Abstract

The display method includes obtaining a target image showing a target region including a surface, displaying a simulation image on a display, the simulation image being obtained by superimposing a display image on the target image, the display image corresponding to an image to be projected by a projector on the surface, displaying the target image included in the simulation image on the display with a brightness based on first information which specifies a brightness of the target region, and displaying the display image included in the simulation image on the display with a brightness based on second information which specifies a brightness of the display image.

Claims (53)

1. A display method comprising:

obtaining a target image showing a target region including a surface and not including a projection image projected by a projector;

displaying a simulation image on a display panel included in a portable electronic device, the simulation image being obtained by superimposing a display image on the target image, the display image being a virtual image corresponding to the display image to be projected by the projector on the surface;

displaying the target image included in the simulation image on the display panel with a brightness based on first information which specifies a brightness of the target region; and

displaying the display image included in the simulation image on the display panel with a brightness based on second information which specifies a brightness of the display image.

2. The display method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving the first information; and

determining the second information based on the first information.

3. The display method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving the second information; and

determining the first information based on the second information.

4. The display method according to claim 1 , wherein

the simulation image includes a projector image showing the projector.

5. The display method according to claim 4 , further comprising:

displaying the projector image on the display panel with the brightness based on the first information.

6. The display method according to claim 1 , wherein

the simulation image includes a path image showing a path of light used by the projector for projecting the image.

7. The display method according to claim 6 , further comprising:

displaying the path image on the display panel with the brightness based on the second information.

8. The display method according to claim 7 , further comprising:

changing a brightness of the path image to a brightness different from the brightness based on the second information when receiving a change instruction of changing the brightness of the path image.

9. The display method according to claim 7 , further comprising:

making a brightness of the path image darker than the brightness based on the second information when receiving a change instruction of changing the brightness of the path image.

10. A display system comprising:

a camera;

a display panel included in a portable electronic device; and

at least one processor programmed to execute

obtaining a target image showing a target region including a surface using the camera and not including a projection image projected by a projector;

displaying, by controlling the display panel, a simulation image, the simulation image being obtained by superimposing a display image on the target image, the display image being a virtual image corresponding to the display image to be projected by the projector on the surface,

displaying, by controlling the display panel, the target image included in the simulation image with a brightness based on first information which specifies a brightness of the target region, and

displaying, by controlling the display panel, the display image included in the simulation image with a brightness based on second information which specifies a brightness of the display image.

11. A display method comprising:

obtaining a target image showing a target region including a surface;

displaying a simulation image on a display, the simulation image being obtained by superimposing a display image on the target image, the display image corresponding to an image to be projected by a projector on the surface;

displaying the target image included in the simulation image on the display with a brightness based on first information which specifies a brightness of the target region; and

displaying the display image included in the simulation image on the display with a brightness based on second information which specifies a brightness of the display image,

wherein the simulation image includes a path image showing a path of light used by the projector for projecting the image.

12. The display method according to claim 11 , further comprising:

receiving the first information; and

determining the second information based on the first information.

13. The display method according to claim 11 , further comprising:

receiving the second information; and

determining the first information based on the second information.

14. The display method according to claim 11 , wherein

the simulation image includes a projector image showing the projector.

15. The display method according to claim 14 , further comprising:

displaying the projector image on the display with the brightness based on the first information.

16. The display method according to claim 11 , further comprising:

displaying the path image on the display with the brightness based on the second information.

17. The display method according to claim 16 , further comprising:

changing a brightness of the path image to a brightness different from the brightness based on the second information when receiving a change instruction of changing the brightness of the path image.

18. The display method according to claim 16 , further comprising:

making a brightness of the path image darker than the brightness based on the second information when receiving a change instruction of changing the brightness of the path image.
