Therapy assistance system and therapy assistance program
A therapy assistance system includes: a display device 1 configured to be mounted on a head and configured to display an image; and a control device configured to reproduce the image on the display device. The control device includes: a content storage means configured to store image content to be reproduced on the display device; and a rendition process means configured to perform a rendition process on the image content to be reproduced, which is loaded from the content storage means, so as to display the image content on the display device as an image in a virtual reality space. The rendition process means includes an FOV control means configured to perform control so as to narrow a field of view (FOV) for an image to be reproduced.
1. A therapy assistance system employing an image displaying technology, the therapy assistance system being configured to show image content in a virtual reality space to a user so as to guide consciousness of the user to an image, thereby performing assistance in therapy, the therapy assistance system comprising:
a display device mounted on a head of a user and displays an image, the image being responsive to the display device mounted on the head of the user;
a sensor device for detecting movement information of the display device mounted on the head of the user; and
a controller that reproduces the image on the display device, wherein
the controller includes:
a content storage that stores image content to be reproduced on the display device, and
a rendition processor that performs a rendition process on the image content to be reproduced, which is loaded from the content storage, the rendition processor performing the rendition process so as to display the image content on the display device as an image in the virtual reality space,
wherein the therapy assistance system further comprises a manipulator through which an operation of the FOV controller is controlled by an operator based on a desired FOV in the display device mounted on the head of the user in guiding the consciousness of the user to the image so as to assist in therapy,
wherein the rendition processor includes an FOV controller that narrows a field of view (FOV) for an image to be reproduced based on the desired FOV detected from the manipulator controlled by the operator, and
wherein the user moves based on the desired FOV detected from the manipulator controlled by the operator, movement information of the user being detected by the sensor device.
2. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program having computer-executable instructions containing a therapy assistance program for causing a computer so as to control each section of the control device of the therapy assistance system according to claim 1 , the program having the computer-executable instructions causing the computer to control:
the content storage to store image content to be reproduced on the display device; and
the rendition processor to perform a rendition process on the image content to be reproduced, which is loaded from the content storage, the rendition processor performing the rendition process so as to display the image content on the display device, the rendition processor including the FOV controller that performs control so as to narrow the FOV for an image to be reproduced.
