1. A head-mount type display device comprising:
- an image display device adapted to allow a user to view an image when mounted on a head of the user;
a detection section adapted todetect biological information of the user in response to the image display device beginning to allow the user to view the image, the biological information comprising information for identifying a pulse wave,calculate a reference value based on the biological information detected by the detection section during an initial use time period, the initial use time period comprising a predetermined time period that begins when the detection section begins detecting the biological information in response to the image display device beginning to allow the user to view the image,calculate another value based on the biological information detected by the detection section during another time period after the initial use time period, anddetermine whether the another value varies from the reference value by more than a predetermined threshold value; and
an annunciation section adapted toinform the user of image control information in response to a determination that the another value varies from the reference value by more than the predetermined threshold value, the image control information comprising a predetermined message configured to prompt the user to stop viewing the image using the image display device of the head-mount type display device,whereineach of the reference value and the another value is a value of a maximum difference in a heartbeat interval,the value of the maximum difference in the heartbeat interval is a difference between a maximum value of the heartbeat interval and a minimum value of the heartbeat interval in a predetermined number of beats of the heart, andthe image display device displays the predetermined message after the image is displayed on the image display device.

Abstract
A head-mount type display device includes an image display device adapted to allow a user to visually recognize an image in a state of being mounted on a head of a user, a detection section disposed in the image display device and adapted to detect biological information of the user, a control section adapted to perform control of the image visually recognized by the user using the image display device, and an annunciation section adapted to inform the user of image control information as information related to the control of the image based on a variation in the biological information detected.

6. A method of controlling a head-mount type display device including an image display device adapted to allow a user to view an image when mounted on a head of the user and a detection section adapted to detect biological information of the user, the method comprising:
-
detecting the biological information in response to the image display device beginning to allow the user to view the image; calculating a reference value based on the biological information detected during an initial use time period, the initial use time period comprising a predetermined time period that begins when the detecting of the biological information in response to the image display device beginning to allow the user to view the image begins; calculating another value based on the biological information detected during another time period after the initial use period; determining whether the another value varies from the reference value by more than a predetermined threshold value; and informing the user of image control information in response to a determination that the another value varies from the reference value by more than the predetermined threshold value, wherein the biological information comprises information for identifying a pulse wave, each of the reference value and the another value is a value of a maximum difference in a heartbeat interval, the value of the maximum difference in the heartbeat interval is a difference between a maximum value of the heartbeat interval and a minimum value of the heartbeat interval in a predetermined number of beats of the heart, the image control information comprises a predetermined message configured to prompt the user to stop viewing the image using the image display device of the head-mount type display device, and the image display device displays the predetermined message after the image is displayed on the image display device.
