Display apparatus operable in synchronism with a movement of the body of a viewer
First Claim
1. A display apparatus operable in a synchronized relationship with a movement of the body of a viewer, comprising:
- display means for displaying a portion of an original image on a screen;
angle calculation means including means for detecting one of a movement amount and a turning angle of a part of the body of a viewer of said display means;
video processing means for extracting a portion of said original image in response to one of said movement amount and said turning angle and supplying said extracted portion of said original image to said display means;
audio reproduction means; and
audio processing means connected to said audio reproduction means for processing an audio signal in response to one of said movement amount and said turning angle calculated by said angle calculation means so that sound is output from a position corresponding to said portion of said original image extracted by said video processing means, wherein said audio processing means includes;
storage means connected to said angle calculation means for storing a table correlating said turning angle to an impulse response representing a virtual sound source position, andconvolution integrator means connected to said storage means for convolutionally integrating said impulse response with said audio signal.

Abstract
The invention provides a display apparatus which operates in a synchronized relationship with a movement of the body of a viewer. A movement amount or a turning angle of the entire body or a part of the body of a viewer such as, for example, a movement of the eye-balls or a turning angle of the head, is detected by a sensor, and a portion of an original image is extracted and displayed in response to a magnitude of the detected movement amount or turning angle. Simultaneously, an audio signal is processed based on the information from the sensor so that an audio image may be formed at a normal position corresponding to the displayed image.
