Description

Specification

Stereoscopic ability training device, game machine with stereoscopic ability training device, and medical device with stereoscopic ability training device

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a stereoscopic ability training device capable of performing training suitable for a viewer's stereoscopic ability, a game device including the stereoscopic ability training device, and a medical device including the stereoscopic training device.

Background art

The inventors have devised and prototyped a large number of stereoscopic image display methods and devices capable of visually recognizing stereoscopic images with the naked eye.

These stereoscopic image display devices arrange a light-emitting diode array (LED array) as a light source, irradiate the light from these light sources to the image display means as linearly polarized light having different declination between the left and right light sources, and A transmissive liquid crystal display (LCD) is used as the display means, and a polarizing filter with a different polarization angle is arranged for each LCD display pixel or scanning line, and the left and right image display areas set in front of the LCD Are configured to display the respective images. By adjusting the left and right viewpoints of the viewer so as to be arranged in the left and right display areas in front of the stereoscopic video display device, the stereoscopic video can be observed with the naked eye.

While using such a stereoscopic video display device, there are many cases where the viewer cannot actually recognize the stereoscopic video even when the viewer observes the video from a predetermined position. We noticed something.

That is, even if the stereoscopic video display device displays a normal stereoscopic video, the viewer may not be able to obtain a stereoscopic effect. Such a phenomenon that the sense of standing of the image cannot be obtained may occur depending on the display arrangement environment, but even in the display arrangement environment in which the viewer can view stereoscopically, stereoscopic vision is not possible. There is an audience.

For viewers who cannot perform such stereoscopic vision, since the right or left eye is the dominant eye, stereoscopic vision recognition using both eyes cannot be performed well, and images are relied solely on this dominant eye. Is considered to be the cause. Then, a person who cannot perform binocular stereopsis in this way may unconsciously recognize the video based only on the video information from the dominant eye and not use the information from the other eye as image recognition. It is believed that.

The cause of such visual recognition with only the dominant eye is that the user always looks at a 3D image such as a natural scene and usually looks at a flat object at a short distance, such as a computer monitor, video game, television, or pachinko machine. Gaming machines, etc. It is considered that the reason is that the operation of staring at the screen of the gaming device is repeated on a daily basis.

If such visual habits relying on the dominant eye continue, the ability to perform stereoscopic vision recognition in daily life may decline, which may hinder daily life, sports, vehicle driving, and the like.

It is clear from the public literature that even people who rely on the dominant eye can obtain normal stereoscopic ability by performing stereoscopic training using both eyes. ing.

According to this well-known document ("Basic Binocular Vision-Basic to Clinical Application I"), Shinji Seki, April 17, 1995, first edition, published by Koyu Shuppan Co., Ltd., pages 13 to 16: There are two types of vision: binocular vision and monocular vision with both eyes. When a human looks at an object, an image is obtained with the left and right eyes (both eyes), and this is recognized as a stereoscopic image by the brain. For this reason, it is said that human visual acuity must be judged as binocular visual acuity as well as monocular visual acuity and viewing angle.

According to the above-mentioned known documents, it has been pointed out that binocular vision has the following advantages over monocular vision.

1) Field of view is expanded: about 25% wider than monocular field of view.

2) The size of the object can be measured. Perspective measurement is possible.

3) Visual augmentation: 10% to 20% of visual acuity is enhanced compared to monocular vision.

In addition, even if it is called stereoscopically, it is functionally described as follows.

(1) Simultaneous viewing

Ability to see different figures simultaneously with left and right eyes.

When the eyesight of one eye is weak, simultaneous viewing becomes impossible because the person who naturally looks better starts to use the eye preferentially.

(2) Stereoscopic vision

The ability to see things stereoscopically by recognizing parallax caused by the difference in the position of the left and right eyes.

Stereoscopic vision is achieved by using both eyes at the same time from birth and looking far and near. If you keep watching the monitor of a television computer for a long time, or continue your two-dimensional life without going outdoors, your stereoscopic ability will decrease.

(3) Fusion

The ability to recognize the same object separately reflected on the left and right retinas.

This ability does not develop unless both eyes are used properly from birth. In particular, if only one eye is used preferentially, this ability will be reduced. However, by giving priority to the view of the person who is not using it, the fusion ability can be prevented from being reduced and developed. In this way, the binocular vision ability that humans were originally born and developed Has begun to decline due to changes in the environment in the modern societies.

In view of this situation, many training devices or training methods have been proposed in the past.However, since these conventional training methods are performed by staring at a simple stationary planar figure or an artificial screen, a certain effect is obtained. Although it was seen, it was uninteresting and had problems with continuity.

In addition, in the conventional training methods described above, consideration was often not given to individual differences among viewers, for example, differences in eye spacing and stereoscopic ability, which were uniform. .

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has as its object the purpose of the present invention is to provide a stereoscopic ability training apparatus capable of effectively recovering a diminished binocular stereoscopic ability in a natural state. It is an object of the present invention to provide a game device equipped with a stereoscopic ability training device and a medical device equipped with a stereoscopic ability training device.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG.

First, the configuration of the stereoscopic ability training apparatus 1 will be described.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a stereoscopic ability training apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In this example, the stereoscopic ability training device 1 receives a stereoscopic video signal from outside or from a video signal output device, and outputs the stereoscopic video display device 2 to the left and right eyes 61 a and 61 of the viewer 60. A glasses-free system that displays different images or stereoscopic images in full color in the left and right eye zones where b is located is adopted.

The three-dimensional image display device 2 includes a light-emitting diode array (LED array) 5 as a light source in which a large number of white diodes are arranged in two stages, and polarizing plates 6 a and 6 b corresponding to the LED array 5 in each stage. , Are installed.

The LED array 5 is illuminated at two places on the left and right, and generates light for displaying left and right images. Further, the polarizing plates 6a and 6b give different deflection angles by using the light of the LED array 5 as light for left and right display.

The three-dimensional image display device 2 includes a liquid crystal panel 4 for displaying a color stereoscopic image, a three-dimensional display polarizing plate 7 for separating the displayed image left and right, and a Fresnel for separating light from the light source left and right. Mold convex lens 3 is installed.

The liquid crystal panel 4 is controlled so that images having parallax for the left and right eyes are displayed every other line or in a checkered pattern. In addition, the polarizing plate for stereoscopic display 7 displays light from the left and right light sources only in the left-eye zone and the right-eye zone, so that polarizing plates 6 a and 6 b having different declinations are arranged on the liquid crystal display panel 4. It is arranged one line at a time or alternately in a pine pattern.

Further, the three-dimensional image display device 2 includes a display control means 11 for controlling display of a three-dimensional image, and light source control means 12 for controlling lighting of the LED array 5.

The display control means 11 is connected to a controller 16 as an operation means. The controller 16 can use a generally used remote control device, game pad, keyboard, joystick, or the like. The stereoscopic ability training apparatus 1 configured as described above can display a stereoscopic video signal input as an external signal. In addition to the content for training in stereoscopic ability, general images such as games and movies in stereoscopic or planar display are input to the external signal. The

Also, the stereoscopic ability training apparatus 1 displays an image for training the stereoscopic ability based on an image signal based on a training pattern stored in advance in the video signal output device 15, whereby the external stereoscopic image signal It is also possible to perform stereoscopic ability training without inputting the information.

In the stereoscopic ability training apparatus 1, the controller 16 is operated to send an operation signal to the display control means 11 so that an image can be operated during stereoscopic ability training or during a game in a game. it can.

It should be noted that the LED array 5, the polarizing plate 6, the display control means 11, the light source control means 12, and the operation means 16, which constitute these stereoscopic image display devices 2, are only required to use well-known ones. A detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In addition, the stereoscopic video display device 2 is not limited to the stereoscopic image display system having the above-described configuration, but may use a parallax sparia system, a lenticular system, or another system. Further, in the present invention, in addition to the above-mentioned non-metallic type, well-known glasses type, goggle type, and head mounted display can also be adopted.

Next, a case will be described in which stereoscopic ability training is performed using the stereoscopic ability training apparatus 1 according to the present example.

FIG. 2 shows a display image of the stereoscopic ability training apparatus 1 according to the present example and an image recognized by a viewer. This image signal may be stored in the video signal output unit 15 or may be input to the display control unit 11 as an external signal. '.

In this example, separate images are displayed for the left and right eyes, and the state of the stereoscopic image recognition ability of the left and right eyes is determined based on the appearance.

That is, in this example, as shown in FIG. 2 (a), a triangle 203 is displayed as the left-eye image 201a, and a +204 is displayed as the right-eye image 201b.

These images are stored in the image information output means 15 in this example, and are displayed on the stereoscopic image display device 2 via the display control means 11. When this image is displayed, only the 2 mark 203 is displayed on the viewer's left eye, and only the + mark 204 is displayed on the right eye.

In such a display state, if the viewer has the stereoscopic ability, the viewer is given a mark 203 in the display frame 205 as shown in FIG. 2 (b). It is possible to recognize the image 206 in which the + mark 204 is superimposed.

On the other hand, when the viewer does not have the stereoscopic recognition ability, that is, when the viewer's visual acuity relies on the dominant eye, as shown in Fig. 2 (c) or Fig. 2 (d), the display frame 2 Only the symbol 2 13 or the symbol 2 14 in 0 5 is recognized. In this example, 〇 When only the mark 2 13 is recognized, it can be determined that the viewer has the left eye as the effect and does not recognize the information of the right eye. On the other hand, when only the + symbol 214 is recognized, it can be determined that the viewer has the right eye as the effect and does not recognize the left eye information.

By displaying such an image, it becomes possible to perform stereoscopic vision by training so that the figure 206 shown in FIG. 2 (b) can be seen.

FIG. 3 shows another example of use of the stereoscopic ability training apparatus 1. In this example, the image 209 displayed on the display screen 2 can be displayed by sequentially changing the depth position (209 a to 209 f), that is, changing the amount of parallax.

The display position of this pattern is arbitrary, but the display position can be moved continuously or stepwise (see arrow A). In addition, the change in the depth of the image is small (for example, in the range of 209f to 209c), large (for example, in the range of 209a to 209f), or vice versa. It is configured so that it can be changed freely.

Of course, this change can be freely changed from a short time (momentary to several seconds) to a long time (tens of seconds to fixed).

Furthermore, the example of use shown in Fig. 4 is a game in which the incoming ball 2 3 1 hits the putt 2 32, in which the ball 2 3 1 is stereoscopically viewed, and the ball 2 3 2 is set in accordance with the movement timing. By configuring to shake, it is possible to train stereoscopic ability while having fun.

Such training of stereoscopic ability or recovery of stereoscopic vision can be performed at a desired time.However, when the training is performed in a game using a stereoscopic video display device, at the start of the game and during the game, It is more effective and effective to configure stereoscopic vision training so that the simulation of stereoscopic ability training starts automatically after at least one opportunity at the end of the game or after playing the game for a certain period of time. Can provide training for capacity building. If this training is implemented during the game, if it is configured to be a part of the game content, it is possible to train the stereoscopic ability without knowing by playing the game.

Of course, the stereoscopic ability training or the stereoscopic recovery training is not limited to the training according to the game mode. For example, when the display device of the computer is activated, before the computer is terminated, or during the activation. By displaying the information after the required work is completed, and by configuring it as a screen saver, it is possible to perform stereoscopic ability training and recovery training without knowing it.

In addition, such a display mode may be realized by incorporating the training software during the broadcast by the stereoscopic video display device (including when playing back a video or a DVD), or May be configured to broadcast the training software immediately after the start-up or before the end of the stereoscopic video display device.

In the above example, a simple configuration of the game has been described as an example. However, any game that is generally used as an arcade game, a home video game, or a portable video game can be used. Such a device can be used for this training device. Examples of suitable games include a three-dimensional crane-type prize acquisition game, a three-dimensional balling game, a three-dimensional ball game or a shooting game, a mouth-to-mouth playing game, an action game, an adventure game, a sports simulation game, a simulation game, a puzzle, a quiz A wide variety of games can be used, such as games, maze games, and table games.

Further, in such a stereoscopic ability training apparatus 1, the position of an image to be stereoscopically viewed on the display screen can be changed vertically and horizontally, or the viewer can change the position with respect to the stereoscopic ability training apparatus 1. By configuring to perform stereoscopic vision, stereoscopic ability training can be performed more effectively.

FIGS. 5 to 7 show an example in which the stereoscopic ability training apparatus 310 having the above configuration is applied to a pachinko gaming machine 300. FIG.

In this example, the number frames 310, 320, and 330 that move back and forth are displayed in a three-dimensional manner on the stereoscopic image display device 310 of the pachinko gaming machine 300.

In other words, as shown in FIG. 7, in the number frames 3 0, 3 2 0, 3 3 0, the number plate 3 3 1, 3 4 1, 3 5 1 force displaying “7”, as shown in FIG. For 60, it is recognized as moving along the arrows B1 to B3 from position 36 1 to position 36 2 independently of the front and back. In this case, when all the dials 3 3 1, 3 4 1, 3 5 1 are stopped at the nearest position 3 61, intermediate position or depth position, or the same number or It is set to be a big hit when the symbols etc. are completed.

As a result, the player 60 enthusiastically watches the numeral plates 331, 341, and 351 moving back and forth, and the stereoscopic vision training is carried out unconsciously. The three-dimensional display using the numeral frame and the numeral plate is merely an example, and in the present invention, various three-dimensional displays can be adopted for pachinko gaming machines.

As described above, the stereoscopic ability training apparatus 1 according to the present invention includes, in addition to the pachinko gaming machine, a portable or business video game machine, a spinning-type gaming machine, an arrangement pole gaming machine, a jani ball gaming machine, or It can be used for various gaming machines having a known configuration, such as slot machine gaming machines.

Further, the pattern of the displayed graphics and the content of the game are not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various patterns can be adopted. Further, the stereoscopic vision training device 1 according to the present invention can be adopted for a medical device. In this case, first, the stereoscopic vision training apparatus 1 is used to measure and determine the subject's stereoscopic recognition ability. For this determination, the test pattern shown in FIG. 2 can be used. Further, for measuring the stereoscopic ability, as shown in FIG. 8, a floor 401 having a depth in the stereoscopic image display device 2, a fixed pin 402 on the floor, and a movable movable in the front-rear direction. When the subject operates a controller (not shown), the moving pin 403 is moved to a position parallel to the fixed pin 402. . By performing such a test several times and measuring the displacement between the positions of the pins 402 and 403, the three-dimensional recognition ability of the subject can be measured.

Further, when performing the stereoscopic ability training based on such a stereoscopic ability judgment result, as shown in FIG. 3, it is possible to carry out by changing the depth of the image and displaying the image. Dedicated content for medical use can also be used, and effective training of stereoscopic ability can be under the guidance of specialists.
