Image provision device, method and program that adjusts eye settings based on user orientation
An image provision device ( 100 ) displays on a field-of-vision covering display ( 192 ) an image obtained by trimming all-surroundings image data ( 21 ). A detector ( 11 ) detects an orientation or a change in the orientation of a user's head or sight line by means of a sensor ( 191 ). A direction setter ( 12 ) sets an eye direction to the all-surroundings image data ( 21 ) in accordance with the detected orientation or change in the orientation. An extractor ( 13 ) obtains a zoomed image by trimming and zooming part of the all-surroundings image with a zoom factor that depends on an angle formed between the set eye direction and a predetermined direction in the all-surroundings image data ( 21 ). A displayer ( 14 ) displays the obtained zoomed image on a display ( 192 ).
1. An image provision device for displaying an image obtained from an all-surroundings image on a field-of-vision covering display, comprising:
at least one memory configured to store computer program code;
at least one processor configured to operate according to said computer program code, said computer program code including:
detecting code configured to cause at least of the at least one processor to detect an orientation or a change in the orientation of a user;
setting code configured to cause at least of the at least one processor to set an eye direction to the all-surroundings image, based on the detected orientation or change in the orientation;
obtaining code configured to cause at least of the at least one processor to obtain a zoomed image by trimming part of the all-surroundings image with a zoom factor that depends on an angle formed between the set eye direction and a predetermined direction in the all-surroundings image and zooming the part of the all-surroundings image in accordance with a size or resolution of the display; and
displaying code configured to cause at least of the at least one processor to display the obtained zoomed image on the display.
2. The image provision device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the image provision device trims and zooms part of the all-surroundings image with the zoom factor that is higher as the angle formed between the set eye direction and the predetermined direction in the all-surroundings image is smaller.
3. The image provision device according to claim 1 ,
wherein an amount of focus adjustment corresponding to an eye direction is recorded in the all-surroundings image, and
wherein the image provision device trims and zooms part of the all-surroundings image with a zoom factor that depends on the angle and on the amount of focus adjustment corresponding to the set eye direction.
4. The image provision device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the image provision device trims and zooms part of the all-surroundings image with the zoom factor that depends on the angle and on a numerical value representing a body height of the user wearing the display.
5. The image provision device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the image provision device
detects a height of the display; and
trims and zooms part of the all-surroundings image with a zoom factor that depends on the angle and on the detected height.
6. An image provision method comprising:
displaying an image obtained from an all-surroundings image on a field-of-vision covering display,
detecting, by an image provision device, an orientation or a change in the orientation of a user,
setting, by said image provision device, an eye direction to the all-surroundings image, based on the detected orientation or change in the orientation,
obtaining, by said image provision device, a zoomed image by trimming part of the all-surroundings image with a zoom factor that depends on an angle formed between the set eye direction and a predetermined direction in the all-surroundings image and zooming the part of the all-surroundings image in accordance with a size or resolution of the display, and
displaying, by said image provision device, the obtained zoomed image on the display.
7. A non-transitory computer-readable information recording medium recording a program executed by a computer that displays an image obtained from an all-surroundings image on a field-of-vision covering display, the program causing the computer to:
detect an orientation or a change in the orientation of a user;
set an eye direction to the all-surroundings image, based on the detected orientation or change in the orientation;
obtain a zoomed image by trimming part of the all-surroundings image with a zoom factor that depends on an angle formed between the set eye direction and a predetermined direction in the all-surroundings image and zooming the part of the all-surroundings image in accordance with a size or resolution of the display; and
display the obtained zoomed image on the display.
