[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the device belongs]

 The present invention relates to a virtual experience room that can be installed in any place, indoors or outdoors.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Audiences can easily have a simulated experience with an entertainment device that has recently introduced a stereophonic system. At this time, the spectator had to wear headphones or a complicated device (which would burden the spectator). In addition, a relatively large number of objects that are associated with fear and pleasure are placed in the room of this type of entertainment device.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, as described above, the headphones had to be worn once before the simulated experience, which made the wearing process troublesome for the audience. And before the audience had a simulated experience, each person had a different prejudice with the above-mentioned shaped object (that is, he / she had a self-imagination), so the simulated experience effect might be diminished.

Therefore, the present invention solves the above-mentioned drawbacks, mainly focuses on realistic three-dimensional sound, and adds effects that stimulate visual, tactile, and olfactory sensations to surely simulate the audience. The purpose is to provide an epoch-making virtual experience room that can be experienced.

[Embodiment of device]

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings showing an embodiment.

1 to 3 show a virtual experience room of the present invention, which comprises a box body 1, a plurality of chairs 2 provided in an actual space R of the box body 1, and a box. An image device 3 attached to the inside of the body 1 for displaying an image in the real space R, a plurality of three-dimensional sound generators 5 provided in the inside of the box body 1, ... The ceiling wall vibrating device 7 that applies vibration is provided. The substantial space R is a space formed by the left and right side wall portions 9 and 9, the front and rear wall portions 8 and 8, the ceiling wall portion 6 and the floor surface portion 10 of the box body 1.

A modeled object 13 that is configured to move for a moment by three-dimensional sound at the four corners of the box body 1, a chandelier 14 on the ceiling wall portion 6, a door 15 on the front wall portion 8, and a rear wall portion. A mantlepiece 16 is attached to the No. 8. Further, specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of the ceiling wall vibration devices 7 are attached to the ceiling wall 6 (of the box body 1). Further, the screen 3 a of the video device 3 is located above the mantle piece 16.

The box body 1 is of a container type that can be transported, moved, and installed. That is, it can be easily installed by transporting (not only permanently) to a place where people often gather, specifically, amusement facilities, various service facilities such as hotels and restaurants, etc.

Furthermore, it is possible to promptly respond to short-term entertainment. Although not shown in the drawings, the box 1 also has a strange appearance such as an old castle, and therefore plays a great role as an eye-catching landmark (this appearance can be changed appropriately). it can) .

As shown in FIG. 4, the chair 2 holds the chair body 2a and the speakers 4 and 4 at left and right positions corresponding to the ears of the spectator 17 sitting on the chair body 2a. And members 2b and 2b. Therefore, the stereoscopic sound from the speakers 4 and 4 held by the holding members 2b and 2b allows the spectator 17 to experience the pseudo space by illusion of the real space R (of the box 1).

Further, specifically, the holding member 2b is inwardly projected from both left and right sides of the backrest portion 2c (of the chair 2). It should be noted that this chair 2 is made of an inorganic design that makes you feel a tombstone or the like, and is a sturdy one-piece molded product that can withstand a spectator 17 of any body type, that is, heavier or heavier. .

The chair 2 also has a function of blowing gas, liquid, etc. onto the spectator 17, for example, air, wind, perfume, water drops, etc. For example, the air (or the wind) plays an auxiliary role in causing an offensive odor to drift to the spectator 17, and the perfume plays a role in eliminating this offensive odor. Also, water droplets spout onto the spectator 17 in a scene where blood is splashed.

Further, the chair 2 is configured to move in association with the stereophonic sound from the speakers 4 and 4 held by the holding members 2b and 2b. That is, since the vibration imparting members such as the air cylinder and the hydraulic cylinder provided in the chair body 2a react to the above-mentioned three-dimensional sound, the body of the spectator 17 seated in the chair body 2a is bounded and bounced or rolled. Intense vibration (shaking) is applied. It is also preferable to attach a body vibration generator 11 to the chair 2 (which, contrary to the above, imparts a comfortable vibration to the body).

Further, the holding members 2b, 2b of the chair 2 are provided on the chair body 2a, specifically, on the backrest portion 2c so as to be vertically movable. For this reason, the vertical positions of the speakers 4 and 4 are also variable, so that the speakers 4 and 4 can always be kept close to the ears of the spectator 17. In addition, if the holding members 2b, 2b are provided with a wind blowing portion 18 that blows out a weak wind (as described later), the wind is blown around the ears (since it can be adjusted to the position of the ears of the spectator by vertical movement). Is preferable because it hits gently.

The stereophonic sound generators 5 are specifically arranged in the upper four corners 12 of the box 1. In addition, as the stereophonic sound generator 5, ... To assist the stereophonic sound from the speakers 4 and 4 of the chair 2 (at the ear), that is, to give the audience 17 a powerful and realistic feeling. , A speaker that emits super-low bass, a super woofer, etc. are used as appropriate.

Further, at appropriate positions in the substantial space R (of the box 1), wind blowout portions 18 for blowing wind to the respective chairs 2 are provided. Specifically, the wind blowout portions 18 are provided near the feet of the chair body 2a, the holding member 2b of the chair 2 and the ceiling wall portion 6. Then, the wind blowout portions 18 provided near the ceiling wall portion 6 blow a strong wind on the spectators 17 sitting on the chair 2. In addition, the wind blower 18 provided on the holding member 2b blows a (weakest) weak wind on the ears of the spectator 17 sitting on the chair 2 (therefore, the spectator 17 can enjoy the horrifying and frightening feeling of hair). Will be). In addition, strong wind or weak wind is applied from the wind blowout portions 18 near the feet depending on the situation.

Further, in this virtual experience room, the stereophonic sound from the speakers 4, 4 and the stereophonic sound generator 5, ..., The image displayed in the physical space R by the imager 3, various functions of the chair 2, and A combination of one or more of the vibrations applied to the ceiling wall portion 6 by the ceiling wall portion vibration device 7--for example, only stereophonic sound, stereophonic sound and video, or stereophonic sound and chair 2 A control device (not shown) for controlling the combination of various functions of the above and vibration applied to the ceiling wall portion 6 is provided.

Since this control device is configured to operate with an exchangeable storage medium (PC card), if storage media having different functions are prepared in advance, these storage media can be stored. A wide variety of effects can be performed in the physical space R simply by exchanging the medium. The PC card is a generic term for credit card-sized devices that are inserted into a computer-dedicated slot for use.

Next, a method of using this virtual experience room will be described. First, the spectators 17 ... Are guided by the guide from the (opened) door 15 of the box 1 to the actual space R in which a strange atmosphere is created by the stereophonic sound of the stereophonic sound generator 5. (See FIGS. 1 and 3). Then, for the spectators 17 ..., a spooky oil painting-like portrait (previously projected on the screen 3a of the image device 3) is provided above the mantle piece 16 in front of the box 1 (that is, the rear wall 8). appear.

Next, according to the guide, the spectators 17 ... Sit on any chairs 2 ... As shown in FIG. At this time, the spectator 17 moves the holding members 2b, 2b (of the chair 2) up and down as shown by the arrow A, and positions the speakers 4, 4 so as to correspond to the vicinity of both ears of the speaker (if not, the spectator). This is because 17 can experience the pseudo space by illusion of the real space R with the stereophonic sound from the speakers 4 and 4.)

Then, when the guide confirms that all the spectators 17 are seated (in the chairs 2 ...), he / she exits the door 15 and closes the door 15. After that, the stereophonic sound (from the speakers 4 and 4 and the stereophonic sound generating device 5 ...) Increases gradually, and an eerie laughter is heard. When the audience 17… looks in that direction, the mouth of the portrait, which should have been an oil painting, moves and the eyes are shining.

Furthermore, the narration of the portrait (represented as if it were alive) allows the spectators 17 ... to predict a future experience. And the stereophonic sound becomes louder.

After that, sudden lightning strikes and rumbling noises are heard. Then, the illumination of the chandelier 14 falls, the inside of the actual space R becomes completely dark, and a thunderbolt reverberates again. At the same time, a strong wind blows (at the wind blower 18 provided near the ceiling wall 6). It is applied to 17 ...

Further, the ground noise etc. resonates more violently, and the moaning, screaming and crying sounds occur. Then, when these miscellaneous sounds reach their peaks, the real space R suddenly becomes silent (that is, silent state). During this period, the body vibration generator 11 of the chair 2 constantly vibrates the body of the spectator 17.

Next, the ceiling wall portion 6 vibrates in the ceiling wall portion vibrating device 7 ... (At this time, an acoustic-like sound that strikes the ceiling wall portion 6 is added). Then, due to the weak wind from the wind blowing parts 18 provided in the vicinity of the feet of the chair body 2a, the spectators 17 feel that something strange is touching their feet.

Then, suddenly, the illusion that the demon has fallen from the ceiling wall 6 in front of the audience 17 ... This monster circulates in the real space R with a rough breath as if it were determined.

After that, the audience 17 gradually feels as if the demon is approaching in front of them. Then, the monster stops on its right side, growls and approaches its face slowly, and blows a strange odor on its neck (this strange odor is carried by the air and wind of chair 2). Furthermore, at the moment when this monster tried to attack itself, a strong lightning strike, a rumbling noise, etc. echoed, and the monster was blown away by the strong wind (from the wind blowout part 18 ... provided near the ceiling wall part 6) and moved away.

Next, in the real space R, only the stereophonic sound from the stereophonic sound generators 5 ... Is generated, and the chandelier 14 is dimly lit. At this time, the audience 17 feels that the atmosphere in the real space R is different from the beginning. In other words, the portrait becomes a monster and blood is flowing from the upper part of the forehead, the shaped objects 13 ... at the four corners of the box 1 move for a moment, and moans, screams and red cries are heard.

Then, the chandelier 14 starts fluctuating, and the light of the chandelier 14 is extinguished by a lightning strike or a rumbling noise, and the inside of the actual space R becomes dark again. After that, something (unfamiliar) moved around, and moans fluttered around. Suddenly, when something stops moving, something approaches you.

Further, the player quiesces near his / her left ear, and the moaning turns into a creepy laughter (that is, this something is the above demon). Also, this monster will give a different odor to the audience 17 ... Then, the demon can't decide between himself and his neighbor, and eventually bites his neighbor. At this time, I felt that the blood that had been bitten and scattered by my neighbor was on me (actually, water droplets are splashing from the chair 2 to the spectators 17).

Eventually, the above-mentioned lightning strike and ground noise stopped, the chandelier 14 was turned on, and the original image was restored. Finally, as shown in FIG. 3, the guide opens the door 15 and instructs each spectator 17 ... To raise the holding members 2b, 2b (of the chair 2). Then, the spectator 17 ... Exits from the door 15 while receiving the wind of forced ventilation (due to the wind blower 18 provided near the ceiling wall 6).

As described above, as an example, the experience (experience) of the pseudo space of fear is shown, but just by exchanging the storage medium (PC card), the pseudo space of various patterns such as pleasure can also be experienced. can do.

Further, in the illustrated example, a case where a large number of spectators 17 ... Can be used at one time is shown, but the virtual experience room according to the present invention is not limited to this, and has a real space R of only one spectator 17. (That is, one-box type).

[0039]

[Effect of device]

 The present invention has the following significant effects with the above configuration.

(According to claim 1) It is not necessary to wear a device such as headphones when experiencing the pseudo space as in the conventional case, so that the spectators 17 do not feel any trouble (complication). Complete.

Further, since the speakers 4 and 4 are always located at the left and right positions corresponding to the vicinity of the ears of the spectator 17, the spectator 17 produces a sound image represented by stereophonic sound from the speakers 4 and 4 ( It is possible to definitely experience the pseudo space by illusion of the real space R (of the box 1).

Then, the spectators 17 can fully experience the pseudo space only by sitting on the chair 2 (without moving in the actual space R of the box body 1). Therefore, the box body 1 does not need to have a vast physical space R, and thus the virtual laboratory of the present invention can be installed at any place.

Since the box body 1 (according to claim 2) is of a container type that can be transported, moved and installed freely, the virtual experience room of the present invention is not only permanently installed in a predetermined place but also quickly for short-term entertainment. It is extremely convenient to deal with.

(According to claim 3, gas, liquid, etc. are sprayed from the chair 2 to the spectators 17 ... Therefore, from this spray and the speakers 4, 4 held by the holding members 2b, 2b (of the chair 2) The sound image expressed by the stereophonic sound of the above will synergize with each other so that the audience 17 can experience the pseudo space more accurately.

Since the chair 2 (according to claim 4) moves in association with the stereophonic sound, this movement and the stereophonic sound from the speakers 4 and 4 held by the holding members 2 b and 2 b (of the chair 2). With the sound image expressed by, the spectators 17 can experience the pseudo space more reliably.

(According to claim 5) The light vibration is applied to the whole body by the body vibration generator 11 attached to the chair 2, so that the spectator 17 can reach an extremely comfortable state.

(According to claim 6) Since the holding members 2b, 2b for holding the speakers 4, 4 that emit stereophonic sound can move up and down with respect to the chair body 2a, the spectators 17 ... Even if they have it, they can be surely adapted to the vicinity of both ears of these spectators 17 ... Therefore, all spectators 17 can certainly experience the pseudo-space without complaining.

(According to claim 7), the stereophonic sound (super bass) from the stereophonic sound generators 5 provided in the physical space R assists the stereophonic sound from the speakers 4 and 4 of the chair 2. Further, since vibration is applied to the ceiling wall portion 6 by the ceiling wall portion vibrating device 7 ..., the spectator 17 has the illusion that something (unfamiliar) is hitting the ceiling wall portion 6. To do. Therefore, the three-dimensional sound, vibration, and the like synergize with each other, so that the spectators 17 can more reliably experience the illusion of the real space R and experience the pseudo space.

Since the spectators 17 have a wide variety of sensitivities, there is a fear that these spectators 17 will experience a different (or unique) pseudo space from others even though they are in the same physical space R. Can be enough. For this reason, it will further arouse the interest of the spectators 17 who want to feel (or want to enjoy) fear in the virtual experience room of the present invention.

Since the three-dimensional sound generators 5 are arranged in the upper four corners 12 of the box body 1 (according to claim 8), the three-dimensional sound (super-low bass) from the three-dimensional sound generators 5 ... ) Spreads in all directions in the real space R. Therefore, the above-mentioned three-dimensional sound surely assists (amplifies) the three-dimensional sound from the speakers 4 and 4 (of the chair 2), so that the spectators 17 can more reliably illusion of the real space R and create a pseudo space. You can experience it.

(According to claim 9) The wind blowout portions 18 ... Arranged at appropriate positions in the physical space R (specifically, near the feet of the chair body 2a, near the ceiling wall portion 6, etc.) , (Depending on the sound image represented by the stereophonic sound), the wind blows to the spectators 17 sitting in their respective chairs 2…, so that these spectators 17 experience the pseudo space more reliably. can do.

(According to claim 10) stereoscopic sound from the speakers 4, 4 and the stereophonic sound generator 5, ..., Video displayed in the physical space R on the video device 3, various functions of the chair 2, etc. One or more of the above combinations are automatically controlled by the control device configured to operate on the exchangeable storage medium (PC card), so that a large number of workers are required. It does not have to be done (that is, labor costs are not required).

Further, since the size of the storage medium is a credit card size, this storage medium is convenient to carry. Then, if a plurality of different types of storage media are prepared in advance, the effect (scene) in the physical space R can be easily changed only by exchanging the storage media. Therefore, the virtual experience room of the present invention allows the spectators 17 ... to experience different pseudo-spaces (not always the same pattern) each time, which can further arouse the spectators 17 ... .
