that is, the left and right areas where the player P observes the play image PA) are areas where the player P observes a video (hereinafter referred to as “dancer video”) danced by a plurality of dancers. Video observation section).

The display device 20 includes a projector 21 and a screen 25.
The projector 21 is a projection device that projects a plurality of dancer moving images. The projector 21 is a liquid crystal projector or the like. The projector 21 is disposed on the ceiling. The projector 21 is disposed near the player P and projects a dancer moving image toward the screen 25 on the rear side Y2 of the player P. For this reason, the shadow of the player P is not reflected on the screen 25.
The screen 25 is a member on which a dancer moving image is projected. The color of the screen 25 is white so that the dancer moving image is clearly projected. As the screen 25, a dedicated screen for a liquid crystal projector may be prepared, or the wall of the room itself, a white boat, or the like may be used.
The screen 25 is disposed to face the mirror unit 10. The screen 25 is disposed on the rear side Y2 of the player P. The screen 25 is a rectangle having a size capable of displaying a plurality of dancers (one side is 2 m or more, for example).
As will be described later, the projector 21 of the display device 20 projects a part of the dancer's body on the floor 29 in the dancer video. That is, the floor 29 constitutes a part of the screen. For this reason, the color of the floor 29 is preferably white as in the screen 25.

The imaging unit 40 is a camera that can capture a video played by the player P (hereinafter referred to as “play video”). The imaging unit 40 is fixed to a wall, a tripod or the like (not shown). A total of two imaging units 40 are arranged on the left and right sides of the player P so as to image the player P reflected in the mirror unit 10 from two directions. The imaging unit 40 can capture a play video with less distortion because the distance (subject distance) from the imaging unit 40 to the player P (subject) can be increased by imaging the player P reflected in the mirror unit 10 in this way. .
That is, the distance between the play position P1 and the mirror unit 10 is 2 m. Therefore, unlike the embodiment, in an aspect in which the player P is directly imaged, it is necessary to arrange an imaging device between them and use a wide-angle lens. A wide-angle lens movie is distorted.

As will be described later, the play moving images of the two imaging units 40 are subjected to image processing, and a front moving image is created. This image processing is to create a moving image from the front of the player (that is, from the front side Y1) by processing play moving images from two or more directions. Such processing uses a known method (for example, the method described in JP-A-2005-65051). For this purpose, the position and number of the imaging unit 40 may be those required for this image processing. For example, if the player P reflected on the mirror unit 10 can be captured from at least two positions on the top, bottom, left, and right of the player P. Good.
The speaker 45 is a sound output device that outputs dance music. The speaker 45 is installed on the ceiling so as not to interfere with play.

With the above configuration, the player P can observe the player P and the dancer of the display device 20 with the mirror unit 10 by being positioned between the mirror unit 10 and the display device 20. In addition, the dance apparatus 1 has a sufficient space between the player P and the mirror unit 10 and the screen 25 for the player P to dance (2 m between the player P, the mirror unit 10 and the screen 25). It can be secured. Thereby, the player P can play with a big swing.
Moreover, the dance apparatus 1 does not need to arrange the imaging unit 40 on the front side Y1 (front side) of the player P. For this reason, the player P can play without being aware of the imaging unit 40.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram of the dance apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment.
The dance apparatus 1 includes a storage unit 50 and a control unit 70.
The storage unit 50 is a storage device such as a hard disk or a semiconductor memory element for storing information, programs, and the like necessary for the operation of the dance apparatus 1.
The storage unit 50 includes a dance program 60, a front moving image creation program 65, and a front moving image storage unit 66.
The dance program 60 is a program for playing a dance with the dance apparatus 1.
The dance program 60 includes dance music, dancer video information, and the like. As the dancer moving image, for example, a moving image obtained by photographing an actual dance unit, a moving image using computer graphics, an animated moving image, or the like can be used.
The dance program 60 has two types, a one-line dance program 61 and a previous dance program 62.
The single row dance program 61 is a program for playing a single row dance. The single row dance is a type in which the player P plays along with other dancers in a line in the left-right direction X. In the embodiment, an example of a dance unit of three dancers will be described. The dancer videos 61a to 61c of the three dancers are individual information, and the dancer videos 61a to 61c can be output individually for each person.

The previous dance program 62 is a program for playing the previous dance. The front dance is a type in which the player P plays at the center position of the front side Y1 of another dancer. That is, the pre-dance is for a three-person dance unit composed of two dancers and a player P. In the embodiment, an example will be described in which the player P plays at a position of 1 m on the front side Y1 of two dancers.
The dancer animation 62a of the previous dance includes two dancers and is not individual information. For this reason, the dancer animation 62a of the previous dance cannot be selected from one of the two dancers, and can be projected only in a mode in which two people are dancing at the same time.

The front moving image creating program 65 is a program that creates a front moving image based on the play moving image of the imaging unit 40. The front moving image creating program 65 creates a front moving image from the front of the player P based on the play moving image and synthesizes a dancer moving image. Since the play video is for the player P reflected in the mirror unit 10, the front video is created by inverting the left and right.
The front moving image storage unit 66 is a storage area for storing a front moving image.

The control unit 70 is a device for performing arithmetic processing necessary for the operation of the dance apparatus 1 and for overall control of the dance apparatus 1. The control unit 70 is composed of, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit).
The control unit 70 implements various functions of the embodiment by appropriately reading and executing various programs stored in the storage unit 50. The control unit 70 performs, for example, music sound output processing, processing related to projection of the dancer moving images 61a to 61c, 62a, front moving image creation processing, and the like.
Detailed processing of the control unit 70 will be described later.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart of processing of the dance apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment.
FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining a single-row dance play according to the first embodiment.
FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the play of the previous dance according to the first embodiment.
FIGS. 5A and 6A are views of the screen 25 and the player P viewed from the front side Y1, respectively.
FIG. 5B and FIG. 6B are diagrams illustrating images observed by the player P with the mirror unit 10, respectively.

First, in step S (hereinafter referred to as “S”) 1, when the player P operates the operation unit 2, the control unit 70 starts a series of processes.
In S2, when the player P operates the operation unit 2 to select a dance type, the control unit 70 receives this operation.
In S3, the control unit 70 determines whether the selected dance is a single-line dance or a previous dance. If it is determined that the dance is a single-line dance (S3: YES), the control unit 70 proceeds to S10 and performs a single-line dance process. On the other hand, when it is determined that the dance is not a single-line dance (S3: NO), that is, when it is determined that the dance is the previous dance, the control unit 70 proceeds to S21 and performs the process of the previous dance.

(Single line dance)
The single row dance process will be described with reference to FIGS.
In S11, the control unit 70 accepts selection of a dancer to play. The previous dance unit consists of three dancers. The player P can select a dancer that he / she wants to handle by operating the operation unit 2.
The player P plays at the play position P1 (see FIG. 2) after operating the operation unit 2.
Hereinafter, an example will be described in which the player P selects the center dancer among the three dancers arranged in a line.
In S11, the control unit 70 starts playing a single row dance.

  In S <b> 12, the control unit 70 outputs dance music from the speaker 45. Also, the control unit 70 deletes the dancer video 61b corresponding to the selected dancer and displays the video of the dancer videos 61a and 61c of the two dancers located on the left side X1 and the right side X2 on the screen 25. Project.

In this case, the control unit 70 projects the dancer moving images 61a and 61c so that the player P and the observation mode of the mirror unit 10 have the same size of the dancers of the player P and the dancer moving images 61a and 61c. In addition, the control unit 70 increases the interval between the dancer moving images 61a and 61c in the left-right direction X.
That is, in the embodiment, the distance from the player P to the screen 25 is 2 m. For this reason, if the size of the dancers in the dancer videos 61a and 61c and the size of the player P are set to be approximately the same, the observation mode of the player 10 on the mirror unit 10 is the distance from the dancer of the screen 25. Is observed small. Therefore, when the dancer is made as large as the player P, the observation mode of the player P at the mirror unit 10 has a problem that the dancer becomes smaller than the player P.
In order to solve this problem, the control unit 70 displays an image in which the size of the dancer is enlarged, so that the player P and the dancer can be observed at the same size, and the positions in the left-right direction X also coincide. I am doing so.

In addition, the control unit 70 projects the video of the dancer lower side Z1 of the dancer moving images 61a and 61c on the floor 29. FIG. 5A illustrates an example in which an image of the lower half of the body (portion Z1 from the waist of the dancer to the lower side) is projected on the floor 29 for convenience of explanation. In this case, the image of the dancer's foot (toe) is aligned with the standing position of the player P, the lower body image is stretched in the front-rear direction Y, and projected onto the floor 29.
As described above, the distance from the player P to the screen 25 is about 2 m. For this reason, when a moving image is projected only on the screen 25, only the upper body of the dancer can be projected, resulting in an unnatural form.

In order to solve this problem, the control unit 70 projects the lower body of the dancer onto the floor 29 and observes it with the mirror unit 10. In the front-rear direction Y, the control unit 70 enlarges and projects the image of the lower body to 2 m, and allows the lower body and the upper body to be integrally observed when observed with the mirror unit 10. Note that the boundary 29a between the screen 25 and the floor 29 is observed by the player P with the mirror unit 10 as the boundary 29b shown in FIG.
As a result, the player P can observe the player P and the plurality of dancers so as to have the same size, so that the player P can play as if dancing at the same position as the plurality of dancers.

In S13, the control unit 70 performs a front moving image creation process.
The control unit 70 performs image processing on the two play videos from the imaging unit 40, creates a video with a field angle from the front of the player P, and creates a front video in which dancer videos 61a and 61b are added thereto. . In addition, when the video of the dancer on the screen 25 is included in the play moving image acquired by the imaging unit 40, the control unit 70 deletes the video of the dancer by performing image processing.
In this case, the control unit 70 corrects the dancer size of the dancer moving image to be the same as the size of the player P.
The control unit 70 stores the front moving image in the front moving image storage unit 66.

In S <b> 14, the control unit 70 determines whether or not all the videos of the single-line dance are finished and the play is finished. When it is determined that the play has ended (S14: YES), the control unit 70 proceeds to S30. On the other hand, when it is determined that the play has not ended (S14: NO), the processing from S10 is repeated.
Thus, in the single row dance, the player P can select and play a dancer that he / she wants to take charge of among dance units composed of a plurality of dancers.

(Dance before)
The pre-dance process will be described with reference to FIGS.
In S21, the control unit 70 starts playing the previous dance.

In S <b> 22, the control unit 70 outputs dance music from the speaker 45 and projects two dancer videos 62 a on the screen 25.
The control unit 70 projects the dancer moving image 62a in which the dancer size of the dancer moving image 62a is enlarged on the screen 25 so that the dancer is positioned at 1 m on the rear side Y2 of the player P.
That is, also in the previous dance, similarly to the one-line dance, the observation mode on the mirror unit 10 by the player P has a problem that the dancer is observed small. The control unit 70 solves this problem by displaying an image in which the size of the dancer is enlarged.
The control unit 70 makes the enlargement rate of the dancer animation 62a of the previous dance smaller than the dancer animations 61a and 61c of the single-line dance. The reason is that in the case of a single dance where the dancer is located in the same row as the player P and in the case of a pre-dance where the dancer is located on the rear side Y2 of the player P, the latter dancer image is observed to be smaller for the player P. It is to be done.

Thereby, the dance apparatus 1 can project the dancer moving image 62a so that a plurality of dancers are located behind the player P and between the player P and the screen 25. For this reason, the player P can play as if dancing in front of a plurality of dancers (so-called center).
Although illustration and detailed description are omitted, the control unit 70 may project a part of the dancer's body on the floor 29 in the case of the previous dance as well as the single-line dance. In this case, the control unit 70 may project the position so that the position of 1 m on the rear side Y2 of the player P is the position of the foot (toe) of the dancer.

In S23, the control unit 70 performs a front moving image creation process.
The control unit 70 performs image processing on the two moving images from the imaging unit 40 and creates a moving image from the front of the player P, as in S13.
Further, the control unit 70 deletes the dancer image on the screen 25 and adds the dancer moving image 62a in the storage unit 50. In this case, the control unit 70 corrects the dancer moving image 62a so that the dancer is positioned at 1 m on the rear side Y2 of the player P. Thereby, the control unit 70 can create a front moving image by arranging the player P and the plurality of dancers in an arrangement corresponding to the observation mode of the mirror unit 10.
The control unit 70 stores the front moving image in the front moving image storage unit 66.

  In S24, the control unit 70 determines whether or not all the images of the previous dance are finished and the play is finished. When it is determined that the play is ended (S24: YES), the control unit 70 proceeds to S30. On the other hand, when it is determined that the play is not ended (S24: NO), the processing from S22 is repeated.

In S30, the control unit 70 ends the series of processes.
Thereafter, the control unit 70 projects the front moving image stored in the front moving image storage unit 66 on the screen 25 or outputs it to an external device (such as a portable information terminal) according to the operation of the operation unit 2. Thereby, the player P can confirm his dance after play.

Note that the dance apparatus 1 may be provided with a detection unit (for example, an imaging device) that detects the dancer moving image reflected in the mirror unit 10 and the size of the player P. In this form, in S12 and S22, the control unit 70 can control the size of the dancer moving image on the screen 25 based on the output of the detection unit. For this reason, in this embodiment, since the adjustment work of the size of the dancer moving image projected on the screen 25 is not required according to the length between the mirror unit 10 and the screen 25 at the time of installation, the dance device 1 can be easily performed. Can be installed.
In the configuration without the detection unit or the like, when the length between the mirror unit 10 and the screen 25 changes according to the installation environment, the size of the dancer moving image projected on the screen 25 by adjusting the projector 21 at the time of installation. It is necessary to adjust the thickness. For this reason, in the form without this detection part etc., the installation operation | work of a dance device becomes complicated.

  As described above, in the dance apparatus 1 of the present embodiment, the player P and a plurality of dancers can be observed on the mirror unit 10. Thereby, the player P becomes a member of an actual dance unit or the like and can feel as if he is dancing.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.
In the following description and drawings, parts having the same functions as those of the first embodiment described above are given the same reference numerals or the same reference numerals at the end (the last two digits), and overlapping explanations are appropriately given. Omitted.
FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of the dance apparatus 201 according to the second embodiment as viewed from the right side X2.
The floor 229c between the player P and the screen 225 is inclined so as to reach the lower side Z1 as it reaches the rear side Y2.
The screen 225 is provided until reaching the floor 229c.
The projector 221 projects dancer moving images (see dancer moving images 61a and 61b in FIG. 5) up to the lower area 225a of the screen 225. In this case, the projector 221 projects the dancer's feet on the lower area 225 a of the screen 225.

Since the floor 229c is inclined, the player P can observe up to the lower region 225a of the screen 225 with the mirror unit 10 (see arrow A). For this reason, the observation mode of the mirror unit 10 by the player P matches the position of the foot of the player P and the position of the foot of the dancer in the dancer video in the vertical direction Z.
For this reason, the player P can observe with the mirror part 10 so that the player P and the dancer of a dancer animation are located in a line in the left-right direction X.

Thereby, the dance apparatus 201 can realize a single-line dance play without projecting a dancer video onto the floor 229. Further, the player P can play in a more natural observation mode.
In addition, when only the front dance is played, the dance apparatus 201 can arrange the inclined floor 229c-2 on the rear side Y2, as indicated by a dotted line in the figure. In this case, the player P can play without worrying about the inclination of the floor 229c-2.
Moreover, the dance apparatus 201 may include a step having a recessed floor instead of the inclined floors 229c and 229c-2.

  Further, the dance apparatus 201 may include a bar 229d elongated in the left-right direction X on the rear side Y2 of the player P. The bar 229d may be attached to a column (not shown) provided on the floor 229 or the like. For example, the bar 229d is disposed at a position where the floor 229 and the inclined floor 229c (or the inclined floor 229c-2) intersect in the front-rear direction Y, and the waist height of the player P in the vertical direction Z (For example, about 1 m).

  As a result, the player P is restrained from going to the rear side Y2 from the bar 229d, so that the player P can play without worrying about the inclined floor 229c. Further, the player P can practice while being held by the stick 229d.

(Third embodiment)
Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described.
FIG. 8 is a perspective view of the dance apparatus 301 of the third embodiment as viewed from the right side X2.
FIG. 9 is a view of the dance apparatus 301 of the third embodiment as viewed from the upper side Z2.
The dance device 301 includes a magic mirror 310, a monitor 320 (320L, 320C, 320R) (dancer moving image display unit), a monitor moving device 325, and position detection units 330L, 330C, 330R.
The magic mirror 310 is an optical member that looks like a mirror from the bright side but looks beyond the dark side. The player P is located on one side of the magic mirror 310 that is the rear side Y2 in the drawing, and the other side of the magic mirror 310 that is the front side Y1 in the drawing (the side of the magic mirror 310 opposite to the player P side) ) Is provided with a monitor 320.
The space on the player P side relative to the magic mirror 310 is sufficiently bright. On the other hand, the space on the monitor 320 side of the magic mirror 310 is darker than the space on the player P side. For this reason, the player P can observe the play image PA reflected on the magic mirror 310. Further, since the display on the monitor 320 has sufficient luminance, the player P can observe the moving image on the monitor 320 through the magic mirror 310.

The magic mirror 310 includes a central observation region 310C (play image observation mirror unit), a left observation region 310L (dancer moving image observation unit), and a right observation region 310R (dancer moving image observation unit).
The central observation region 310C is a central region of the magic mirror 310. The central observation area 310C is an area where the player P observes the play image PA. The central observation area 310C is a portion facing the player P playing at the reference position PC.
The central observation area 310C is arranged to face the player P located at the reference position PC. The player P observes a play image PA that is an image of a dance play in the central observation area 310C.
The left observation area 310L and the right observation area 310R are areas on the left side X1 and the right side X2 of the central observation area 310C, respectively. The player P can observe the dancer moving image of the monitor 320L in the left observation region 310L, and can observe the dancer moving image of the monitor 320R in the right observation region 310R.

The monitor 320 (320L, 320C, 320R) is a display device that displays a dancer moving image. The monitor 320 is a liquid crystal display device, for example. The display screen of each monitor 320 is large enough to display a life-size dancer.
The monitor 320C is provided in the central area of the area facing the player P located at the reference position PC. The monitors 320L and 320R are respectively provided in the left side X1 and right side X2 regions of the central region. That is, the monitors 320L, 320C, and 320R are disposed on the front side Y1 in the figure of the left observation area 310L, the central observation area 310C, and the right observation area 310R of the magic mirror 310, respectively.

As shown in FIG. 9A, with the above-described configuration, the player P can observe his / her play image PA in the central observation area 310C while playing at the reference position PC, and the left observation area 310L, The dancer moving images of the monitors 320L and 320R can be observed in the right observation area 310R.
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 9B, in a state where the player P is playing at the right side X2 of the reference position PC, his / her play image PA can be observed in the right observation area 310R, and the right observation area 310R. The dancer moving images of the monitors 320C and 320R can be observed in order from the left to the left X1.

As shown in FIG. 8, the monitor moving device 325 is a device that moves the monitor 320 integrally in the front-rear direction Y. The monitor moving device 325 includes rails, wheels, a motor, and the like. The moving range of the monitor 320 is about 2 to 3 m from the magic mirror 310.
For this reason, the monitor 320 has a distance of about 2 m from the magic mirror 310 at the position P320a closest to the magic mirror 310, and the distance from the magic mirror 310 at the position P320b farthest from the magic mirror 310. It is about 3m.

The position detection units 330L, 330C, and 330R are sensors that detect the position of the player P. There is a type of dance in which the player P moves left and right from the reference position PC. The position detection units 330L, 330C, and 330R are provided to detect the movement of the player P.
The position detection units 330L, 330C, and 330R are, for example, load cells.
The position detection unit 330L is disposed on the floor surface on the left side X1 of the reference position PC.
The position detection unit 330C is disposed on the floor surface of the reference position PC.
The position detector 330R is disposed on the floor surface on the right side X2 of the reference position PC.

FIG. 10 is a block diagram of the dance apparatus 301 of the third embodiment.
The dancer videos 362a and 362b of the previous dance program 362 are individual information, like the dancer videos 61a to 61c of the one-line dance program 61. For this reason, the dance apparatus 301 can output the dancers of the dancer videos 362a and 362b individually.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart of processing of the dance apparatus 301 according to the third embodiment.
(Single line dance)
The processing up to S11 is the same as in the first embodiment.
In S311a, the control unit 370 controls the monitor moving device 325 to place the monitor 320 at the position P320a.
In S312, the control unit 370 outputs dance music from the speaker 45 as in S12 of the first embodiment.
Further, the control unit 370 displays the dancer animations 61a and 61c of the two dancers located on the left side X1 and the right side X2 on the monitors 320L and 320R in a life-size manner. The control unit 370 displays an image whose luminance is sufficiently small and the entire screen is black (hereinafter referred to as “black screen”).
Therefore, the player P can observe the dancer videos 61a and 61c of the monitors 320L and 320R through the magic mirror 310, and can observe the play image PA with the magic mirror 310 (see FIG. 9A).

Thereby, the player P can observe the play image PA and the dancer moving images 61a and 61c simultaneously. For this reason, the dancers of the dancer moving images 61a and 61c passing through the magic mirror 310 have an effect of being observed with an illusion like a dancer reflected in the mirror.
Further, the player P is located about 2 m on the rear side Y2 of the magic mirror 310. The monitor 320 is located about 2 m on the front side Y1 of the magic mirror 310. Therefore, the player P observes that the play image PA in the central observation region 310C, the dancer moving image dancer in the right observation region 310R, and the dancer moving image dancer in the left observation region 310L have the same size. Is done. Thereby, the player P can play with the feeling that the player P and dancer are located in a line.

In S312a, the control unit 370 determines whether or not the player P has moved based on the outputs of the position detection units 330L, 330C, and 330R. When it is determined that the player P has moved (S312a: YES), the control unit 370 proceeds to S330. On the other hand, when it is determined that the player P has not moved (S312a: NO), the control unit 370 proceeds to S13. .
In addition, when progressing to S330, the control part 370 performs a display position change process. Details of the display position changing process will be described later.

  In S314, the control unit 370 determines whether or not all the videos in the single-line dance are finished and the play is finished. When it is determined that the play is finished (S314: YES), the control unit 370 proceeds to S30. On the other hand, when it is determined that the play is not finished (S314: NO), the processing from S312a is repeated.

(Dance before)
The processing up to S21 is the same as in the first embodiment.
In S321a, the control unit 370 controls the monitor moving device 325 to place the monitor 320 at the position P320b.
In S322, the control unit 370 outputs dance music from the speaker 45 as in S22 of the first embodiment.
In addition, the control unit 370 displays the dancers of the two dancer videos 362a and 362b located on the left side X1 and the right side X2 on the monitors 320L and 320R in a life-size manner. That is, the control unit 370 displays the dancers in life size in both the single-line dance and the previous dance. Further, the control unit 370 displays a black screen on the monitor 320C.
For this reason, as indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 9A, the player P can observe the dancer videos 362a and 362b of the monitors 320L and 320R through the magic mirror 310, as in S312, and The play image PA can be observed with the magic mirror 310.

  Further, the player P is located about 2 m on the rear side Y2 of the magic mirror 310. The monitors 320L and 320R are located about 3 m on the front side Y1 of the magic mirror 310. Therefore, the player P observes that the dancer of the dancer video 362a in the left observation area 310L and the dancer of the dancer video 362b in the right observation area 310R are smaller than the play image PA in the central observation area 310C. The As a result, the player P can play as if a dancer is dancing 1 m behind the player P.

  In S322a, the control unit 370 determines whether or not the player P has moved based on the outputs of the position detection units 330L, 330C, and 330R, as in S312a. When determining that the player P has moved (S322a: YES), the control unit 370 proceeds to S340. On the other hand, when determining that the player P has not moved (S322a: NO), the control unit 370 proceeds to S23. .

  In S324, the control unit 370 determines whether or not all the videos in the single-line dance are finished and the play is finished. When it is determined that the play is finished (S324: YES), the control unit 370 proceeds to S30. On the other hand, when it is determined that the play is not finished (S324: NO), the processing from S322a is repeated.

The display position changing process (S330, S340) will be described.
FIG. 12 is a flowchart of the display position change process (S330) of the third embodiment.
In S331, the control unit 370 determines whether or not the player P has moved from the reference position PC to the right side X2 based on the output of the position detection unit 330R. When it is determined that the control unit 370 has moved to the right side X2 (S331: YES), the control unit 370 proceeds to S331a. On the other hand, when it is determined that it has not moved to the right side X2 (S331: NO), the control unit 370 proceeds to S332. .
In S331a, as shown in FIG. 9B, the control unit 370 displays the dancer moving image 61c on the central monitor 320C and displays the black screen on the right X2 monitor 320.
Thereby, the player P can observe his play image PA in the right observation area 310R. In addition, the player P can observe the dancer video 61c of the monitor 320C and the dancer video 61a of the monitor 320L in order from the right X2 on the left X1 of the right observation area 310R. For this reason, the player P can play with the feeling that a total of three people, two dancers and the player P, are lined up even when the player P is moved to the right side X2 from the reference position PC.

In S332, the control unit 370 determines whether or not the player P has moved from the reference position PC to the left side X1 based on the output of the position detection unit 330L. When it is determined that the control unit 370 has moved to the left side X1 (S332: YES), the process proceeds to S332a. On the other hand, when it is determined that it has not moved to the left side X1 (S332: NO), the process proceeds to S333. .
In S332a, the control unit 370 displays the dancer video 61a on the central monitor 320C, and displays a black screen on the monitor 320L on the left side X1 (not shown).
Thereby, similarly to S331a, the player P can observe his / her play image PA in the left observation area 310L and can observe the dancer moving images 61a and 61b displayed on the monitors 320C and 320R. As a result, the players P can play with the feeling that a total of three players are lined up.

In S333, the control unit 370 determines whether or not the player P has moved to the reference position PC based on the output of the position detection unit 330C. This process is performed when the “process of S331a or S332a → the process of returning to the process of FIG. 11 (S330)” is performed and the player P returns to the reference position PC again.
When it is determined that the player P has moved to the reference position PC (S333: YES), the control unit 370 proceeds to S333a. On the other hand, when it is determined that the player P has not moved to the reference position PC (S333: NO). ), Go to S334.
In S333a, the control unit 370 changes the monitor 310 that displays the dancer moving images 61a and 61b to the initial state, that is, the state illustrated in FIG.
In S334, the control unit 370 proceeds to S13 of the process of FIG.
Returning to FIG. 11, in the repeated processing from S312a, the control unit 370 continuously displays the dancer moving images 61a and 61b on the monitor 320 changed by the display position changing process.

The process of S340 is the same as the process of S330.
For example, when it is determined that the player P has moved to the right side X2, the control unit 370 displays the dancer moving image 362b on the center monitor 320C and displays the black screen on the right side X2 monitor 320R. As described above, since the dancer animations 362a and 362b of the previous dance according to the present embodiment are individual information, each dancer can be displayed on the individually selected monitor 320.
On the other hand, when determining that the player P has moved to the left side X1, the control unit 370 displays the dancer moving image 362a on the central monitor 320C and displays the black screen on the left side X1 monitor 320L.

  As described above, when the player P moves from the reference position PC in the display position changing process (S330, S340), the dance device 301 switches the dancer video from the monitor 320L or the monitor 320R to the central monitor 320C. indicate. For this reason, the dance apparatus 301 can respond to a play in which the player P moves.

  As described above, the dance device 301 according to the present embodiment uses the magic mirror 310 and the monitor 320 to allow the player P to observe the play image PA and the dancer moving image. Thereby, the dance device 301 can provide a play in which the player P is dancing together with the dancer, as in the first embodiment.

  Note that the display position changing process of this embodiment can also be applied to the first and second embodiments. In this case, the position detection units 330L, 330C, and 330R may be added to the first and second embodiments, and the control unit may change the display position of the dancer moving image on the screen in the same manner as the present embodiment.

Moreover, you may deform | transform the dance apparatus 301 of this embodiment as follows.
(1) Although the monitor 320 demonstrated the example which can be moved, it is not limited to this. The monitor 320 may be fixed at the installation position. In this embodiment, as in the first embodiment, it is possible to deal with both a single dance and a previous dance by changing the dancer size of the dancer video.

(2) Although the monitor 320 has been described as being installed at a distance of about 2 to 3 m from the magic mirror 310, the present invention is not limited to this. The monitor 320 may be installed at a position closest to the magic mirror 310 (for example, about several tens of millimeters). In this embodiment, as in the first embodiment, it is possible to deal with both a single dance and a previous dance by changing the dancer size of the dancer video.

(3) Although the dance apparatus 301 has shown the example provided with the monitor 320, it is not limited to this. The dance device 301 may be provided with a screen instead of the monitor 320. Also in this form, the control unit 370 produces the above effect by projecting the dancer moving image from the projector onto the screen. Also in this form, it is possible to cope with both a single dance and a front dance by moving the screen in the front-rear direction or by changing the dancer size of the dancer video.

(Fourth embodiment)
Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described.
In addition, in the following description and drawings, parts having the same functions as those of the third embodiment in addition to the first embodiment described above are appropriately given the same reference numerals or the same reference numerals at the end (last two digits). Thus, overlapping description will be omitted as appropriate.
FIG. 13: is the perspective view which looked at the dance apparatus 401 of 4th Embodiment from the right side X2.
FIG. 14 is a cross-sectional view of the dance apparatus 401 according to the fourth embodiment as viewed from the right side X2.
The dance device 401 includes a mirror unit 10 and a display device 420.
The display device 420 includes a projector 421 (projection unit) and a screen 425.
The screen 425 is disposed on the player P side of the mirror unit 10.
The screen 425 includes a plurality of unit screens 426 arranged in a horizontal grid pattern.
The unit screen 426 is a member elongated in the left-right direction X. The plurality of unit screens 426 are arranged in the vertical direction Z.
A surface on the player P side (rear side Y2) of the unit screen 426 is a projection surface 427 on which a dancer moving image is actually projected. The color of the projection surface 427 is, for example, a white system in order to clearly form a dancer moving image projected from the projector 421.

The unit screen 426 is disposed so as to have a gap 428 between adjacent projection planes 427 in the vertical direction Z.
In the drawings, the size of the unit screen 426 (such as the length in the vertical direction Z) is shown larger than the actual size in order to clarify the shape. For example, as for the size of the unit screen 426 and the size of the gap 428, the length in the vertical direction Z is about several mm to several tens of mm, respectively.
The control unit (see the control unit 370 shown in FIG. 10) projects the dancer moving image on the screen 425 instead of displaying it on the monitor.

The play image PA of the player P located at the reference position PC passes through the gap 428 and reaches the central observation region 10C (play image observation mirror unit) of the mirror unit 10, and then is inclined in the central observation region 10C. Pass through the gap 428. Thereby, the player P can observe the play image PA in the central observation area 10 </ b> C of the mirror unit 10.
On the other hand, the dancer moving image projected on the left X1 and right X2 portions of the central observation region 10C in the projection plane 427 of the unit screen 426 forms an image on the projection plane 427. Thereby, the player P can observe the dancer of the dancer video (see arrow D).

The operation of the dance device 401 will be described.
FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating an image observed by the mirror unit 10 according to the fourth embodiment.
FIG. 15A is an image observed in a single-row dance play.
FIG. 15B is an image observed in the previous dance play.
In the dance device 401, the control unit projects a dancer moving image on the screen 425, so that a single row dance and a previous dance can be played.
The content of the projected dancer moving image is the same as in the third embodiment, as will be described below.

As shown in FIG. 15A, when the operation unit 2 is operated and the single dancer and the center dancer are selected, the control unit projects dancer moving images 61a and 61c. The control unit projects the dancer moving images 61a and 61c so that the dancer moving images 61a and 61c have the same size as the play image PA and are observed at the same position as the position of the play image PA in the vertical direction Z.
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 15B, when the previous dance is selected by operating the operation unit 2, the control unit projects dancer moving images 362a and 362b. The control unit projects the dancer moving images 362a and 362b so that the dancer moving images 362a and 362b are smaller in size than the play image PA and are observed at a position above the play image PA in the vertical direction Z.

Although detailed description is omitted, the control unit performs the same display position changing process as that of the third embodiment (see S330 and S430 in FIG. 10, and FIG. 11). In the display position changing process of the present embodiment, the control unit displays the dancer moving image projected on the side on which the player P has moved in the left-right direction X in accordance with the output of the position detection units 330L, 330C, 330R. Display in the center of. Thereby, the dance device 401 has the same effect as the third embodiment by the display position changing process.
Furthermore, processes such as the front moving image creation process (S13, S24 in FIG. 4) are the same as those in the first embodiment.

  As described above, the dance device 401 according to the present embodiment includes the lattice-shaped screen 425 on the front side of the mirror unit 10, so that the player P performs the same dance play as in the first and third embodiments. be able to.

FIG. 16 is a cross-sectional view (a figure corresponding to FIG. 14) of the dance apparatus 401B of the fourth embodiment.
The dance device 401B is obtained by changing the shape of the screen 425B from the dance device 401.
The projection surface 427B of the unit screen 426B of the screen 425B is an inclined surface that reaches the upper side Z2 as it reaches the mirror unit 10 side.
Since the projection surface 427B is an inclined surface, the angle formed by the projection light of the projector 421 (see projection light 421a and 421b) is closer to a right angle than in the case of the dance device 401. For this reason, the projector 421 can project a dancer moving image with little distortion even if the projector 421 does not support short focus.
Further, the projection surface 427B approaches the horizontal plane as much as the unit screen 426B disposed on the lower side Z1. For this reason, even with the unit screen 426B arranged on the lower side Z1, the angle formed by the projection surface 427B and the projection light of the projector 421 (see the projection light 421b) is close to a right angle, so a dancer movie with little distortion is projected. be able to.

(Fifth embodiment)
Next, a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described.
The dance device 501 (photographing device) according to the fifth embodiment is obtained by adding a function of generating an image played by the player P to the first embodiment.
FIG. 17 is a perspective view of the dance apparatus 501 of the fifth embodiment as viewed from the right side X2.
FIG. 18 is a view of the dance apparatus 501 of the fifth embodiment as viewed from the upper side Z2.
The dance device 501 includes a camera image 535 (line-of-sight guidance unit) and four speakers 545 (line-of-sight guidance unit, sound output unit).
The camera image 535 is an image of the shape of the camera displayed on the screen 25 (display unit). The camera image 535 is a mark that guides the line of sight of the player P. The camera image 535 is reflected by the mirror unit 10 and observed by the player P, thereby guiding the line of sight of the player P. In the embodiment, the direction for guiding the line of sight of the player P is hereinafter referred to as a “line of sight guiding direction 535a”.

The four speakers 545 are the area on the front side Y1 of the player P, and are arranged diagonally in the vertical and horizontal directions. The four speakers 545 can control the direction in which the player P can hear the sound by controlling the volume and the like.
In addition to dance music, the four speakers 545 output a signal sound for guiding the line of sight of the player P. The cue sound is, for example, applause. The direction in which the signal is heard matches the line-of-sight guidance direction 535a. Note that the cue sound may be a recording of the voice of a person such as a voice actor.

FIG. 19 is a flowchart of processing of the dance apparatus 501 of the fifth embodiment.
FIG. 20 is a flowchart of the line-of-sight image creation processing S531 according to the fifth embodiment.
FIG. 21 is a diagram illustrating an image 531 generated by the line-of-sight image creation process of the fifth embodiment.
Hereinafter, an example of the process (S530, S531) in the single-line dance will be described, but the process of the previous dance (S540, S541) is the same.
In S530, the control unit (see the control unit 70 shown in FIG. 3) determines whether or not to perform a line-of-sight image creation process during the play time. That is, the control unit performs this determination while the play is continuing (a process in which the process from S12 is repeated by “S14: NO”).

The line-of-sight image creation process may be performed at a predetermined time in the play time, or may be performed at an irregular time in the play time. The control unit performs several line-of-sight image creation processes in which the line-of-sight guidance direction 535a is changed during one play.
If it is determined that the line-of-sight image creation process is to be performed (S530: YES), the control unit proceeds to S531, whereas if it is determined not to be performed (S530: NO), the control unit proceeds to S14.
In S531, the control unit performs a line-of-sight image creation process.

The line-of-sight image creation process (S531) will be described with reference to FIG.
In S532, the control unit performs a line-of-sight guidance process.
In the line-of-sight guidance process, two processes of projecting the camera image 535 and reproducing the cue sound are performed as follows.

Projection of Camera Image 535 As shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, the control unit projects the camera image 535 onto the screen 25 by controlling the projector 21.
The camera image 535 is reflected by the mirror unit 10 and observed by the player P. Thus, the player P can confirm that an image from the line-of-sight guidance direction 535a is generated before several seconds have elapsed from the present time. The player P can determine a pose with a good photo by turning his / her face in the line-of-sight guidance direction 535a as if it were actually captured by the camera.

-Reproduction of cue sound The control unit matches the direction in which a cue indicating that the image is picked up by controlling the sound output unit with the line-of-sight guidance direction 535a. Thereby, the player P is focused on the direction in which the cue sound can be heard, and the line of sight is naturally guided. Further, it can be confirmed that an image from the line-of-sight guidance direction 535a is generated in the same manner as the projection of the camera image 535.

  In this way, the player P can direct his / her line of sight to the camera image 535 observed on the mirror unit 10 while confirming his / her play image PA reflected on the mirror unit 10.

In S533, the control unit determines whether or not the current time is an imaging time. The control unit determines whether or not the line-of-sight guidance processing time (line-of-sight guidance time) has continued for several seconds.
When it is determined that the current time is the imaging time point (S533: YES), the control unit proceeds to S534. On the other hand, when it is determined that the current time point is not the imaging time point (S533: NO), the processing from S532 is repeated. .

In S534, the control unit acquires the imaging information (image) of the player P from two directions by controlling the imaging unit 40. Further, the control unit ends the line-of-sight guidance process.
Accordingly, the control unit can capture an image of the player P in a state where the line of sight of the player P is guided in the line-of-sight guidance direction 535a.

In S535, as illustrated in FIG. 21, the control unit generates a line-of-sight image 536 from the line-of-sight guidance direction 535a. This line-of-sight image 536 is generated by image processing similar to the front moving image creation processing (S13).
As shown in FIG. 21, this allows the control unit to generate a line-of-sight image 536 as if the player P was photographed from the line-of-sight guidance direction 535a.
As described above, since the dance apparatus 501 performs image processing on the imaging information of the two imaging units 40, it is possible to generate a line-of-sight image 536 from the line-of-sight guidance direction 535a without actually arranging a camera in the line-of-sight guidance direction 535a. . Further, the dance device 501 can generate the line-of-sight image 536 in each line-of-sight guidance direction 535a in a state where the imaging unit 40 is fixed, even when the line-of-sight guidance direction 535a is changed in each line-of-sight image creation process.
In addition, the pseudo-experience in which the player P is photographed with the camera directed at a very short time of the line-of-sight guidance processing time (for example, about several seconds) during the dance play time (for example, about several minutes to several tens of minutes). Can do.

The control unit stores information on the line-of-sight image 536 in the storage unit (see the storage unit 50 shown in FIG. 3).
The information of the line-of-sight image 536 is projected on the screen 25 or output to an external device (such as a portable information terminal) as in the case of the front moving image. Accordingly, the player P can check the line-of-sight image 536 after playing.
In S536, the control unit proceeds to S14 in FIG.

  As described above, the dance device 501 of the present embodiment can generate an image from the line-of-sight guidance direction 535a by prompting the player P who is playing to face the line-of-sight guidance direction 535a. In addition, since the dance device 501 makes a change of shooting while playing silently, it is possible to prevent the play from becoming monotonous, so that the fun can be improved.

  In addition, although the dance apparatus 501 of this embodiment showed the example provided with the camera image 535 and the speaker 545 as a gaze guidance part, it is not limited to this. The dance apparatus 501 may include only one of the camera image 535 and the speaker 545 as a line-of-sight guidance unit.

(Sixth embodiment)
Next, a sixth embodiment of the present invention will be described.
In the following description and drawings, parts having the same functions as those of the third and fifth embodiments in addition to the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals or the same reference numerals at the end (last two digits). It attaches | subjects suitably and the overlapping description is abbreviate | omitted suitably.
The dance device 601 (imaging device) is obtained by adding a function for generating a line-of-sight image similar to that of the fifth embodiment to the dance device 301 of the third embodiment.

FIG. 22 is a perspective view of the dance apparatus 601 of the sixth embodiment as viewed from the right side X2.
The dance device 601 includes a lamp 635 (line-of-sight guidance unit, mark) and a camera 640 (imaging unit).
The lamp 635 is disposed on the side opposite to the player P side of the magic mirror 310 (front side Y1 in the figure). The lamp 635 is fixed to the camera 640. The distance between the lamp 635 and the lens of the camera 640 is sufficiently short, for example, about several tens of mm.
The camera 640 is a device that images the player P. The camera 640 is arranged on the opposite side of the magic mirror 310 from the player P side, similarly to the lamp 635. The camera 640 is installed by a tripod or the like (not shown).

The operation of the dance device 601 will be described.
The line-of-sight image creation processing of the present embodiment differs from the line-of-sight image creation processing of the fifth embodiment (see S532 shown in FIG. 19 and FIG. 20) in the following points.
The control unit (see the control unit 70 shown in FIG. 3) causes the lamp 635 to emit light in the line-of-sight guidance process (see S532 shown in FIG. 20). The lamp 635 has sufficient luminance. For this reason, the player P can visually recognize the lamp 635 through the magic mirror 310. As a result, the player P is guided to the line-of-sight direction 635a in which the lamp 635 is disposed. The processing related to the reproduction of the cue sound is the same as that in the fifth embodiment.

-A control part acquires the imaging information of the player P by controlling the camera 640 (refer S534 shown in FIG. 20). That is, the control unit acquires imaging information acquired by one camera 640 instead of acquiring imaging information of the two imaging units 40. In this case, since the distance between the camera 640 and the lamp 635 is sufficiently short, the camera 640 can directly capture an image of the player P facing the line-of-sight guidance direction 635a.

-A control part produces | generates the image of the player P based on the imaging information of the camera 640 (refer S535 shown in FIG. 20). That is, the control unit does not perform image processing on the imaging information of the two imaging units 40, but generates an image of the player P by performing image processing on the imaging information of one camera 640. Since the camera 640 can directly capture an image of the player P facing the line-of-sight guidance direction 635a, the control unit can generate a more natural image.

  As described above, the dance device 601 of the present embodiment can generate a more natural image by capturing an image of the player P located on one side of the magic mirror 310 from the other side of the magic mirror 310.

Note that the dance device 601 of this embodiment may be modified as follows.
(1) Although the example of generating the image of the player P facing the line-of-sight guidance direction 635a based on the imaging information of the camera 640 has been described, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, this image may be generated based on the imaging information of the two imaging units 40 as in the fifth embodiment. In this case, the configuration of the apparatus can be simplified.

(2) Although the dance apparatus 601 has been described with an example in which a lamp is provided as a light emitting unit, the present invention is not limited to this. The dance device 601 may display an object that emits light on the monitor 320 (320L, 320C, 320R), for example, as a light emitting unit. In this case, the configuration of the apparatus can be simplified.

(3) Although an example in which one camera 640 is arranged on the side opposite to the magic mirror player has been described, the present invention is not limited to this. A plurality of cameras 640 may be arranged on the side opposite to the magic mirror player. In this case, similarly to the two imaging units 40, the control unit may generate an image of the player P facing the line-of-sight guidance direction 635a based on imaging information from a plurality of directions by the plurality of cameras 640. . In this case, similarly to the fifth embodiment, it is possible to generate images in a plurality of line-of-sight guidance directions 635a with the camera 640 fixed.

(Seventh embodiment)
Next, a seventh embodiment of the present invention will be described.
In the following description and drawings, parts having the same functions as those of the above-described second embodiment will be given the same reference numerals or the same reference numerals at the end (the last two digits), and overlapping descriptions will be appropriately given. Omitted.
FIG. 23 is a cross-sectional view of the dance apparatus 701 of the seventh embodiment as viewed from the right side X2.
The dance device 701 (photographing device) is obtained by adding a transparent plate 729d to the second embodiment.

The transparent plate 729d is a transparent plate material such as glass or acrylic. Since the surface of the transparent plate 729d is parallel to the ZX plane which is a vertical plane, it faces the mirror 10.
The transparent plate 729d is disposed on the rear side Y2 of the player P. For example, in the front-rear direction Y, the transparent plate 729d is disposed at a position where the floor 229 and the inclined floor 229c (or the inclined floor 229c-2) intersect.

  Further, the height of the transparent plate 729d is higher than the height of the player P and large enough to allow the player to observe the whole body of the dancer projected on the screen 225 (see arrow B). That is, the upper end of the transparent plate 729d is positioned on the upper side Z2 of the line of sight where the player P observes the dancer. The height of the transparent plate 729d is, for example, about 2 m. For this reason, the player P can observe the whole body of the dancer projected on the screen 225 through the transparent plate 729d.

  Thereby, the player P is restrained from going to the rear side Y2 from the transparent plate 729d, so that the player P can play without worrying about the inclined floor 229c. In addition, the player P can observe the entire body of the dancer projected on the screen 225 in a mode with less distortion and the like.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to embodiment mentioned above, For example, a various deformation | transformation and change are possible, and they are also in the technical scope of this invention. is there. In addition, the effects described in the embodiments are merely a list of the most preferable effects resulting from the present invention, and the effects of the present invention are not limited to those described in the embodiments. The above-described embodiments can be used in appropriate combination, but detailed description thereof is omitted.
