HEAD MOUNTED DISPLAY AND OPTICAL POSITION ADJUSTMENT METHOD OF THE SAME
First Claim
1. An optical position adjustment method of a head mounted display, the head mounted display including(a) an eyeglass type frame worn on the head of a viewer, and(b) two image display devices for the right and left eyes attached to the frame, andeach of the image display devices including(A) an image forming device, and(B) an optical device adapted to receive, guide and emit light emitted from the image forming device,wherein the optical position adjustment method comprises the step of:
- controlling an image signal that is supplied to the image forming device making up at least one of the image display devices so as to control the position of the image displayed on the optical device making up at least one of the image display devices and adjust the mutual positions of the two images.

2. An optical position adjustment method of a head mounted display, the head mounted display including
(a) an eyeglass type frame worn on the head of a viewer, and (b) two image display devices for the right and left eyes attached to the frame, and each of the image display devices including (A) an image forming device, and (B) an optical device adapted to receive, guide and emit light emitted from the image forming device, wherein the optical position adjustment method comprises the steps of: -
capturing an image displayed on each optical device with an associated imaging device; finding the displacement of the image obtained by each of the imaging devices from a reference position; and controlling an image signal that is supplied to the image forming device making up at least one of the image display devices so as to eliminate the displacement and adjust the mutual positions of the two images. - View Dependent Claims (3)
