Abstract

Disclosed herein is A head mounted display including: (A) an eyeglasses frame-like frame to be mounted to an observer's head; (B) an image display device; (C) an image sensing device mounted to the frame; and (D) a correction section, wherein the image display device includes (B-1) an image generating device, and (B-2) see-through type light guide section which is mounted to the image generating device, on which beams emitted from the image generating device are incident, through which the beams are guided, and from which the beams are emitted toward an observer's pupil.

Claims (41)

1. A head mounted display comprising;

at least one processor configured to:

receive image data obtained by an image sensing device sensing a reference object,

control a display to display a reference image having a color that is a different color from a color the reference object based on the image data,

correct the image data according to a first distance between the image sensing device and the reference object and a second distance between the imaging sensing device and an object other than the reference object, and

control the display to display the corrected image data,

wherein the at least one processor is configured to control the display to display guidance information to assist an observer with correcting the image data,

wherein the guidance information includes text that instructs the observer to perform one or more actions, and

wherein the one or more actions are for the observer to actuate one or more control elements of a control panel.

2. The head mounted display of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

receive other data that indicates whether or not the reference object and the reference image are in registration with each other, and

correct the image data based on the other data.

3. The head mounted display of claim 1 , wherein the one or more control elements adjust settings that include scaling, rotation, and translation of the reference image.

4. The head mounted display of claim 3 , wherein the text instructs the observer to adjust the rotation, the translation, and the scaling of the reference image in that order.

5. The head mounted display of claim 4 , wherein the text instructs the observer to store the adjusted settings in a memory.

6. A display device comprising;

a frame;

an image display device;

an image sensing device; and

at least one processor configured to:

receive image data obtained by the image sensing device sensing a reference object,

control the image display device to display a reference image having a color that is a different color from a color the reference object based on the image data,

correct the image data according to a first distance between the image sensing device and the reference object and a second distance between the image sensing device and an object other than the reference object, and

control the image display device to display the corrected image data,

wherein the at least one processor is configured to control the image display device to display guidance information to assist an observer with correcting the image data,

wherein the guidance information includes text that instructs the observer to perform one or more actions, and

wherein the one or more actions are for the observer to actuate one or more control elements of a control panel.

7. The display device of claim 6 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

receive other data that indicates whether or not the reference object and the reference image are in registration with each other, and

correct the image data based on the other data.

8. The display device of claim 6 , wherein the one or more control elements adjust settings that include scaling, rotation, and translation of the reference image.

9. The display device of claim 8 , wherein the text instructs the observer to adjust the rotation, the translation, and the scaling of the reference image in that order.

10. The display device of claim 9 , wherein the text instructs the observer to store the adjusted settings in a memory.

11. A method, comprising:

receiving image data obtained by an image sensing device sensing a reference object;

controlling a display to display a reference image having a color that is a different color from a color the reference object based on the image data;

correcting the image data according to a first distance between the image sensing device and the reference object and a second distance between the imaging sensing device and an object other than the reference object;

controlling the display to display the corrected image data; and

controlling the display to display guidance information to assist an observer with correcting the image data,

wherein the guidance information includes text that instructs the observer to perform one or more actions, and

wherein the one or more actions are for the observer to actuate one or more control elements of a control panel.
