Abstract: It is possible to provide a technique for accurately performing an operation desired by a user. A user's head operation is identified according to information detected by a head motion detection unit. A process desired by the user is executed according to an angular velocity of the head motion. Moreover, the technique uses a control unit which can accurately execute an operation by the user's head operation without reflecting the return motion of the user's head in the process. The control unit executes a process for a start and an end of each process corresponding to the detected angular velocity according to a predetermined threshold value.

Abstract: The present application is intended to prevent an excessive pressure from acting on a battery due to an expansion of the battery. A battery accommodating device having a battery chamber, which is formed in a housing and in which a battery is accommodated, the battery chamber being covered with a cover member, and has a lock part which fixes the housing and the cover member and a lock release part which unlocks the lock part when the battery has expanded. An output device includes a lock member which, while the cover member is being mounted to the housing, engages with a part of the cover member to prevent separation of the cover member and a displacement transmitting member, which transmits an expansive displacement of a battery to the lock member and releases the engagement of the lock member with a part of the cover member.

Abstract: An image capturing apparatus that notifies a user of completion of preparation when the image capturing preparation including strobe charging and so on is finished has been known. However, a user of such apparatus has to take an image while checking whether a specific object is within a desired region. Thus, an image capturing apparatus includes an image capturing section that captures an image of an object and generates a captured image, an object recognition section that recognizes a specific object in the captured image generated by the image capturing section, and a tactile notification section that notifies a user in a tactile manner concerning whether the specific objet is in a predetermined region of the captured image or not based on recognition by the object recognition section.

Abstract: A proposition is to provide a wearable display suitable for enjoying contents including images by plural users simultaneously. To realize the proposition, the wearable display provides an external output unit outputting a signal having the same contents as a signal input to a device to an external device, at an exterior part of an apparatus body including the device making information of contents including images into a state capable of being sensed by a user, and mounting fixtures mounting the device on a head portion of the user.

Abstract: A headphone includes a pad which is brought into contact with a human head, an enclosure which outputs an audio, and a dome as means for adjusting quality of the audio output by resonating or absorbing the sound wave emitted from the enclosure. The dome has no parts other than those used for absorbing and reflecting audio and is almost hollow. In the dome is arranged a circuit substrate by using a circuit support part having a shape not blocking the air flowing in the dome. Such a circuit substrate is also built in the other headphone. The circuit substrates arranged in the dome of the headphone are connected by a cable arranged inside a head band or an FPC for transmission of a signal and power supply. Thus, it is possible to provide an output device which can solve the problem of the dimensions for containing operation processing devices and the problem of heat dissipation.

Abstract: A picture display apparatus includes a screen including a light guide plate which propagates a light of a specific wavelength inside and has a diffuser structure 24 for diffusing a visible light on one surface, a projection unit for projecting an image on the screen by the visible light, a photographing unit for photographing the light of a specific wavelength, and a position specification unit which, when the light of a specific wavelength propagated inside the light guide plate is reflected by an object contacting the light guide plate, specifies a position at which the object contacts the light guide plate after the photographing unit photographs the reflected light.

Abstract: A cross key is mounted on a headphone. When a support arm and a connection section are pivoted 180 degrees from the (a)-state to change the position of wearing the headphone between left and right, a head-mounted display is set for use by the right eye, and this turns the cross key upside down. Correspondingly, a function allocated to the upper key is allocated to the lower key and a function allocated to the lower key is allocated to the upper key to obtain the (b)-state. In the (b)-state, the functions are changed such that the function allocated to the upper key is allocated to the upper key and the function allocated to the lower key is allocated to the lower key. A cross key does not require any change in key functions and left as is.

Abstract: A head band unit contains a bending sensor which detects bending of the head band unit. As shown in the figure, the bending degree of the head band unit when mounted on a user head is smaller than the bending degree of the head band unit when not mounted. Accordingly, the bending degree of the bending sensor is also smaller when mounted. Consequently, by using the output of the bending sensor, it is possible to judge whether the headphone is mounted on the user head. When the headphone is mounted on the user head, power supply to a secondary battery is stopped. Thus, it is possible to provide an output device which can safely charge the secondary battery and can continue operation by an external power source even if the electric capacity of the secondary battery has become zero.
