Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, in the structure of the presentation system disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-6687 (JP-A-2000-6687), the image of the hand displayed by the display part is generated based on the image data from one camera, thereby only Realize two-dimensional display
Therefore, the user operates the operation switch in the operation part while seeing the image of the hand (displayed on the same plane as the operation menu image), thereby making it difficult to grasp the sense of distance between the operation switch and the hand.
resulting in poor operability

Abstract

The invention relates to an operating device that includes: an operating portion in which an operation switch is disposed; a display portion that allows stereoscopic vision to be viewed by naked-eye; an image pickup mechanism that takes pictures of a hand of a user operating the operating portion, from a plurality of directions; and a displayed image generation device that generates a stereoscopic image of the hand based on parallax images obtained from the image pickup device. An operation menu image that depicts a position of the operation switch in the operating portion and a function of the operation switch, and a stereoscopic image of the hand generated by the displayed image generation device, and the compounded image is displayed in the display.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an operation device which superimposes an image of a user's hand operating an operation part on an operation menu image. Background technique [0002] A known on-vehicle equipment switch safety operating system is characterized in that it includes: a multi-function switch operation panel, in which various switches for actuating or operating various on-board equipment are collectively arranged; a display, which is arranged in the vehicle within the field of view in a suitable position so that the operator can see the display by looking forward and it shows in its screen an image of the switch arrangement; and the controller etc. as follows. That is, when the operator operates a target switch among the switches with a finger, the controller makes the operator recognize the position and function of the image displayed on the display screen of the target switch according to the detection signal generated when the target swi...
