Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to detect a viewable region of a display surface on a user, the viewable region being viewable from the user, and display predetermined information in an area including the center of the viewable region.

Claims (46)

1 . An information processing apparatus comprising:

a processor configured to:

detect a viewable region of a display surface on a user, the viewable region being viewable from the user; and

display predetermined information in an area including the center of the viewable region.

2 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the display surface is a display of a wearable device worn by the user.

3 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the information processing apparatus is the wearable device.

4 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the display surface is a portion of the user on which an image is projected by a projector.

5 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 ,

wherein the projector is a projector of the information processing apparatus, and

wherein the information processing apparatus is wearable.

6 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to detect the viewable region from a relationship among a position of the display surface, a position of an imaging device, and an orientation of the user's face that is determined from an image captured by the imaging device.

7 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 ,

wherein the processor is configured to detect a direction of the user's line of sight as the orientation of the user's face.

8 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the processor is configured to:

determine a contacting portion of a back of the display, the contacting portion being a portion that is in contact with the user in a state where the user is wearing the display, and

detect the viewable region based on the contacting portion.

9 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 8 ,

wherein the processor is configured to set the center of the viewable region to a position that corresponds to the contacting portion.

10 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 8 ,

wherein the processor is configured to detect the viewable region from a relationship among the contacting portion, a position of an imaging device, and an orientation of the user's face determined from an image captured by the imaging device.

11 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the display surface has a curve to fit the user.

12 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 11 ,

wherein the display is a deformable display.

13 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 11 ,

wherein the display is attached to a cylindrical member.

14 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the predetermined information is information relating to time.

15 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the predetermined information is information relating to communication.

16 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein a position at which the predetermined information is displayed is changeable by a user operation.

17 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein a position at which information that is positioned outside the viewable region, in which the predetermined information is displayed, is displayed is changeable by a user operation.

18 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to change a display size of the predetermined information in accordance with a size of the region viewable from the user.

19 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to change a number of items of the predetermined information that are displayed in accordance with a size of the viewable region viewable from the user.

20 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:

detecting a viewable region of a display surface on a user, the viewable region being viewable from the user; and

displaying predetermined information in an area including the center of the viewable region.
