Abstract

A head mounted system includes an eye imaging device configured to image an eye of a wearer of the head mounted system, a periphery imaging device configured to image a periphery of the wearer, a display device configured to display, toward the wearer, a peripheral image of the periphery of the wearer imaged by the periphery imaging device, and a control device configured to adjust display of the peripheral image on the display device based on an eye image of the eye of the wearer imaged by the eye imaging device.

Claims (33)

1. A head mounted system comprising:

an eye imaging device configured to image an eye of a wearer of the head mounted system;

a periphery imaging device configured to image a periphery of the wearer;

a display device configured to display, toward the wearer, a peripheral image of the periphery of the wearer imaged by the periphery imaging device; and

a control device configured to adjust display of the peripheral image on the display device based on an eye image of the eye of the wearer imaged by the eye imaging device,

wherein the control device adjusts the display of the peripheral image on the display device by changing at least an imaging parameter of the periphery imaging device.

2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the control device adjusts the display of the peripheral image on the display device by further changing processing for the peripheral image, or a display parameter of the display device.

3. The system according to claim 1 , wherein

the head mounted system can operate in a plurality of modes including a determination mode in which the eye imaging device images the eye, and

a use mode in which the periphery imaging device images the periphery, and the display device displays the peripheral image.

4. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the control device adjusts display of the peripheral image, based on the eye image imaged during display of the peripheral image on the display device.

5. The system according to claim 1 , wherein

the control device

determines a characteristic of the eye based on the eye image, and

adjusts display of the peripheral image on the display device based on the characteristic of the eye.

6. The system according to claim 5 , wherein the characteristic of the eye includes at least one of squint, color blindness, night blindness, sight, and astigmatism.

7. The system according to claim 1 , wherein

the control device

determines based on the eye image whether the eye has a squint, and

adjusts a position of the peripheral image displayed on the display device in a case where the control device determines that the eye has a squint.

8. The system according to claim 1 , wherein

the control device

determines based on the eye image whether the eye has color blindness, and

allows the wearer to recognize a color of the peripheral image displayed on the display device in a case where the control device determines that the eye has color blindness.

9. The system according to claim 1 , wherein

the control device

determines based on the eye image whether the eye has night blindness, and

adjusts one of lightness and luminance of the peripheral image displayed on the display device in a case where the control device determines that the eye has night blindness.

10. The system according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the eye imaging device, the periphery imaging device, and the display device is detachable from the head mounted system.

11. The system according to claim 1 , wherein

the control device

transmits the eye image to an external server, and

adjusts display of the peripheral image on the display device based on a response from the external server.
