Abstract

According to an aspect, a display system includes: a display device attached to VR goggles; and an information processing device configured to output an image to the display device. The display device includes a sensor configured to supply a detection signal indicating a motion of the display device, and a display part. The information processing device includes an information processor configured to receive information detected by the sensor of the display device and generate an image signal based on the received information. The display part of the display device displays an image based on the image signal generated by the information processor.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A display system comprising:
a display device attached to VR goggles; and an information processing device configured to output an image to the display device, wherein the display device comprises
a sensor configured to supply a detection signal indicating a motion of the display device, and
at least one display part with an image display panel, the information processing device comprises
an information processor configured to receive information detected by the sensor and generate an image signal based on the information, and
the display part displays an image based on the image signal generated by the information processor.

2 . The display system according to claim 1 , wherein
the display device comprises two display parts, the information processor of the information processing device generates the image signal corresponding to a connected image obtained by connecting images corresponding to the two display parts based on the information detected by the sensor, and the display device comprises a signal processor configured to divide the image signal corresponding to the connected image received from the information processing device, and the two display parts display images resulting from the division by the signal processor.

3 . The display system according to claim 1 , wherein
the information processing device comprises a power source unit configured to supply power to the display device, and the display device comprises a power receiver configured to receive the power from the power source unit.

4 . The display system according to claim 3 , wherein the display device drives the sensor based on the power received by the power receiver from the power source unit.

5 . The display system according to claim 3 , wherein the display device drives the display part based on the power received by the power receiver from the power source unit.

6 . The display system according to claim 1 , wherein the display device comprises neither a battery nor an information processor configured to generate an image based on a detection signal from the sensor.

7 . The display system according to claim 1 , wherein
the display device is held in front of the eyes of a user by the VR goggles, and the sensor of the display device outputs a detection signal indicating a motion of the eyes of the user.

8 . The display system according to claim 1 , wherein
the display device comprises two display parts, and the information processing device comprises:
a storage unit configured to store therein parameters corresponding to optical characteristics of a plurality of types of VR goggles independently for each of the plurality of types of VR goggles; and
a controller configured to control output of the image based on any one of the parameters of the plurality of types of VR goggles.

9 . The display system according to claim 8 , wherein the parameters include a distance between optical axes of two lenses included in the VR goggles.

10 . A display device attached to VR goggles, the display device comprising:
a sensor configured to acquire a detection signal indicating a motion of the display device; an interface configured to supply the detection signal acquired by the sensor to an information processing device and acquire an image signal generated by the information processing device based on the detection signal; and at least one display part configured to display an image based on the image signal supplied from the information processing device.

11 . The display device according to claim 10 comprising:
two display parts; and
a signal processor configured to receive the image signal corresponding to a connected image obtained by connecting images corresponding to the two display parts generated based on information detected by the sensor and divide the image signal corresponding to the connected image, wherein
the two display parts display images resulting from the division by the signal processor.

12 . The display device according to claim 10 , wherein the display device comprises neither a battery nor an information processor configured to generate the image based on the detection signal from the sensor.

13 . The display device according to claim 10 comprising: two display parts configured to display an image based on the image signal controlled by the information processing device so as to correspond to optical characteristics of the VR goggles.

14 . The display device according to claim 13 , wherein the optical characteristics include a distance between optical axes of two lenses included in the VR goggles.
