Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To give increased presence feeling to swimmers and observers by projecting, on a screen, a picture from a projection display device on the outside of a pool which is provided with transparent wall surfaces and generating bubbles and jets according to the image. SOLUTION: A picture on a projection unit 22 is projected on a screen 21. Also a pool container is made transparent so that a picture on the screen 21 can be enjoyed from swimmers 16 and observers 14 through the transparent plate 1 of the pool container. Then a bubble generator and a jet generator are provided on a flowing water pool, the direction of jet generating port is varied according to the image, and bubbles are generated. In addition, a filter or a lenticular sheet is overlapped on the transparent plate 1. With this constitution, both the swimmers 16 and observers 14 in and outside a pool can enjoy the presence feeling image at the same time. The filter and lenticular sheet are used to make unclear the outside profile of a projection type display device from the observers 14 so as to make clear the image.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to pool equipment in which an image of a projection type display device is projected on a wall of a pool or underwater to enjoy diving, swimming practice or swimming in a realistic manner.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a pool using images, a sea where a swimmer or a diver is projected on the wall or bottom of the pool,
A diving pool where you can feel the presence of diving in the sea, lake or river by watching the images in the lake or river. The image projected from a projector with the wall of the pool installed outside. Is a screen that can be seen from inside, and there is a pool configured so that the projector can be moved and / or swayed. An example of this type of pool is the diving pool described in JP-A-6-221009.

[0003]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention
In Japanese Patent No. 009, since the projector is movable and / or swingable, the image projected on the wall surface of the pool is scattered over a wide range of the wall surface of the pool, and the image can be viewed and the swimming range is widened. . Therefore, there is a feature that each of the scattered swimmers can surely enjoy the presence by seeing the image.

However, forming the screen of the projection type display device including the current screen and the projection unit over a wide area of the entire wall surface of the pool increases the cost of the entire pool because the screen itself is expensive. Only by itself, the video resources and video software used are scarce, and the range of use is small. The object of the present invention has been made in view of the above points, and the object thereof is to provide a multi-purpose video apparatus that can be configured without increasing the cost of the entire pool and has a more realistic image device according to the purpose of use. To provide pool facilities.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, a pool is configured with the following elements.

(1) A liquid is put in a container made of a transparent plate, the image of the projection unit is displayed on the screen, and the image is monitored through the screen and the transparent plate, the screen and the transparent plate and the liquid, and the screen and the transparent plate and the liquid and the transparent plate. did.

(2) Bubble generating means for generating bubbles in the liquid,
A jet flow generating means for generating a jet flow is provided, a screen of the projection display device, a bubble, a means for displaying an image by the projection display device on the bubble and the jet flow, and a means for changing the direction of the mound according to the content of the image. Equipped with.

(3) The projection display device is provided with means for moving it up and down, left and right, and rotating, and the projection distance between the screen of the projection display device and the projection unit is variable.

(4) A filter or a lenticular sheet is placed on the whole or a part of the transparent plate so that the screen of the projection display device is only one of the lenticular sheet and the Fresnel lens sheet.

(5) A liquid is put in a container made of a transparent plate or a lenticular sheet, and a projection type display device composed of a projection unit and a screen is arranged around the container, and the screen of the projection type display device is lenticular or Fresnel lens. Only one side of the sheet was used.

(6) A liquid is put in a transparent plate or a container made of a transparent plate and an opaque plate, and the container is supported by a course line provided in the container or a lower part around the bottom, and the projection type display device The video was divided for each course line.

[0012]
