  • Publication number: 20190303658
    Abstract: A motion generating apparatus includes memory and processing circuitry coupled to the memory. The memory is configured to store a learned model. The learned model outputs, when path information is input, motion information of an object which moves according to the path information. The processing circuitry accepts input of parameters regarding a plurality of objects, and generates path information of the plurality of objects based on the parameters according to predetermined rules. The processing circuitry inputs the generated path information of the plurality of objects into the learned model, and causes the learned model to generate motion information with respect to the path information of the plurality of objects.

  • Publication number: 20150338655
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a display device includes a light emitter and a reflector. The light emitter emits light including image information. The reflector has a plurality of reflective surfaces arranged in a first direction. The reflective surfaces reflect a portion of the light. A length in a second direction of one of the reflective surfaces is longer than a length in the first direction of the one of the reflective surfaces. The second direction intersects the first direction. A first plane is tilted with respect to a second plane. The first plane includes an incident direction of the light at the reflector and a reflection direction of the light at the reflector. The second plane includes the first direction and the second direction. The second direction is tilted with respect to an intersection line between the first plane and the second plane.

  • Publication number: 20150338656
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a display device includes a display unit, a reflective/transmissive unit, and an optical unit. The display unit emits image light including image information. The reflective/transmissive unit reflects at least a portion of the image light and transmits at least a portion of background light. The optical unit is provided between the display unit and the reflective/transmissive unit in an optical path of the image light. A refractive power of the optical unit is determined according to a refractive power of the reflective/transmissive unit for the background light passing through the reflective/transmissive unit.
