Patent ID: 8094091

Claim:
An information presenting apparatus for presenting information using a transmissive head-mounted display equipped with a display module for each eye of a wearer, the information presenting apparatus comprising: a point-of-view position identifying module configured to identify a point-of-view position of the wearer based on position of existence and height of the head-mounted display in real-world space; a line-of-sight direction identifying module configured to identify a line-of-sight direction of the wearer by making use of a tilt of the head-mounted display; a moving-object position identifying module configured to identify a position of existence of a moving object that the wearer is boarding in the real-world space; a relative coordinate system setting module configured to set a relative coordinate system representing a relative position relation between the position of existence of the head-mounted display and the position of existence of the moving object; a visibility range identifying module configured to identify visibility range of the wearer in the relative coordinate system based on the point-of-view position and the line-of-sight direction; a memory module configured to store, in a corresponding manner, a virtual object representing a predetermined target and a position of placement in the relative coordinate system of the virtual object; a placement module configured to read, from the memory module, a virtual object at a position of placement that is included in the visibility range and is represented in the relative coordinate system and, based on the position of placement associated with the virtual object, to virtually place the virtual object at a corresponding position in the relative coordinate system; an image generating module configured to generate an image for left eye and an image for right eye that represent a placement status of the virtual object when viewed from a left eye and a right eye, respectively, of the wearer; and a display control module configured to display the image for left eye on the display module disposed for the left eye of the wearer and to display the image for right eye on the display module disposed for the right eye of the wearer.
