DISPLAY CONTROL DEVICE AND DISPLAY CONTROL METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18598161 titled 'DISPLAY CONTROL DEVICE AND DISPLAY CONTROL METHOD
The patent application describes a display control device that acquires a VR video captured by an imaging device and performs reducing processing on a live view image of the VR video to minimize the probability of generating a specific symptom for the user.
- Acquiring unit captures VR video from an imaging device.
- Processing unit reduces processing on live view image to minimize user symptoms.
- Control unit adjusts reducing processing based on user's role as operator of imaging device.
- Display control unit shows image after reducing processing on live view image.
Potential Applications: - Virtual reality content creation - Medical imaging - Gaming and entertainment industries
Problems Solved: - Minimizing symptoms like motion sickness in VR users - Improving user experience in viewing VR content
Benefits: - Enhanced user comfort and experience - More efficient VR content creation process - Reduced likelihood of negative side effects from VR use
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhancing User Experience in Virtual Reality Content Creation" This technology can be used in VR content creation studios, medical imaging facilities, and entertainment companies to improve user experience and reduce negative symptoms associated with VR use.
Prior Art: Prior art related to this technology may include patents or research on VR content creation, motion sickness mitigation in VR, and imaging device control systems.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in VR technology, user experience research, and imaging device innovations to enhance the effectiveness of this display control device.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the control unit determine the degree of reducing processing based on the user's role? - The control unit analyzes movement of the imaging device to adjust the reducing processing accordingly. 2. What are the potential long-term effects of using this technology in VR content creation? - Long-term effects may include improved user satisfaction, increased productivity, and reduced negative symptoms associated with VR use.
Original Abstract Submitted
A display control device includes an acquiring unit, a processing unit, a control unit, and a display control unit. The acquiring unit acquires a VR video captured by an imaging device. The processing unit performs, on a live view image of the VR video, reducing processing to reduce probability of generating a specific symptom to a user viewing the live view image. The control unit controls a degree of the reducing processing on the live view image based on whether or not the user is an operator of the imaging device, in a case where movement of the imaging device is detected. The display control unit controls a display to display an image obtained after the reducing processing is performed on the live view image, in a case where the reducing processing is performed on the live view image.
