In general, the present disclosure is directed to an artificial window system that can simulate the user experience of a traditional window in environments where exterior walls are unavailable or other constraints make traditional windows impractical. In an embodiment, an artificial window consistent with the present disclosure includes a window panel, a panel driver, and a camera device. The camera device captures a plurality of image frames representative of an outdoor environment and provides the same to the panel driver. A controller of the panel driver sends the image frames as a video signal to cause the window panel to visually output the same. The window panel may further include light panels, and the controller may extract light characteristics from the captured plurality of image frames to send signals to the light panels to cause the light panels to mimic outdoor lighting conditions.

According to principles of the embodiments as disclosed herein, a device that determines its own orientation and selects an appropriately oriented antenna based on the device's orientation is provided. The device may include a housing including an interior having a base and a top and a first sidewall extending from a perimeter of the base to the top. A plurality of antenna may be coupled to the housing one or more orientation sensors may also be coupled to the housing. A controller may be electrically coupled to each of the plurality of antenna and the one or more orientation sensors, and may be configured to receive information from the one or more orientation sensors, determine an orientation of the housing, and select one of the plurality of antenna to transmit and receive data. A transceiver may be located within the housing and at least one of the plurality of antenna may be being electrically coupled to the antenna.

The invention has an object to provide a display device that enables a user to obtain information from a projection image without losing information obtained from the surrounding environment. The display device is to be mounted on a head of the user for allowing the user to view a predetermined image, and includes a light quantity detector (17) to detect a quantity of external light; a laser (211R, 211G, 211B) to emit a laser light having a light quantity depending on a current value; a light attenuator (22) including filters to switch an attenuation ratio so as to attenuate the laser light; an optical scanner (15) to scan the laser light transmitted through the filter; an optical projection system (16) to project the scanned laser light to form an image; and a controller (27) to control brightness of the image by increasing or decreasing the current value and by switching the attenuation ratio of the filter, based on the light quantity of the external light detected by the light quantity detector.

The present disclosure discloses a method and apparatus for always-on display, and a computer-readable storage medium. The method includes: acquiring a plurality of content elements, a plurality of element meanings and a plurality of storage locations required for the always-on display, where each content element corresponds to an element meaning and a storage location; determining target information content, where the target information content needs to be displayed through an always-on display function; acquiring a content element required for displaying the target information content from the plurality of content elements based on the target information content, the plurality of element meanings, and the plurality of storage locations; and displaying the target information content through the always-on display function based on the acquired content element.

The present disclosure provides a rollable display device including a display panel configured to display an image, a panel roller having a mechanical structure that enables rolling up the display panel around an outer circumferential surface of the panel roller, and a roller driving unit configured to control a motor so that the display panel rolls around the outer circumferential surface of the panel roller or unrolls therefrom, wherein the roller driving unit and the motor are disposed in the panel roller.

A holding tool is capable of performing positioning and reliable attachment by simple insertion operation when attaching a wearable device, and is capable of performing reliable detachment by simple operation when the device is detached. When a body part of a wearable device is inserted into a holding frame body, a projected engagement part of an elastic pressing body provided in the holding frame body is engaged with an upper surface and/or a lower surface of the body part. Engagement between the upper surface and/or the lower surface of the body part and the projected engagement part of the elastic pressing body is released by operating an operation part of the elastic pressing body upward and/or downward, to allow the wearable device to be pulled out of the holding frame body.

A wide angle image to be displayed on a screen fixed on the head or the face of a user is processed. When a display view angle reaches a boundary of an original wide angle image 701, an indicator 703 indicating reaching the boundary is added to a free viewpoint image 702. The indicator 703 is a part of the free viewpoint image 702 which is in contact with a boundary 704 of the wide angle image 701 or protrudes from the boundary 704 and is displayed as a black-painted frame. By observing such the indicator 703, the user can intuitively understand that the display area reaches the limit of the wide angle image.

There is provided an information processing device, an information processing method, and a program that enable improvement in the operability of an HMD. An output control unit prevents reflection of an operation in an output, in accordance with the attachment state of a housing to be attached to a head of a user. The operation is performed on an operation receiving unit provided in the housing. The present technology can be applied to a display module that forms an HMD.
