| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The goal of ongoing research projects including this research is to construct a system in which visually impaired students can attend university lectures without inconvenience. In this project, we have proto0type of eyeglasses that provide the normal field of view for the visual field impaired using cameras and HMDs. The image from the camera is reduced and displayed in the HMD according to the situation of the visual field narrowing. The problem became fatigue of the eyes. The cause was to keep gazing at small images without moving the eyeball. In this study, the image was displayed ahead of the line of sight according to eye movements. We aimed to reduce fatigue of HMD wearer by detecting the movement of the line of sight due to the eyeball movement with a micro camera inside the HMD and moving the display position of the image in the direction of the line of sight.
