[0008] (Summary of the Disclosure) Below, several examples of rendering devices according to the present disclosure are presented.

[0009] A production device according to a first aspect of the present disclosure is a production device that releases energy toward a space and produces a effect on the space, and includes an output unit that outputs the energy, a deformable outer shell, a deformation amount sensor that detects the amount of deformation of the outer shell, and a control unit that controls the output content of the output unit based on the detection result of the deformation amount sensor.

[0010] According to this, the output contents of the output unit are controlled by the deformation amount of the outer shell, so the user can control the output contents by deforming the outer shell. In particular, the user can control the output contents in a variety of ways by adjusting the deformation amount of the outer shell, which provides a high level of entertainment. In this way, a highly entertaining production device can be provided.

[0011] In a second aspect of the present disclosure, for example, in the performance device according to the first aspect, the outer shell may cover the deformation amount sensor.

[0012] According to this, since the outer shell covers the deformation sensor, the size can be reduced compared to a case where the deformation sensor is provided outside the outer shell.

[0013] In a third aspect of the present disclosure, for example, in the performance device according to the first or second aspect, the outer shell may be elastically deformable.

[0014] According to this, since the outer shell is elastically deformable, the outer shell elastically returns to its original shape when the external force is released after being deformed by the external force, which saves the user the trouble of returning the outer shell to its original shape.

[0015] In a fourth aspect of the present disclosure, for example, in the performance device relating to the third aspect, the control unit may return the output content to an initial state when the detection result of the deformation amount sensor returns to an initial value.

[0016] According to this, when the detection result of the deformation amount sensor returns to the initial value, that is, when the outer shell returns to its original shape, the output content returns to the initial state, so that it can be easily restored to the initial state.

[0017] In a fifth aspect of the present disclosure, for example, in a performance device relating to any one of the second to fourth aspects, the shape of the outer shell before deformation may be any one of a sphere, a hemisphere, a cylinder, a polygonal prism, a truncated cone, and a truncated polygonal pyramid.

[0018] With this, even if the shape of the outer shell before deformation is any one of a sphere, hemisphere, cylinder, polygonal prism, truncated cone, and truncated polygonal pyramid, the user can control the output content in a variety of ways by adjusting the amount of deformation of the outer shell, thereby increasing interest.

[0019] In a sixth aspect of the present disclosure, for example, in any one of the first to fifth aspects of the performance device, an acceleration sensor may be provided for detecting acceleration of the performance device, and the control unit may control the output content based on the detection result of the acceleration sensor.

[0020] According to this, since the output contents are controlled based on the acceleration of the performance device in addition to the deformation amount of the outer shell, the user can control the output contents in various ways by, for example, displacing the performance device, which provides the user with a higher level of interest.

[0021] In a seventh aspect of the present disclosure, for example, the production device of the sixth aspect may be provided with an angular velocity sensor that detects the angular velocity of the production device, and the control unit may control the output content based on the detection result of the angular velocity sensor.

[0022] According to this, since the output contents are controlled based on the angular velocity of the production device in addition to the deformation amount of the outer shell, the user can control the output contents in a variety of ways by, for example, adjusting the attitude of the production device, which provides the user with a higher level of interest.

[0023] In an eighth aspect of the present disclosure, for example, in the performance device of the seventh aspect, the control unit may control different types of parameters included in the output content for each of the detection results of the deformation amount sensor, the detection result of the acceleration sensor, and the detection result of the angular velocity sensor.

[0024] According to this, different types of parameters are controlled for each of the detection results of the deformation amount sensor, the detection results of the acceleration sensor, and the detection results of the angular velocity sensor. For example, when the output contents include a first parameter, a second parameter, and a third parameter, the detection result of the deformation amount sensor can correspond to the first parameter, the detection result of the acceleration sensor can correspond to the second parameter, and the detection result of the acceleration sensor can correspond to the third parameter. In other words, the user can control the first parameter by adjusting the deformation amount of the outer shell, the second parameter by displacing the performance device, and the third parameter by adjusting the attitude of the performance device. In this way, since various operations on the performance device are associated with different types of parameters, the user can easily control the output contents as intended. Therefore, it is possible to further increase the interest.

[0025] In a ninth aspect of the present disclosure, for example, in the performance device of the seventh or eighth aspect, the control unit may change the output content over time based on a change over time in at least one of the detection result of the deformation amount sensor, the detection result of the acceleration sensor, and the detection result of the angular velocity sensor.

[0026] According to this, the output contents are changed over time based on the change over time of at least one of the detection results of the deformation amount sensor, the detection result of the acceleration sensor, and the detection result of the angular velocity sensor, so that it is possible to control the output contents in a more diverse manner, thereby making it possible to further increase the interest.

[0027] In a tenth aspect of the present disclosure, for example, in the performance device of any one of the first to ninth aspects, the output section may include a light emitting section that emits light as the energy.

[0028] According to this, since the light from the light-emitting unit is controlled by the amount of deformation of the outer shell, the user can control the light from the light-emitting unit by deforming the outer shell. In particular, the user can control the light from the light-emitting unit in various ways by adjusting the amount of deformation of the outer shell, which is highly interesting.

[0029] In an eleventh aspect of the present disclosure, for example, in the performance device of the tenth aspect, the output content may include at least one of a color, an illuminance, and a lighting pattern of the light.

[0030] According to this, at least one of the color, illuminance, and lighting pattern of the light from the light-emitting portion can be controlled by the amount of deformation of the outer shell, thereby making the device more interesting.

[0031] In a twelfth aspect of the present disclosure, for example, in the performance device of the tenth or eleventh aspect, the outer shell may be translucent and cover the light-emitting portion.

[0032] According to this, since the outer shell covers the light emitting unit, it is possible to reduce the size compared to the case where the light emitting unit is provided outside the outer shell. Also, since the outer shell has translucency, the light of the light emitting unit can be emitted outside the outer shell, and the outer shell itself can be impressed on the user as a light emitting body. Since the user can control the light of the light emitting body by deforming the outer shell, it is possible to further increase the interest.

[0033] In a thirteenth aspect of the present disclosure, for example, in the performance device of the eleventh or twelfth aspect, the output section may include a sound source that outputs sound as the energy.

[0034] According to this, since the light from the light emitting unit and the sound from the sound source are controlled by the deformation amount of the outer shell, the user can control the light from the light emitting unit and the sound from the sound source by deforming the outer shell. In particular, the user can feel a high level of interest since the light and sound can be controlled in various ways by adjusting the deformation amount of the outer shell.

[0035] In a fourteenth aspect of the present disclosure, for example, in the performance device of the thirteenth aspect, the output content may include at least one of the volume, tone, rhythm pattern, and melody pattern of the sound.

[0036] According to this, at least one of the volume, tone, rhythm pattern, and melody pattern of the sound from the sound source can be controlled by the amount of deformation of the outer shell, thereby making the device more entertaining.

[0037] In a fifteenth aspect of the present disclosure, for example, in the performance device of the thirteenth or fourteenth aspect, the sound source may be disposed at a lower part of the outer shell.

[0038] With this, the sound source is disposed in the lower part of the outer shell, so that the size can be reduced while preventing the sound source from blocking the light from the light-emitting part.

[0039] In a sixteenth aspect of the present disclosure, for example, in the performance device of the thirteenth or fourteenth aspect, the output unit may have a communication unit that communicates the output content to an external audio device that outputs sound as the energy.

[0040] According to this, since the communication section communicates the output contents to the external audio device, it is possible to control the external sound source.

[0041] In a seventeenth aspect of the present disclosure, for example, in the performance device of the first to ninth aspects, the output section may include a sound source that outputs sound as the energy.

[0042] According to this, since the sound from the sound source is controlled by the deformation amount of the outer shell, the user can control the sound from the sound source by deforming the outer shell. In particular, the user can control the sound from the sound source in various ways by adjusting the deformation amount of the outer shell, which is highly interesting.

[0043] [Embodiment Mode] Hereinafter, the embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that each of the embodiments described below shows a specific example of the present disclosure. The numerical values, shapes, materials, components, arrangement positions and connection forms of the components shown in the following embodiments are merely examples and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. Furthermore, among the components in the following embodiments, components that are not described in the independent claims showing the highest concept will be described as optional components.

[0044] In addition, each figure is a schematic diagram and is not necessarily illustrated precisely. Therefore, for example, the scales in each figure do not necessarily match. In addition, in each figure, substantially the same configurations are given the same reference numerals, and duplicated explanations are omitted or simplified.

[0045] Furthermore, in this specification, terms indicating the relationship between elements, such as parallel or perpendicular, terms indicating the shape of elements, such as rectangle or cuboid, and numerical ranges are not expressions that only express a strict meaning, but are expressions that include a substantially equivalent range, for example, a difference of about a few percent.

[0046] In this specification and the drawings, the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis directions indicate the three axes of a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system. The X-axis and Y-axis directions indicate directions perpendicular to each other in a horizontal plane, and the Z-axis direction indicates an up-down direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane. Depending on the mode of use, the Z-axis direction may not be the up-down direction, but for the sake of convenience, the following description will be given assuming that the Z-axis direction is the up-down direction.

[0047] Fig. 1 is a front view showing rendering device 10 according to the embodiment. Fig. 2 is a top view of rendering device 10 according to the embodiment. In Figs. 1 and 2, an outer shell 30 provided on rendering device 10 is indicated by a dashed line. Fig. 3 is a block diagram showing a control configuration of rendering device 10 according to the embodiment. Hereinafter, rendering device 10 will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 3.

[0048] The performance device 10 is a device that emits energy into a space and produces a performance in the space, and has a main body 20 and a light-transmitting outer shell 30 that covers a portion of the main body 20.

[0049] The main body 20 is a main part of the performance device 10, and includes a frame 40, an output unit 50, a deformation amount sensor 61, and a control unit 70. An end of the main body 20 in the negative Z-axis direction is exposed from the outer shell 30.

[0050] The frame 40 is a portion that holds the output unit 50, the detection unit 60, and the control unit 70. The frame 40 is formed from resin or metal. The frame 40 includes a base portion 41, an intermediate portion 42, and a ceiling portion 43, which are arranged in this order from the negative Z-axis direction to the positive Z-axis direction. The base portion 41 is formed in a cylindrical shape with the Z-axis direction as its axial direction. The intermediate portion 42 is a portion that protrudes in the positive Z-axis direction from the upper end portion (the end portion in the positive Z-axis direction) of the base portion 41. The intermediate portion 42 has a disk-shaped step portion 421 and a cylindrical shaft portion 422. The step portion 421 is provided at the center of the upper end portion of the base portion 41, and has a smaller diameter than the base portion 41. The shaft portion 422 is provided at the center of the upper end portion of the step portion 421, and has a smaller diameter than the step portion 421 and a longer length in the Z-axis direction. The ceiling portion 43 is a disk-shaped portion provided coaxially on the upper end portion of the shaft portion 422. The diameter of the ceiling portion 43 is approximately equal to the diameter of the step portion 421.

[0051] The output unit 50 includes a light-emitting unit 51 that emits light as energy, and a sound source 52 that outputs sound as energy. The light-emitting unit 51 has a first light-emitting unit 511 and a second light-emitting unit 512. The first light-emitting unit 511 and the second light-emitting unit 512 are each annular light-emitting modules. The light-emitting module has a plurality of light-emitting elements such as LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) or organic EL (Electroluminescence) elements, and the plurality of light-emitting elements are arranged in a ring shape. The light-emitting elements may be, for example, full-color LEDs.

[0052] The first light-emitting portion 511 is disposed on the upper surface of the step portion 421 so as to surround the shaft portion 422. The second light-emitting portion 512 is disposed on the upper surface of the ceiling portion 43 so as to follow the outer peripheral edge of the ceiling portion 43. In this manner, the first light-emitting portion 511 and the second light-emitting portion 512 are disposed at different positions in the Z-axis direction. For example, when only the first light-emitting portion 511 emits light, the ceiling portion 43 blocks the light from the first light-emitting portion 511, causing a shadow. On the other hand, when only the second light-emitting portion 512 emits light, the ceiling portion 43 blocks the light from the second light-emitting portion 512, causing a shadow. However, if the first light-emitting portion 511 and the second light-emitting portion 512 emit light at the same time, the respective shadows can be canceled out by the respective lights, and it is possible to make the entire outer shell 30 emit light evenly.

[0053] The sound source 52 is, for example, a speaker, and is disposed inside the frame 40. Specifically, the sound source 52 is disposed inside the base portion 41 of the frame 40.

[0054] Detection unit 60 detects various states of representation device 10. Specifically, detection unit 60 includes a deformation amount sensor 61, an acceleration sensor 62, and an angular velocity sensor 63.

[0055] The deformation amount sensor 61 is, for example, an optical distance measuring sensor, and is disposed in the center of the upper surface of the ceiling portion 43. The deformation amount sensor 61 detects the distance to the upper inner surface of the outer shell 30 by emitting infrared rays in the positive direction of the Z axis and receiving infrared rays reflected by the upper inner surface of the outer shell 30. For example, the detection value of the deformation amount sensor 61 when the outer shell 30 is in a state before deformation is set as an initial value. When the outer shell 30 is deformed, the distance from the deformation amount sensor 61 to the upper inner surface of the outer shell 30 changes, and the difference between the detection value of the deformation amount sensor 61 at that time and the initial value is the deformation amount of the outer shell 30.

[0056] Acceleration sensor 62 is disposed inside frame 40, and detects the acceleration of production device 10. In other words, acceleration sensor 62 detects the acceleration when production device 10 is moved by the user.

[0057] Angular velocity sensor 63 is disposed inside frame 40, and detects the angular velocity of production device 10. In other words, angular velocity sensor 63 detects the attitude of production device 10.

[0058] The control unit 70 controls the output unit 50 (the light-emitting unit 51 and the sound source 52). The control unit 70 has a CPU, a RAM, and a ROM, and the CPU controls each unit by expanding a program stored in the ROM into the RAM and executing it. The control method executed by the control unit 70 will be described later.

[0059] The outer shell 30 is a hollow elastic body having translucency, and the main body 20 is attached to the lower part thereof. Specifically, the outer shell 30 is formed in a spherical shape from a resin material having translucency and elasticity, such as silicone resin. The base part 41 of the frame 40 is exposed from the lower part of the outer shell 30, and the part above the base part 41 is covered by the outer shell 30. In other words, the outer shell 30 covers the light emitting part 51 and the deformation amount sensor 61. As described above, the outer shell 30 has translucency, so that the light from the light emitting part 51 passes through the outer shell 30 and is emitted to the outside.

[0060] For example, when a user presses the upper part of the outer shell 30, the outer shell 30 elastically deforms. When the user releases the pressure on the outer shell 30, the outer shell 30 elastically returns to its original shape (spherical). In this way, the outer shell 30 is elastically deformable. The amount of elastic deformation of the outer shell 30 is detected by the deformation amount sensor 61.

[0061] [Control method] Next, a method for controlling the output unit 50 by the control unit 70 will be described.

[0062] The control unit 70 controls the output contents of the output unit 50 based on the detection results of the detection unit 60. Specifically, the control unit 70 individually controls the output contents of the light-emitting unit 51 and the sound source 52 based on the detection results of the detection unit 60. The detection results of the detection unit 60 include the detection results of the deformation amount sensor 61, the detection results of the acceleration sensor 62, and the detection results of the angular velocity sensor 63. Different types of parameters are controlled for each of the detection results of the deformation amount sensor 61, the detection results of the acceleration sensor 62, and the detection results of the angular velocity sensor 63.

[0063] The output contents of the light emitting unit 51 include parameters such as light color, illuminance, and light emission pattern. The light emission pattern includes constant lighting and blinking. For example, the detection result of the deformation amount sensor 61 is associated with illuminance, the detection result of the acceleration sensor 62 is associated with a light emission pattern, and the detection result of the angular velocity sensor is associated with a light color. This combination is one example, and various combinations can be adopted.

[0064] For example, when the outer shell 30 is not elastically deformed, the control unit 70 turns off the light emitting unit 51 and sets the output content to the initial state. When the outer shell 30 is gradually recessed and the detection result of the deformation amount sensor 61 gradually increases, the control unit 70 controls the light emitting unit 51 so that the illuminance gradually increases in conjunction with this. On the other hand, when the outer shell 30 gradually elastically returns to its original state and the detection result of the deformation amount sensor 61 gradually decreases, the control unit 70 controls the light emitting unit 51 so that the illuminance gradually decreases in conjunction with this. Finally, when the outer shell 30 returns to its original shape and the detection result of the deformation amount sensor 61 returns to its initial value, the control unit 70 turns off the light emitting unit 51 and sets the output content to the initial state.

[0065] When the detection result of the acceleration sensor 62 remains at the initial value, the control unit 70 controls the output content of the light-emitting unit 51 so that the light-emitting pattern is constantly lit. When the detection result of the acceleration sensor 62 increases suddenly as a result of the user striking the outer shell 30 or the like on the performance device 10, the control unit 70 controls the output content of the light-emitting unit 51 so that the light-emitting pattern flashes. The control unit 70 may change the flashing interval in conjunction with fluctuations in the level of impact.

[0066] When the detection result of the angular velocity sensor 63 remains at the initial value, the control unit 70 controls the output content of the light-emitting unit 51 so that the color of the light becomes white light. When the detection result of the angular velocity sensor 63 changes due to the user changing the attitude of the performance device 10, the control unit 70 controls the output content of the light-emitting unit 51 so that the color of the light changes. At this time, the control unit 70 may change the color of the light in a gradational manner.

[0067] The output contents of the sound source 52 include parameters such as volume, tone, rhythm pattern, melody pattern, etc. For example, the detection result of the deformation amount sensor 61 is associated with volume, the detection result of the acceleration sensor 62 is associated with melody pattern, and the detection result of the angular velocity sensor is associated with rhythm pattern. This combination is one example, and various combinations can be adopted.

[0068] For example, when the outer shell 30 is not elastically deformed, the control unit 70 turns off the sound source 52 and sets the output content to the initial state. When the outer shell 30 is gradually recessed and the detection result of the deformation amount sensor 61 gradually increases, the control unit 70 controls the sound source 52 so that the volume gradually increases in conjunction with this. On the other hand, when the outer shell 30 gradually elastically returns to its original state and the detection result of the deformation amount sensor 61 gradually decreases, the control unit 70 controls the sound source 52 so that the volume gradually decreases in conjunction with this. Finally, when the outer shell 30 returns to its original shape and the detection result of the deformation amount sensor 61 returns to its initial value, the control unit 70 turns off the sound source 52 and sets the output content to the initial state.

[0069] When the detection result of the acceleration sensor 62 remains at the initial value, the control unit 70 selects a predetermined melody pattern from a plurality of melody patterns and controls the output content of the sound source 52. When the detection result of the acceleration sensor 62 suddenly increases due to an impact on the performance device 10, such as when the user strikes the outer shell 30, the control unit 70 selects another melody pattern and controls the output content of the sound source 52.

[0070] When the detection result of the angular velocity sensor 63 remains at the initial value, the control unit 70 controls the output content of the sound source 52 so as to obtain a standard rhythm pattern. When the detection result of the angular velocity sensor 63 fluctuates as a result of the user varying the posture of the performance device 10, the control unit 70 controls the output content of the sound source 52 so as to change the rhythm pattern. At this time, the control unit 70 may change the rhythm pattern in a gradational manner.

[0071] [Effects, etc.] According to this embodiment, the output contents of the output unit 50 are controlled by the amount of deformation of the outer shell 30, so the user can control the output contents by deforming the outer shell 30. In particular, the user can control the output contents in a variety of ways by adjusting the amount of deformation of the outer shell 30, which provides a high level of entertainment. In this way, a highly entertaining production device 10 can be provided.

[0072] Since the outer shell 30 covers the deformation sensor 61, the deformation sensor 61 can be made smaller than when it is provided outside the outer shell 30.

[0073] Since the outer shell 30 is elastically deformable, the outer shell 30 elastically returns to its original shape when the external force is released after it has been deformed by the external force, which saves the user the trouble of returning the outer shell 30 to its original shape.

[0074] When the detection result of the deformation amount sensor 61 returns to the initial value, that is, when the outer shell 30 returns to its original shape, the output content returns to the initial state, so that the initial state can be easily restored.

[0075] Even if the shape of the outer shell 30 before deformation is spherical, the user can control the output contents in a variety of ways by adjusting the amount of deformation of the outer shell 30, thereby increasing the interest.

[0076] Since the output contents are controlled based on the amount of deformation of the outer shell 30 as well as the acceleration of the performance device 10, the user can diversify the output contents by, for example, displacing the performance device 10. This allows the user to feel a higher level of interest.

[0077] Since the output contents are controlled based on the angular velocity of the performance device 10 in addition to the deformation amount of the outer shell 30, the user can control the output contents in a variety of ways, for example, by adjusting the attitude of the performance device 10. This allows the user to feel a higher level of interest.

[0078] Different types of parameters are controlled for each of the detection results of the deformation amount sensor 61, the detection results of the acceleration sensor 62, and the detection results of the angular velocity sensor 63. In this embodiment, the user can control the illuminance and volume by adjusting the deformation amount of the outer shell 30, can control the light emission pattern and melody pattern by displacing the performance device 10, and can control the color of light and rhythm pattern by adjusting the attitude of the performance device 10. In this way, various operations on the performance device 10 are associated with different types of parameters, so that the user can easily control the output content as intended. This makes it possible to further increase interest.

[0079] The output contents are changed over time based on the change over time of at least one of the detection results of the deformation amount sensor 61, the detection results of the acceleration sensor 62, and the detection results of the angular velocity sensor 63, so that it is possible to control the output contents in a more diverse manner, thereby making it possible to further increase the interest.

[0080] Since the light from the light-emitting unit 51 is controlled by the amount of deformation of the outer shell 30, the user can control the light from the light-emitting unit 51 by deforming the outer shell 30. In particular, by adjusting the amount of deformation of the outer shell 30, the user can control the light from the light-emitting unit 51 in a variety of ways, which is highly entertaining.

[0081] At least one of the color, illuminance, and lighting pattern of the light from the light-emitting unit 51 can be controlled by the amount of deformation of the outer shell 30, which can further increase interest.

[0082] Since the outer shell 30 covers the light-emitting unit 51, the size can be reduced compared to a case where the light-emitting unit 51 is provided outside the outer shell 30. Furthermore, since the outer shell 30 is translucent, the light of the light-emitting unit 51 can be emitted outside the outer shell 30, and the outer shell 30 itself can be impressed on the user as a light-emitting body. Since the user can control the light of the light-emitting body by deforming the outer shell 30, the interest can be further increased.

[0083] Since the light from the light-emitting unit 51 and the sound from the sound source 52 are controlled by the amount of deformation of the outer shell 30, the user can control the light from the light-emitting unit 51 and the sound from the sound source 52 by deforming the outer shell 30. In particular, the user can feel a high level of interest since the light and sound can be controlled in various ways by adjusting the amount of deformation of the outer shell 30.

[0084] At least one of the volume, tone, rhythm pattern, and melody pattern of the sound from the sound source 52 can be controlled by the amount of deformation of the outer shell 30, making it possible to further increase interest.

[0085] Since the sound source 52 is disposed in the lower part of the outer shell 30, the sound source 52 is prevented from blocking the light from the light emitting part 51, and the size can be reduced.

[0086] [others] Although the performance device according to the present disclosure has been described above based on the embodiments, the present disclosure is not limited to these embodiments. As long as it does not deviate from the gist of the present disclosure, various modifications conceived by a person skilled in the art to the embodiments and other forms constructed by combining components in different embodiments are also included in the scope of the present disclosure.

[0087] For example, in the above embodiment, the production device 10 having the light-emitting unit 51 and the sound source 52 is exemplified. However, the production device may have only one of the light-emitting unit and the sound source. A production device having a light-emitting unit can be rephrased as a lighting device. A production device having a sound source can be rephrased as a musical instrument. Even if the production device has only a sound source without a light-emitting unit, the sound from the sound source is controlled by the deformation amount of the outer shell, so the user can control the sound from the sound source by deforming the outer shell. In particular, the user can feel high interest because the sound from the sound source can be controlled in various ways by adjusting the deformation amount of the outer shell. In the case of a production device having only a sound source without a light-emitting unit, the outer shell does not need to be translucent.

[0088] In the above embodiment, the output unit 50 has a sound source 52 arranged inside the frame 40. However, the output unit may have a communication unit that communicates the output contents to an external sound device of the production device. FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a control configuration of the production device 10A according to the first modification. As shown in FIG. 4, the output unit 50a of the production device 10A has a communication unit 55a that can communicate freely with the external sound device 100. The communication unit 55a may be a wired communication module or a wireless communication module. In this way, the communication unit 55a communicates the output contents to the external sound device 100, so that the output contents of the external sound device 100 can be controlled. The production device may have a sound source and a communication unit.

[0089] In the above embodiment, the outer shell 30 is exemplified as having a spherical shape before deformation. However, the shape of the outer shell before deformation may be a hemisphere, a cylinder, a polygon, a truncated cone, or a truncated polygonal pyramid. FIG. 5 is a front view showing a production device 10B according to a second modification. In the production device 10B shown in FIG. 5, the shape of the outer shell 30b before deformation is a hemisphere. FIG. 6 is a front view showing a production device 10C according to a third modification. In the production device 10C shown in FIG. 6, the shape of the outer shell 30c before deformation is a cylinder. The outer shell does not have to be elastically deformable. Specifically, for example, if the outer shell is an accordion-shaped shell, it is possible for it to return to its original shape after deformation by an external force from a user.

[0090] In the above embodiment, an example has been given of the rendering device 10 having the deformation amount sensor 61, the acceleration sensor 62, and the angular velocity sensor 63. However, it is sufficient that the rendering device has at least the deformation amount sensor.

[0091] In the above embodiment, the deformation amount sensor 61 is an optical distance measuring sensor. However, any type of deformation amount sensor may be used as long as it can detect the amount of deformation of the outer shell. For example, the deformation amount sensor may be a pressure sensor that can detect the amount of deformation by detecting the internal pressure of the outer shell. Also, the deformation amount sensor may be a camera that can detect the amount of deformation by capturing an image of the outer shell. In this case, the camera may be disposed outside the outer shell. [Industrial Applicability]
