  • Patent number: 10802785
    Abstract: An HMD (10a) generates region information indicating a region having, as an axis, a line which passes through the position of the HMD (10a) and that of a wireless I/F (105a). The HMD acquires position information of each of wireless I/Fs of other image processing apparatuses (11b, 11c). The HMD determines if the position indicated by the acquired position information is included in the region indicated by the region information. The HMD selects one of the wireless I/F (105a) and other wireless I/Fs as a wireless communication partner according to the determination result, and receives images via wireless communication with the selected wireless I/F.

  • Patent number: 8165391
    Abstract: If a pixel of interest on a line of interest is located in an attribute region different from that in which a pixel immediately preceding the pixel of interest is located, the luminance value and color difference values of the pixel of interest are recorded in this order adjacent to data recorded in a data packet set for the line of interest (S811). If the pixel of interest is located in the same attribute region as that in which the preceding pixel is located, the luminance value of the pixel of interest is recorded adjacent to the data recorded in the data packet (S812). The data packet generated by executing the above recording process on each pixel forming the line is output.

  • Patent number: 7660044
    Abstract: An image display apparatus has light beam emitting units (304L, 304R) which emit light beams based on image information and a set operating frequency, and MEMS mirrors (305L, 305R) which deflect the emitted light beams by deflection operations based on the operating frequency, in correspondence with the right and left eyes. Resonance frequency detection units (306L, 306R) respectively detect the resonance frequencies of the MEMS mirrors (305L, 305R). A control unit (307) sets the operating frequency of the MEMS mirrors (305L, 305R) based on the detected resonance frequencies.
