概要/Abstract

In wearable computing environments, an optical see-through head mounted display (HMD) is a most suited device for displaying information. Although an optical see-through HMD can display information without interfering with the user's view, it becomes very hard to recognize the displayed information in the case where the background of the HMD is too complicated or too bright. In this paper, we propose an object layout method for an optical see-through HMD considering its background. Our method determines the appropriate area for displaying objects by evaluating the background of HMD captured from a pantoscope camera. Moreover, if there is no suitable area for displaying objects in sight of the user, our method selects the appropriate area from the image around the user and instructs the user to watch the area. Using these functions, our method displays information to ideal areas.
