Head mounted display and setting method
In a head mounted display 100 , a memory 71 stores an application. An image pickup unit 74 takes an image of a site of a user 1 , and a position specifying unit 73 specifies a position and a direction of the head mounted display 100 . A detector 75 detects a position indicated by the user 1 on the basis of the image taken by the image pickup unit 74 , and a setting unit 76 sets a position indicating a home position on the basis of a result detected by the detector 75 and the position and the direction specified by the position specifying unit 73.
1. A head mounted display capable of visually recognizing an application arranged at an arbitrary position in a virtual space, the head mounted display comprising:
an image pickup unit configured to take an image of a site of a user who wears the head mounted display in a real space;
a detector configured to detect a position in the real space indicated by the user on a basis of the image taken by the image pickup unit;
a position specifying unit configured to specify a position and a direction of the head mounted display in the real space; and
a setting unit configured to set an operation area at a predetermined positon in the virtual space corresponding to a position in the real space determined on a basis of a result detected by the detector and the position and the direction specified by the position specifying unit, the operation area being an area where the user operates the application,
wherein the operation area is set as an area of a destination of the application when a request for editing the application arranged at the arbitrary position in the virtual space is indicated by the user.
2. The head mounted display according to claim 1 ,
wherein the image pickup unit is configured to take an image of a finger of the user, and
wherein the detector is configured to detect a position indicated by gesture of the finger of the user on the basis of the image taken by the image pickup unit.
3. The head mounted display according to claim 1 ,
wherein the image pickup unit is configured to take an image around an eye of the user, and
wherein the detector is configured to detect a position indicated by a line of sight of the user on a basis of the image taken by the image pickup unit.
4. The head mounted display according to claim 1 ,
wherein, in a case where a display device is located in a range of the position in the real space determined on the basis of the result detected by the detector and the position and the direction specified by the position specifying unit, the setting unit is configured to set a display of the display device as the operation area.
5. The head mounted display according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a setting modifier configured to reset, in a case where the operation area is set by the setting unit and a display device is located in a range of the position in the real space determined on the basis of the result detected by the detector and the position and the direction specified by the position specifying unit, display of the display device as a new operation area.
6. The head mounted display according to claim 1 , further comprising:
an application controller configured to select an application arranged at an arbitrary position in the virtual space in response to a predetermined input operation by the user, and display the selected application after an arrangement position of the selected application is changed into the operation area.
7. The head mounted display according to claim 6 ,
wherein the application controller is further configured to select an application arranged in the operation area in response to a predetermined input operation by the user against the application, and display the selected application after an arrangement position of the selected application is returned to an arbitrary position in the virtual space where the application was originally arranged.
8. A setting method executed by a head mounted display, the head mounted display capable of visually recognizing an application arranged at an arbitrary position in a virtual space, the setting method comprising:
an image pickup step of taking an image of a site of a user, the user wearing the head mounted display in the real space;
a detection step of detecting a position in the real space indicated by the user, who wears the head mounted display, on a basis of the image taken in the image pickup step;
a position specification step of specifying a position and a direction of the head mounted display in the real space; and
a set step of setting an operation area at a predetermined position in the virtual space corresponding to a position in the real space determined on a basis of a result detected in the detection step and the position and the direction specified in the position specification step, the operation area being an area where the user operates the application,
wherein the operation area set in the set step is set as an area of a destination of the application when a request for editing the application arranged at the arbitrary position in the virtual space is indicated by the user.
