Virtual image display device
A virtual image display device includes a virtual image position selector, a vision measurement interface, a display information acquirer, a display image generator, and a projection processor. The virtual image position selector selects either a first virtual image position or a second virtual image position as a display position of the virtual image. The vision measurement interface measures a vision of a user based on a user's response to a vision measurement image projected as a virtual image at the display position. The display information acquirer acquires information to be shown. The display image generator generates a display image showing an image corresponding to the information acquired by the display information acquirer in a size determined by the vision acquired by the vision measurement interface. The projection processor performs a projection process of projecting the display image generated by the display image generator as a virtual image.
1. A virtual image display device comprising:
a virtual image position selector that selects either a first virtual image position or a second virtual image position as a display position of a virtual image,
the second virtual image position having a different distance in a depth direction from a viewpoint of a user at which the virtual image is displayed from the first virtual image position, and
the first virtual image position and the second virtual image position are along a common axis from the viewpoint of the user;
a vision measurement interface that measures a vision of the user based on the user's response to a vision measurement image projected as a virtual image at the display position selected by the virtual image position selector;
a display information acquirer that acquires information to be shown;
a display image generator that generates a display image showing an image corresponding to the information acquired by the display information acquirer in a size determined by the vision acquired by the vision measurement interface;
a projection processor that performs a projection process of projecting the display image generated by the display image generator as the virtual image at the display position selected by the virtual image position selector; and
when the vision of the user measured at one of the first virtual image position and the second virtual image position is equal to or lower than a predetermined threshold, the virtual image position selector selects an other display position, and
the vision measurement interface measures the vision of the user based on the user's response to the vision measurement image projected as the virtual image at the other display position.
2. The virtual image display device according to claim 1 , wherein
a size of the vision measurement image displayed at the first virtual image position or the second virtual image position differs depending on a distance from a viewpoint position of the user.
3. The virtual image display device according to claim 1 , wherein
a larger a distance from the viewpoint position of the user, a larger a dimension of the vision measurement image.
4. The virtual image display device according to claim 1 , wherein
the display image generator changes a volume of information included in the display image in accordance with the vision measured by the vision measurement interface.
5. The virtual image display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a priority level setting interface that sets a priority level of the information acquired by the display information acquirer, wherein
the display image generator changes a volume of information included in the display image in accordance with the priority level set.
