  • CONTROL DEVICE, HEAD-MOUNT DISPLAY DEVICE, PROGRAM, AND CONTROL METHOD FOR DETECTING HEAD MOTION OF A USER
    Publication number: 20180210204
    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.
