Head-Mounted Display Mode Switching for Image Size and Position Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing head-mounted display devices lack user convenience in switching between virtual images and outside scenes, with limited control over image size and position, and often fail to reflect the user's intention accurately.
Innovation Solution
A head-mounted display device with an operation unit, control unit, and image display unit that allows users to select and visualize multiple images within a generable region, with modes for image size adjustment and position selection, including a position detecting unit for geographical region awareness and signal transmission for relevant video information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the user selects an image in the first mode, then the user can visually recognize multiple selectable images in positions other than the center, but the user cannot visually recognize the image in a larger size
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically switches between two operation modes based on user input. In the first mode, multiple selectable images are displayed in positions other than the center. When the user selects an image, the system transitions to the second mode where the selected image is displayed in a larger size at the center position, allowing the user to view the image in detail without requiring complex manual adjustments.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the head-mounted display device switches between virtual images and outside scenes, then the user can visually recognize both, but the control method lacks accuracy in reflecting user intention
Solution Approach 1:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where the user's selection of an image from the plurality of selectable images serves as explicit feedback about their intention. When the user selects an image in the first mode, the system responds by switching to the second mode and displaying the selected image in a larger size, accurately reflecting and responding to the user's intention through this feedback loop.
3Manufacturing precision
If the image is displayed in a larger size, then the user can visually recognize the image in detail, but the image cannot be selected from multiple selectable images simultaneously
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the display configuration based on the user's selection state. In the first mode, multiple images are displayed in smaller sizes at positions other than the center, allowing the user to browse and select. Upon selection, the system transitions to the second mode where the selected image is displayed in a larger size at the center, providing detailed viewing capability while maintaining the ability to have previously selected from multiple options.

AI summary
A head-mounted display device of a transmission type includes an operation unit, a control unit configured to transmit image data, and an image display unit configured to cause a user to visually recognize a generated image generated on the basis of the transmitted image data from the control unit. The control unit has, as an operation mode of the image display unit, a first mode for causing the user to visually recognize a plurality of selectable images in positions other than the center in an image generable region, which is a region where the image display unit can generate the generated image, and a second mode for causing, when a singularity of the selectable image is selected out of the plurality of selectable images, the user to visually recognize an associated image associated with the one selectable image as an image larger than the one selectable image in the first mode.
