  • Publication number: 20180366089
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to appropriately display secondary information on a head-mounted display in relation to primary information displayed on a main display device even when a wearer moves or takes their eyes off the main display device. In order to achieve the above purpose, this collaborative head-mounted display system calculates the positional information of the head-mounted display wearer's gaze with respect to the primary information from a camera image acquired from the head-mounted display and the position of the head-mounted display wearer's gaze with respect to the camera image. The collaborative head-mounted display system then selects and displays the secondary information associated with the calculated positional information, and changes how the secondary information is displayed depending on whether or not the wearer is looking at the primary information.

  • Publication number: 20170072273
    Abstract: A golf club set having a stable swing feel for the player is obtained regardless of the club number. Moments of inertia of the grips of respective the golf clubs are substantially uniform regardless of the respective golf club numbers. Moments of inertia of the heads of respective the golf clubs decrease as the respective golf club numbers increase. Moments of inertia of the shafts of respective golf clubs increase as the numbers of respective golf clubs increase. Moments of inertia of the golf clubs are made substantially the same by cancelling out the decrease in moments of inertia of the heads and the increase in moments of inertia of the shafts. The shafts of the golf clubs increase in weight, and respective gravity center locations of the shafts are located closer to the tip ends of the shafts, as the numbers of the golf clubs increase.

  • Patent number: 8852021
    Abstract: A golf club shaft in which the isotropy of the prepregs configuring a torsion rigidity holding layer is high and in which sufficient torsional rigidity can be secured with fewer plies of fewer prepregs. The golf club shaft includes a torsional rigidity holding layer made of a thermosetting resin which contains reinforced fibers extending obliquely to a longitudinal direction of the shaft. The torsional rigidity holding layer includes a multilayer set prepreg, in which at least two layers of prepregs made of reinforced fibers are impregnated with a thermosetting resin. A plurality of prepregs in the multilayer set prepreg include reinforced fibers extending in mutually different directions. The multilayer set prepreg is continuously wound by at least two turns with the plurality of prepregs layered on each other. A golf club uses the shaft.
