Abstract

A projection apparatus includes a projection portion that performs irradiation with projection light, and a moving mechanism that moves a projection range of the projection light. In a state where the projection range is maintained, the projection apparatus displays an image showing a movement destination of the projection range in response to a first operation by the projection portion. The projection apparatus moves the projection range to the movement destination by the moving mechanism.

Claims (34)

1. A projection apparatus comprising:

a projection portion that performs irradiation with projection light;

a moving mechanism that moves a projection range of the projection light; and

a processor,

wherein the processor is configured to,

in response to a first operation, display an image showing a movement destination of the projection range by the projection portion in a state where the projection range is maintained,

execute a control of moving the projection range to the movement destination by the moving mechanism,

execute a control of moving the projection range by controlling the moving mechanism based on correspondence information between a displacement amount in the first operation and a displacement amount of the moving mechanism, and

wherein in a case where the displacement amount in the first operation and the displacement amount of the moving mechanism are different, the processor is configured to execute a control of moving of the projection range by the moving mechanism and changing of a display region of the image within the projection range in combination in response to a second operation.

2. The projection apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to,

display an image showing the projection range by the projection portion in a state where the projection range is maintained, and

execute a control of moving the projection range by the moving mechanism in accordance with the image.

3. The projection apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to execute a control of moving the projection range to the movement destination in response to a second operation.

4. The projection apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to execute a control of performing notification in a case where the movement destination of the projection range corresponding to the first operation exceeds a range within which the projection range is movable.

5. A projection method by a projection apparatus including a projection portion that performs irradiation with projection light, and a moving mechanism that moves a projection range of the projection light, the projection method comprising:

displaying, in response to a first operation, an image showing a movement destination of the projection range by the projection portion in a state where the projection range is maintained; and

moving the projection range to the movement destination by the moving mechanism,

wherein the projection range is moved by controlling the moving mechanism based on correspondence information between a displacement amount in the first operation and a displacement amount of the moving mechanism, and

wherein in a case where the displacement amount in the first operation and the displacement amount of the moving mechanism are different, moving of the projection range by the moving mechanism and changing of a display region of the image within the projection range are performed in combination in response to a second operation.

6. The projection method according to claim 5 ,

wherein an image showing the projection range is displayed by the projection portion in a state where the projection range is maintained, and

the projection range is moved in accordance with the image by the moving mechanism.

7. The projection method according to claim 5 ,

wherein the projection range is moved to the movement destination in response to a second operation.

8. The projection method according to claim 5 ,

wherein notification is performed in a case where the movement destination of the projection range corresponding to the first operation exceeds a range within which the projection range is movable.

9. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a control program of a projection apparatus including a projection portion that performs irradiation with projection light, and a moving mechanism that moves a projection range of the projection light, the control program causing a computer to execute a process comprising:

displaying, in response to a first operation, an image showing a movement destination of the projection range by the projection portion in a state where the projection range is maintained; and

executing a control of moving the projection range to the movement destination by the moving mechanism,

wherein the projection range is moved by controlling the moving mechanism based on correspondence information between a displacement amount in the first operation and a displacement amount of the moving mechanism, and

wherein in a case where the displacement amount in the first operation and the displacement amount of the moving mechanism are different, moving of the projection range by the moving mechanism and changing of a display region of the image within the projection range are performed in combination in response to a second operation.
