1. A display control device comprising:
a situation acquisition unit configured to acquire detection information about a situation where a see-through display worn on a user in front of the user's eye is being used; and
a display control unit configured to perform display control on the see-through display using the detection information acquired by the situation acquisition unit so that visibility of information displayed by the see-through display gradually increases,
wherein the situation acquisition unit and the display control unit are each implemented via at least one processor.
2. The display control device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the detection information comprises a state of ambient light, and
wherein the display control unit performs display control so that the visibility of the information displayed by the see-through display gradually increases according to the state of the ambient light.
3. The display control device according to claim 2 ,
wherein the display control unit performs display control so that a time it takes for the visibility of the information displayed by the see-through display to increase fully increases with an increase in an intensity of the ambient light.
4. The display control device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the detection information comprises a state of a line of sight of the user viewing the see-through display, and
wherein the display control unit performs display control so that the visibility of the information displayed by the see-through display gradually increases according to the state of the line of sight.
5. The display control device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the detection information comprises a state of a motion of a head of the user viewing the see-through display, and
wherein the display control unit performs display control so that the visibility of the information displayed by the see-through display gradually increases according to the state of the motion of the head.
6. The display control device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the detection information comprises a state of an inclination of a head of the user viewing the see-through display, and
wherein the display control unit performs display control so that the visibility of the information displayed by the see-through display gradually increases according to a degree of the inclination of the head.
7. The display control device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the detection information comprises a state of an activity of the user viewing the see-through display, and
wherein the display control unit performs display control so that the visibility of the information displayed by the see-through display gradually increases according to the state of the activity.
8. The display control device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the detection information comprises a background at which a line of sight of the user viewing the see-through display is aimed, and
wherein the display control unit performs display control so that the visibility of the information displayed by the see-through display gradually increases according to a state of the background.
9. The display control device according to claim 8 ,
wherein the display control unit performs display control so that the visibility of the information displayed by the see-through display gradually increases according to a color of the background.
10. The display control device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the display control unit performs display control to change a transparency of the information displayed by the see-through display so that the visibility of the information displayed by the see-through display gradually increases.
11. The display control device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the display control unit performs display control to change a luminance of the see-through display so that the visibility of the information displayed by the see-through display gradually increases.
12. A display control method comprising:
acquiring detection information about a situation where a see-through display is being used; and
performing display control on the see-through display using the acquired detection information so that a visibility of the information displayed by the see-through display gradually increases.
13. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having embodied thereon a program, which when executed by a computer causes the computer to execute a method, the method comprising:
acquiring detection information about a situation where a see-through display is being used; and
performing display control on the see-through display using the acquired detection information so that a visibility of the information displayed by the see-through display gradually increases.
