Publication number: 20100188314Abstract: Inclination of an image display unit is prevented at the time of using a wearable display unit in which the image display unit can move between a projection position where the image display unit comes in front of a user's eye and a retracted position where the image display unit has been retracted from the front of the user's eye. A display support member 27 is prevented from rotating in relation to a display support member housing part 31 in a direction included in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the display support member 27, even in a state that the display support member can move. To that end, grooves 28a, 28b extending in the longitudinal direction are formed in the display support member 27, while guide rollers 34a, 34a in contact with these grooves are provided within the display support member housing part 31.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 2, 2010Publication date: July 29, 2010Inventors: Nobuyuki Miyake, Shigeru Kato, Masaki Ootsuki

Publication number: 20100007608Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2007Publication date: January 14, 2010Applicant: Nikon CorporationInventors: Masaki Otsuki, Nobuyuki Miyake, Yasuki Nagaoka, Toru Fujie

Publication number: 20090322654Abstract: The head-mounted display has a rear arm, an accommodating part that is attached to the rear arm, a display arm that is held in the accommodating part so that this display arm can be accommodated, a display part which is attached to the tip end of the display arm so that this display part can pivot, and headphones which are disposed on both end parts of the rear arm, as main parts. A flat cable which supplies a power source and signals to the image display device is led into the accommodating part via a wiring attachment part, and is fastened to the accommodating part by the wiring attachment part. In the accommodating part, the intermediate part of the flat cable is fastened by a wiring retainer. Then, this flat cable enters the display arm from the rear end part of the display arm, and is further conducted to the image display device inside the display part via a spherical-surface coupling.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 9, 2009Publication date: December 31, 2009Applicant: Nikon CorporationInventors: Shigeru KATO, Nobuyuki Miyake, Masaki Ootsuki

Patent number: 7306335Abstract: In a visual training device and a visual training method, different targets are displayed for right and left eyes, respectively, and refractivities of the right and left eyes are measured. Based on the measured refractivities of the eyes, positions of the targets displayed for the right and left eyes are moved in the directions of the respective optical axes. At the same time, the targets are moved so that the visual axes of the right and left eyes incline outward toward the end. The directions of the visual axes of the right and left eyes incline outward toward the end, so that it is possible to relax the strain of musculus ciliaris and relieve visual fatigue through short, effective training.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2004Date of Patent: December 11, 2007Assignee: Nikon CorporationInventors: Nobuyuki Miyake, Masaki Ootsuki, Tsuneto Iwasaki
