Abstract: A display device includes a display in which an image is displayed; an output controller configured to display an image in the display; an imager configured to capture an image of an object present within a field of view of a user; a visually recognized object identifying unit configured to identify, based on the captured image, a type of the object present within the field of view of the user; and a visual recognition count identifying unit configured to, based on an identification result by the visually recognized object identifying unit, identify a visual recognition count indicating a number of times by which the user has looked at the object for each of the identified type, wherein the output controller is further configured to display in the display, based on the visual recognition count, a sub image including information on the object for each of the identified type.

Abstract: A display device includes: a biological sensor configured to detect biological information of a user; an output-specification determining unit configured to determine a display specification of a sub-image to be displayed on a display unit based on the biological information of the user; an output control unit configured to cause the display unit to display the sub-image in a superimposed manner on a main image that is visually recognized through the display unit and based on the display specification; and an environment sensor configured to detect environment information of a periphery of the display device. The environment information includes location information of the user, and the biological information includes brain wave information of the user. The output-specification determining unit is configured to determine display time of the sub-image per unit time as the display specification based on the location information and the brain wave information.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a behavior state detection sensor configured to detect behavior state information on a behavior state of a user; a behavior pattern information generation unit configured to generate behavior pattern information in a multidimensional space formed of coordinate axes based on the behavior state information to generate a group of spaces in each of which density of a behavior pattern information group as a collection of pieces of the behavior pattern information exceeds predetermined density; a behavior score calculation unit configured to calculate, as a behavior score, information on a size of the space including the behavior pattern information group; and a behavior pattern identification unit configured to identify, as a behavior pattern of the user, the behavior pattern information group in the space for which a value of the behavior score is equal to or larger than a predetermined value.

Abstract: A communication device includes: a vibration transmitting unit configured to transmit an input vibration wave to a first portion of a subject; a vibration receiving unit configured to receive, at a second portion of the subject, an output vibration wave generated based on the input vibration wave propagated through at least a part of the subject; and a speech recognition device configured to recognize a phoneme which is uttered by the subject based on a difference wave between the input vibration wave and the output vibration wave, wherein the first portion and the second portion are arranged on right and left of the subject.

Abstract: An information providing device includes a display unit configured to output a visual stimulus; a sound output unit configured to output an auditory stimulus; a sensory stimulus output unit configured to output a sensory stimulus; an environment sensor configured to detect position information of the information providing device; a biological sensor configured to detect cerebral activation degree of a user; an output selecting unit configured to select, based on the environment information, one of the display unit, the sound output unit, and the sensory stimulus output unit; an output specification deciding unit configured to decide on a reference output specification for adjusting outputs of the display unit, the sound output unit, and the sensory stimulus output unit, based on the position information; and a user state identifying unit configured to calculate an output specification correction degree for correcting the reference output specification, based on the cerebral activation degree.

Abstract: A color separating/light guiding optics comprises two independent dichroic mirrors, reflection mirrors and correcting lenses. A horizontal plane region occupied by these optical components is entirely involved in a horizontal plane region occupied by a light modulating/color compositing/image projecting optics. A red beam is guided along a detoured optical path extending across a dead space below a projection lens. Although the optical path length of the red beam becomes longer than those of the blue beam and the green beam, the detoured optical path provides a sufficient space for installing the correcting lenses. The substantial optical path lengths of three primary color beams can be equalized with each other by the provision of these correcting lenses.
