First Claim
1. A multi-person shared display device, which is a display device shared by a plurality of users, comprising:
- a display device, which displays a plurality of images for a plurality of users on a screen;
a display mask, which is disposed so as to cover said display device separated by a fixed distance and has one fixed sufficiently large hole through which each of said plurality of users watches said image corresponding to the user on said display device, and by which a visible region upon the display surface varies depending on viewpoint position of each of the users;
a position sensor, which detects a location of the user in real space corresponding to said display device; and
a processing device, which is dynamically combined with said display device and said position sensor, and varies an image upon said display device in accordance with said location of the user through said position sensor so that relative positions between viewpoint and said display device are appropriately corrected corresponding to changes in the relative positions.

Abstract
The object of the present invention is to provide a multi-person shared display device with which a display device can be shared by a plurality of persons. For this purpose, a display device of the present invention is configured by a large screen display 112 and a display mask 114, which covers and hides a portion thereof. The display mask 114 is disposed at a position only an appropriate distance away from a display surface 116. The display mask 114 has a hole 118, and only through that portion can the display surface 116 of display 112 be seen. By introducing such display mask 114, the region visible upon the display surface differs depending on the viewpoint position of the user. As a result, it becomes possible to provide different content for every user.
