The second member 103 is a member having an approximately T-shaped cross-sectional exterior, in which an opening 3a is formed at a position facing the opening 2b of the first member 102.

In addition, in the example in

In the example in
The cursor 61 is an image that moves in the projection image in accordance with a user operation. For example, the projection of the cursor 61 can be performed by including the cursor 61 in the projection image projected to the projection range 11. Accordingly, the cursor 61 can be projected to be superimposed on the projection image. In the example illustrated in
The projection apparatus 10 projects the projection image including the cursor 61 to a position in a range selected by a user operation in the number image 51. Accordingly, difficulty in finding the cursor 61 by the user because of the cursor 61 projected to a position except for the projection object 6 can be avoided.
Particularly, in a case where the wall behind the projection object 6 is separated from the projection object 6 or an object such as a wall is not present behind the projection object 6, it is difficult that the cursor 61 is visible by the user in a case where the cursor 61 is projected to a position except for the projection object 6. Regarding this point, according to the projection apparatus 10, since the cursor 61 is projected to the projection object 6 by causing the user to perform an operation of selecting a number projected to the projection object 6 among the numbers of the number image 51, projection of the cursor 61 to a position except for the projection object 6 can be avoided.
Next, as illustrated in
Next, as illustrated in
In a state where a plurality of the cursors 61 are projected, processing corresponding to the movement operation and the duplication operation are performed for the cursor 61 selected as a selection cursor among the plurality of cursors 61. The user can switch the selection cursor among the plurality of cursors 61 by performing a selection cursor switching operation of providing an instruction to switch the selection cursor among the plurality of cursors 61 on the operation reception portion 2.

<Projection Processing of Content Image by Control Device 4>
First, the control device 4 sets a range in which the number image 51 (second image) is projected in the projection range 11 (step S1201). For example, the control device 4 sets the entire range of the projection range 11 of the projection portion 1 as a range in which the number image 51 is projected.
Alternatively, the control device 4 may set a range of a part of the projection range 11 as the range in which the number image 51 is projected, in accordance with a user operation or the like. For example, the control device 4 may receive a designation of a range of a part such as an upper half, a lower half, a right half, or a left half of the projection range 11 from the operation reception portion 2 and set the received range as the range in which the number image 51 is projected.
By projecting the number image 51 to a range selected by a user operation in the projection range 11, it is possible to project the number image 51 by limiting the range and efficiently set an initial display position of the cursor 61 in a case where the user perceives an approximate position of the projection surface of the projection object 6 in the projection range 11.
Next, the control device 4 generates the number image 51 (step S1202). That is, the control device 4 sets a shape of the number image 51, the number of divided ranges of the number image 51, the identifier attached to each range of the number image 51, and the like. For example, information about the number image 51 is stored in advance in a memory of the control device 4. The control device 4 generates the number image 51 by reading out the information.
Alternatively, the control device 4 may generate the number image 51 that is divided in accordance with a user operation. For example, the control device 4 generates the number image 51 by receiving a setting of the largest number of the number image 51 or the number of divided ranges in the number image 51 from the operation reception portion 2. Accordingly, the number image 51 divided in accordance with a user operation can be flexibly generated with respect to the projection surface of the projection object 6 having various sizes and shapes.
Alternatively, the control device 4 may generate the number image 51 that is divided based on a size of the projection range 11. For example, the control device 4 generates the number image 51 that is divided into more ranges as the projection range 11 is increased. Accordingly, for example, in a case where the projection range 11 is large, the number image 51 divided into a large number of ranges can be projected. Thus, difficulty in designating the range in which the cursor 61 is projected because each range of the number image 51 is excessively large can be avoided.
Alternatively, the control device 4 may generate the number image 51 that is divided based on a shape of the projection range 11. For example, in a case where the projection range 11 is a vertically long rectangle, the control device 4 generates the number image 51 of which the number of divisions in a vertical direction is larger than the number of divisions in a horizontal direction (that is, the number of dividing lines in the horizontal direction is larger than the number of dividing lines in the vertical direction). In addition, in a case where the projection range 11 is a horizontally long rectangle, the control device 4 generates the number image 51 of which the number of divisions in the horizontal direction is larger than the number of divisions in the vertical direction. Accordingly, for example, in a case where the projection range 11 is a vertically long rectangle, the number image 51 divided into a large number of ranges in the vertical direction can be projected. Thus, difficulty in designating the range in which the cursor 61 is projected because each range of the number image 51 is excessively large in the vertical direction can be avoided.
Next, the control device 4 controls the projection portion 1 to project the number image 51 generated in step S1202 to the range decided in step S1201 (step S1203). Next, the control device 4 receives a number selected by the user among the numbers included in the number image 51 projected in step S1203 from the operation reception portion 2 (step S1204). Next, the control device 4 controls the projection portion 1 to project the cursor 61 (first image) to a range corresponding to the number received in step S1204 among the ranges of the number image 51 (step S1205).
Next, the control device 4 determines whether or not the cursor operation such as the movement operation, the duplication operation, or the selection cursor switching operation is received from the operation reception portion 2 (step S1206). In a case where the cursor operation is received (step S1206: Yes), the control device 4 performs processing of the cursor 61 corresponding to the received cursor operation (step S1207) and transitions to step S1208.
In step S1206, in a case where the cursor operation is not received (step S1206: No), the control device 4 determines whether or not the confirmation operation is received from the operation reception portion 2 (step S1208). In a case where the confirmation operation is not received (step S1208: No), the control device 4 returns to step S1206.
In step S1208, in a case where the confirmation operation is received (step S1208: Yes), the control device 4 sets the content projection range (first range) based on the cursor 61 at a time of the confirmation operation (step S1209).
Next, the control device 4 generates the content image corresponding to the content projection range set in step S1209 (step S1210). For example, the control device 4 generates the content image corresponding to the content projection range by performing processing such as enlargement, reduction, or trimming on the original content image.
Next, the control device 4 controls the projection portion 1 to start projecting the content image generated in step S1210 to the content projection range set in step S1209 (step S1211) and finishes the series of processing.
While processing up to the projection of the content image is described using
In addition, for example, after projecting the cursor 61 in step S1205, the control device 4 may receive an operation of providing an instruction to receive a number again from the operation reception portion 2 and return to step S1203 in a case where this operation is received. In addition, for example, after starting the projection of the content image 111 using the reflective member 122, the control device 4 may receive an operation of providing an instruction to set the content projection range 11a again from the operation reception portion 2 and return to step S1203 or step S1206 in a case where this operation is received.
<Modification Example of Projection of Content Image by Projection Apparatus 10>
As illustrated in
The projection apparatus 10 may project an image different from the content image 111 to the edge part range 11c instead of causing light to be not transmitted through the edge part range 11c. For example, the projection apparatus 10 may set an image of a uniform color (as an example, grey) or an image of a constant pattern (for example, a fine lattice pattern) in the part corresponding to the edge part range 11c in the projection image projected to the projection range 11. Accordingly, an image different from the content image 111 is projected to the edge part range 11c. Thus, even in a case where an object such as a wall is present behind the projection object 6, an observer can easily recognize the range of the content image 111.
<Range Setting for Modification Example 1 of Projection Object 6 by Projection Apparatus 10>
While a case where the projection object 6 is a rectangular parallelepiped is described, a shape of the projection object 6 is not limited thereto. For example, the projection object 6 may be a cylindrical object as illustrated in
Even in this case, the projection apparatus 10 first projects the cursor 61 based on a result of the reception of the designation of the number from the user by projecting the number image 51. The user arranges the cursor 61 to surround a desired projection surface in the projection object 6 by performing various cursor operations described above on the operation reception portion 2. In the example illustrated in
In this state, as illustrated in
The projection apparatus 10 generates the content image 111 in accordance with the content projection range 11a and projects the generated content image 111 to the content projection range 11a. In generating the content image 111, the projection apparatus 10 may perform distortion correction corresponding to the curved surface of the content projection range 11a in accordance with a user operation.
<Range Setting for Modification Example 2 of Projection Object 6 by Projection Apparatus 10>
As illustrated in
Even in this case, the projection apparatus 10 first projects the cursor 61 based on the result of the reception of the designation of the number from the user by projecting the number image 51. The user arranges the cursor 61 to surround a desired projection surface in the projection object 6 by performing various cursor operations described above on the operation reception portion 2. In the example illustrated in
In this state, as illustrated in
In the example illustrated in
The projection apparatus 10 generates the two content images 111 in accordance with the content projection ranges 11a and 11b and projects the generated content images 111 to the content projection ranges 11a and 11b, respectively. The two content images 111 may be images obtained by dividing one content image into two images or may be content images independent of each other.
In the projection apparatus 10, a plurality of the first ranges (for example, the content projection ranges 11a and 11b) may be designatable by the cursors 61, and different images may be projected to the plurality of first ranges as the content image. However, the two content images 111 projected to the content projection ranges 11a and 11b may be the same content image.
In generating the two content images 111, the projection apparatus 10 may perform distortion correction corresponding to an angle of each of the two surfaces of the content projection ranges 11a and 11b in accordance with a user operation.
Which one of the setting results in
<Range Setting for Projection Objects 6a and 6b by Projection Apparatus 10>
While a case of projecting the content image 111 to one projection object 6 is described, the content image 111 may be projected to a plurality of projection objects. For example, as illustrated in
Even in this case, the projection apparatus 10 first projects the cursor 61 based on the result of the reception of the designation of the number from the user by projecting the number image 51. The user arranges the cursor 61 to surround a desired projection surface in the projection objects 6a and 6b by performing various cursor operations described above on the operation reception portion 2. In the example illustrated in
In this state, as illustrated in
<Modification Example of First Image for Providing Instruction for Content Projection Range by User>
While the cursor 61 is illustratively described as the first image for providing an instruction for the content projection range by the user, the first image is not limited to the cursor 61. For example, the first image may be a frame image 62 illustrated in
For example, in the state illustrated in
As illustrated in
A duplication operation for duplicating the frame image 62 may be performed in the operation reception portion 2 so that a plurality of content projection ranges (for example, the content projection ranges 11a and 11b) can be set.
As described above, the projection apparatus 10 projects the first image for providing an instruction for the first range for the projection of the content image by the user from the projection portion 1 to a position corresponding to a user operation (for example, an operation of selecting a number based on the number image 51) such that the first is superimposed on the projection image and sets the first range in accordance with a user operation performed on the first image. Accordingly, projection of the first image for providing the instruction for the first range for the projection of the content image by the user to a position different from the projection object and difficulty in finding the first image for the user can be avoided. Thus, the setting of the range in which the content image is projected can be facilitated.
Each of the above modification examples can be embodied in combination. For example, in the examples illustrated in
In addition, while the number image 51 in which an identifier such as a number is attached to each range is illustratively described as the second image divided into a plurality of ranges, the second image is not limited thereto. For example, the second image may be an image divided into a plurality of ranges to which identifiers are not attached. In this case, for example, the projection apparatus 10 displays one range of the plurality of ranges of the second image in a highlighted manner and receives a user operation of providing an instruction to switch the highlighted range and a user operation of providing an instruction to select the range displayed in a highlighted manner as an initial projection range of the number image 51. Accordingly, the initial projection range of the number image 51 can be set without an identifier.
Parts of Embodiment 2 different from Embodiment 1 will be described. In Embodiment 2, the first image for providing the instruction for the first range for the projection of the content image by the user is projected to a position except for an end part in the projection range 11 from the projection portion 1 such that the first image is superimposed on the projection image.
<Projection Processing of Content Image by Control Device 4 of Embodiment 2>
First, the control device 4 controls the projection portion 1 to project the cursor 61 to the center of the projection range 11 (step S231). In this case, the control device 4 may not perform the processing of projecting the number image 51. Steps S232 to S237 illustrated in
The projection apparatus 10 projects the cursor 61 (first image) for providing an instruction for the content projection range 11a for the projection of the content image 111 by the user to the center of the projection range 11. Accordingly, the cursor 61 is projected to a position except for the projection surface of the projection object 6 by approximately matching the center of the projection range 11 to a center of the projection surface of the projection object 6.
Thus, it is possible to avoid difficulty in finding the cursor 61 for the user and facilitate the setting of the content projection range 11a. In addition, since the user may not perform an operation (for example, the operation of selecting the number based on the number image 51) for setting a projection position of the cursor 61, the setting of the range in which the content image is projected can be further facilitated.
The projection position of the cursor 61 is not limited to the center of the projection range 11 and can be a predetermined position (as an example, a position slightly below the center of the projection range 11) other than the center of the projection range 11.
