TRANSPARENT DISPLAY APPARATUS AND CONTROLLING METHOD THEREOF
First Claim
1. A transparent display apparatus, comprising:
- a transparent display which displays a virtual object having a predetermined position on a virtual dimensional area;
a first detector which detects a position of a real object placed in a first direction from the transparent display;
a second detector which detects a position of a user in a second direction from the transparent display; and
a controller which estimates distances of the real object and the virtual object with respect to the position of the user, and an overlapping area of the real object and the virtual object on the transparent display with respect to the position of the user based on the detected position of the real object, the detected position of the user and the predetermined position of the virtual object,wherein the controller controls the transparent display to display the virtual object on the overlapping area based on the distances of the real object and the virtual object regarding the position of the user.

Abstract
A transparent display apparatus includes a transparent display which displays a virtual object, a first detector which detects a position of a real object placed in a first direction from the transparent display, a second detector which detects a position of a user in a second direction from the transparent display, and a controller which estimates distances of the real object and the virtual object with respect to the position of the user, and an overlapping area of the real object and the virtual object on the transparent display with respect to the position of the user based on the detected position of the real object, the detected position of the user and the position of the virtual object. The controller controls the transparent display to display the virtual object on the overlapping area based on the distances of the real object and the virtual object regarding the user position.

7. A method of controlling a transparent display apparatus displaying a virtual object having a predetermined position on a virtual dimensional area, the method comprising:
-
detecting a position of a real object placed in a first direction from the transparent display, and a position of a user in a second direction from the transparent display; estimating distances of the real object and the virtual object with respect to the position of the user and an overlapping area of the real object and the virtual object on the transparent display from the position of the user based on the detected position of the real object, the detected position of the user and the predetermined position of the virtual object; determining as to whether or not to display the virtual object on the overlapping area based on the distances of the real object and the virtual object with respect to the position of the user; and displaying the virtual object based on the determination results. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A transparent display apparatus, comprising:
-
a transparent display to display a virtual object; a first detector to detect a position of a real object placed behind the transparent display; a second detector to detects a position of a user in front of the transparent display; and a controller to estimate an overlapping area of the real object and the virtual object on the transparent display with respect to the position of the user based on the detected position of the real object, the detected position of the user and a position of the virtual object. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
