Abstract

According to one embodiment, a system includes a wearable device configured to be attached to a display configured to display a display image. The wearable device features an optical component set featuring a lens, a first user operable member configured to set an adjustment value relating to a projection angle of the visual image, and a second user operable member configured to set an adjustment value relating to at least one of a color tone or a brightness of the visual image. A position of the visual image is changed by adjusting the projection angle of the visual image using the first user operable member so that the visual image is displayed at a position based on at least one of a shape or a size of the head of the user. The color tone or the brightness of the visual image is changed using the second user operable member.

Claims (19)

1. A wearable device configured to be attached to a display configured to display a display image, the wearable device comprising:

an optical component set comprising a lens configured to form a visual image at a position which is a distance away from the user, the visual image being formed from the display image;

a first user operable member configured to set an adjustment value relating to a projection angle of the visual image; and

a second user operable member configured to set an adjustment value relating to at least one of a color tone or a brightness of the visual image, wherein

a position of the visual image is changed by adjusting the projection angle of the visual image using the first user operable member so that the visual image is displayed at a position based on at least one of a shape or a size of the head of the user, and

at least one of the color tone or the brightness of the visual image is changed using the second user operable member.

2. A system comprising:

a server; and

a wearable device communicatively coupled to the server to receive a display image from the server, the wearable device configured to be attached to a display configured to display the display image from the server, wherein the wearable device comprises:

an optical component set comprising a lens configured to form a visual image at a position which is a distance away from the user, the visual image being formed from the display image;

a first user operable member configured to set an adjustment value relating to a projection angle of the visual image; and

a second user operable member configured to set an adjustment value relating to at least one of a color tone or a brightness of the visual image, wherein

a position of the visual image is changed by adjusting the projection angle of the visual image using the first user operable member so that the visual image is displayed at a position according to at least one of a shape or a size of the head, and

at least one of the color tone or the brightness of the visual image is changed using the second user operable member.

3. An image display method for a wearable device configured to be attached to a display configured to display a display image, the wearable device comprising an optical component set comprising a lens configured to form a visual image from the display image, a first user operable member configured to set an adjustment value relating to a projection angle of the visual image, and a second user operable member configured to set an adjustment value relating to at least one of a color tone or a brightness of the visual image, the image display method comprising:

displaying the display image by the display;

forming the visual image at a position which is a distance away from the user;

changing a position of the visual image by adjusting the projection angle of the visual image using the first user operable member so that the visual image is displayed at a position according to at least one of a shape or a size of the head; and

changing at least one of the color tone or the brightness of the visual image using the second user operable member.
