1.4.まとめ
2.第2の実施形態(視線検出部を備える例)
3.変形例
[1.1.システム構成]
まず、図1~図3を参照して、本開示の第1の実施形態に係るHMDを使用したシステムの一例として、内視鏡システムについて説明する。なお、図1は、本実施形態に係る内視鏡システム1の一構成例を示すシステム構成図である。図2は、本実施形態に係るHMD100をユーザが装着している状態を示す概略側面図である。図3は、HMD100の表示面152、154を示す概略図である。
「装着者」:HMDを装着している人
「非装着者」:HMDを装着していない人
また、「装着者」が複数存在するとき、1人の「装着者」に対し、それ以外のHMDの装着者を「他の装着者」ともいう。
本実施形態に係るHMD100において、表示部152、154に表示される情報を複数切り替え可能な場合、装着者の眼が本体部110で覆われているために、HMD100の装着者が何を見ているのか、本人以外は認識することができない。そこで、本実施形態に係るHMD100には、本体部110の外表面に、HMD100の装着者が視認している情報を表す通知部170が設けられている。通知部170は、HMD100を装着している本人以外が視認できる位置に設けられていればよい。通知部170の構成として、例えば図4~図7に示すような形態が考えられる。
HMD100の装着者は、プロセッサユニット200から提示される内視鏡装置等の医療映像や、HMD100の撮像部112により撮影された映像を切り替えながら、手術を行う。このとき、HMD100には、表示部152、154に外部機器400等の情報が表示されるとともに、本体部110の通知部170により、HMD100の装着者が視認している情報が通知される。以下、図8に基づき、本実施形態にかかる内視鏡システム1におけるHMD100への情報表示制御および通知制御について説明する。
以上、本実施形態に係る内視鏡システム1において、HMD100に表示する情報の提示方法について説明した。本実施形態によれば、HMD100の装着者が視認している情報に応じて通知部170を制御し、HMD100の装着者が視認している情報を非装着者に通知する。これにより、非装着者は、共同して作業を行っているHMD100の装着者が現在何を見て作業を行っているのか把握することが可能となる。その上で会話や指示を行うので、ユーザ間のコミュニケーションを容易に図ることが可能となり、連携ロスの発生等を回避することができる。
次に、図9に基づいて、本開示の第2の実施形態に係るHMDを使用したシステムにおける通知制御について説明する。本実施形態では、第1の実施形態と同様、内視鏡システムを例として説明する。なお、図9は、本実施形態に係る内視鏡システム1を構成するHMD100およびプロセッサユニット200の機能構成を示す機能ブロック図である。なお、図9には、HMD100の表示部152、154の表示制御を行う際に機能する機能部と、HMD100の通知制御機能とを示しており、実際には、他の機能部を備えているものとする。
上記実施形態では、HMD100の装着者が視認している情報をHMD100に設けられた通知部170により通知したが、本開示はかかる例に限定されない。例えば、各装着者が視認している情報を通知する通知部170は、プロセッサユニット200に設けてもよい。
