Application: Head mounted display, control method of head mounted display, and non-transitory computer readable medium (Patent ID: US20240212296A1)
The patent filed by Canon Inc. describes a head-mounted display system that includes an image sensor capturing real space, a display showing the captured image, and a control unit reducing the saliency of specific real objects based on user information. The user information can include vital signs like facial expression, heart rate, and blood pressure, as well as the duration of the user's gaze on an object. The control unit can adjust the display by superimposing graphics, erasing real objects, blurring them, or applying a mosaic effect.
The system can differentiate the type of image processing based on user information, such as superimposing virtual objects or warning dialogs, changing textures, or outlining real objects. Additionally, the patent includes a method for controlling the head-mounted display based on user information and a computer-readable medium storing a program to execute this control method. Overall, the patent focuses on enhancing user experience by adjusting the display of real objects in the user's line of sight based on their vital signs and gaze duration.
