Description

Description Simulated experience device and simulated experience method <Technical field>

The present invention relates to an experiment apparatus and a method for simulating a simulated experience by giving a human a shaking according to an image.

In recent years, research and development of virtual reality technology has been actively conducted for the multimedia industry. Virtual reality is a technology that gives the illusion of being at a remote location with video and audio, etc., and is being used in various fields such as games, music, and movies.

This simulated experience device using virtual reality technology can create a simulated experience for humans by playing software created to resemble movement, vibration, video, and sound that you would actually experience. It is provided safely many times. However, the software used in such a simulated experience device appeals to human sensibilities and requires specialized know-how to create it, making it difficult to create.

In order to reduce the man-hour and increase versatility in software development for virtual experience, the following virtual experience device (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-153949) was developed. ing.

The simulated experience device disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-153,499 corresponds to a motion video detecting means for detecting a motion video which is a motion of a video from a video signal, and a motion video from an audio signal. Voice detection means for detecting voice, motion detection means for detecting the motion of the user, motion generation means for generating respective motion signals from the motion video, voice and the motion of the user, and experience based on the motion signal On which the person is on board And a reproduction effect control means for controlling a reproduction effect of a video signal and an audio signal from the movement of the user.

With this configuration, motion drive control is performed based on actual measurement values such as motion video, audio, and the movement of the user instead of software data dedicated to motion drive. Versatility can be improved because it does not rely on software.

However, simply controlling the motion drive of the vehicle based on the motion of the video does not provide realistic motion.

In other words, in order for the user (passenger) to feel as if it is moving, it can be obtained not by the movement of the subject in the center or the center of the image, but by the movement of the scenery such as the surrounding part or the background. It is known (see the Journal of the Institute of Television Engineers of Japan, Vol. 1.5, No. 4, pp. 429-435 (1996), "Reaction between Images and the Body"). Therefore, simply controlling the motion drive according to the movement of the video does not always give the user a sense of realism.

Also, if the stimulus is continuously given to the user, the user will become accustomed to the stimulus, and the sense of realism will diminish. Furthermore, there is a limit to the driving range of the vehicle, and if you try to drive further after driving to that limit, you will not be able to drive, and there is a possibility that the user will not be stimulated.

This is an operation signal generation unit for generating.

The operation of the swing control means 6 will be described. First, the classification unit 61 classifies the motion vector for each small area detected by the motion vector detection unit 5 into a central part of one screen, a peripheral part of the central part, and a lower part of the screen.

If the average peripheral motion vector calculated by the peripheral average motion vector calculating unit 62 is smaller than the first predetermined value, the peripheral motion determining unit 65 instructs the central motion determining unit 66 to determine. Put out. If the average motion vector of the surrounding area calculated by the average motion vector of the surrounding area 62 is equal to or larger than the first predetermined value, the surrounding motion determination section 65 determines the average motion vector of the surrounding area. The average motion vector of the surroundings calculated by the vector calculation unit 62 is sent to the operation signal generation unit 69. The motion signal generation unit 69 generates a motion signal based on the average motion vector of the peripheral part calculated by the peripheral average motion vector calculation unit 62.

When the average motion vector at the center calculated by the average motion vector calculation unit at the center 63 is equal to or greater than the second predetermined value, the center motion determination unit 66 determines the average motion vector at the center. The average motion vector at the center calculated by the calculator 63 is sent to the motion signal generator 69. The motion signal generator 69 generates a motion signal based on the average motion vector of the center calculated by the average motion vector calculator 63 of the center.

When receiving a determination instruction from the central motion determining unit 66, the lower motion determining unit 67 determines the average motion vector at the lower part of the screen calculated by the lower average motion vector calculating unit 64 as a third predetermined value. It is determined whether the value is smaller than the value. If the average motion vector at the bottom of the screen calculated by the lower average motion vector calculation unit 64 is smaller than the third predetermined value, the lower motion determination unit 67 issues an operation instruction to the unrelated motion generation unit 68. .

The average motion vector at the bottom of the screen calculated by the lower average motion vector calculator 6 4 is If it is equal to or more than the third predetermined value, the lower motion determining unit 67 sends the average motion vector at the lower part of the screen calculated by the lower average motion vector calculating unit 64 to the motion signal generating unit 69 .

1 1 is an effect control means for controlling the drive of the effect device in accordance with the motion signal from the swing control means 6, and 1 2 is for outputting the sound accompanying the video from the video supply source 1 to the speech force 13 In order to further enhance the sense of reality for the rider 9 riding on the ride means 7, the sound output means 14 sends air to the rider according to the control signal from the effect control means 11, that is, the movement of the image. Blower means for controlling, 15 is a sound image control means for controlling the sound image of the sound outputted from the speaker 13 according to the control signal from the effect control means 11, and 16 is a control signal from the effect control means 11 This is a lighting method that irradiates the user with light and enhances the sense of reality.

It gives a sense of realism and gives a stimulus that enhances it, so rocking control means 6, ride means 7, rocking means 8, effect control means 11, speaker 13 and blowing means 14 and sound image control means 15 and the writing means 16 correspond to the pseudo effect means of the present invention.

Figure 3 shows the operation of the virtual experience device.

First, the image capturing means 2 captures an image from the image supply source 1 (step S 1). The motion vector detecting means 5 detects a motion vector for each small area from the video captured in step S1 (step S2). Oscillation control means 6 detects in step S2 The motion vector for each of the small areas is fetched, and the classification unit 61 classifies the motion vector for each of the small areas into the center of the image, the periphery of the center, and the bottom of the screen (step S3). . The average motion vector of the surrounding area is calculated by the average motion vector calculating section 62 of the surrounding area (step S4). The central portion average motion vector is calculated by the central portion average motion vector calculation section 63 (step S5). The average motion vector at the bottom of the screen is calculated by the lower average motion vector calculation unit 64 (step S6).

The peripheral motion determining section 65 determines whether the average motion vector of the peripheral portion is smaller than a first predetermined value (step S7). If the average movement vector of the surrounding area is equal to or larger than the first predetermined value, the process proceeds to step S8. In step S8, the motion signal generation unit 69 generates a motion signal based on the average motion vector of the surrounding area, and the swing unit 8 controls the ride unit 7 based on the motion signal. Rock it. If it is determined in step S7 that the average motion vector of the peripheral portion is smaller than the first predetermined value, it is determined whether the average motion vector of the central portion is smaller than the second predetermined value. The determination unit 66 determines (step S9).

If the average motion vector at the center is equal to or greater than the second predetermined value, the process proceeds to step S10. In step S10, the motion signal generator 69 generates a motion signal based on the average motion vector in the center, and the rocking means 8 rides on the rocking means 8 based on the motion signal. Swing means 7

If it is determined in step S9 that the average motion vector at the center is smaller than the second predetermined value, it is determined whether the motion vector at the bottom of the screen is smaller than the third predetermined value. Is determined (step S11).

If the motion vector at the bottom of the screen is equal to or greater than the third predetermined value, the process proceeds to step S12. In step S12, the motion signal generator 69 generates a motion signal based on the average motion vector at the bottom of the screen, and the rocking means 8 turns the rocking means 8 based on the motion signal. Swing the ride means 7.

In step S11, when it is determined that the average motion vector at the bottom of the screen is smaller than the third predetermined value, the periodic shaking is performed via the rocking means 8 regardless of the image. The motion vector to be given to the ride means 7 is generated by the unrelated motion generator 68 (step S13). In this case, the motion signal generator 69 generates a motion signal according to the motion vector generated by the irrelevant motion generator 68, and the rocking means 8 rides based on the motion signal. Swing means 7

In the steps S8, S10, S12, and S13, the motion signal generated by the operation signal generator 69 is also sent to the effect controller 11. The effect control means 11 controls the blowing means 14, the sound image control means 15, and the lie and means 16 in accordance with the motion signal in order to enhance the sense of reality given to the rider on the ride means 7.

FIG. 4 shows a processing procedure of the operation signal generation unit 69 of the swing control means 6 in the above step S8, step S10, step S12, and step S13. The operation signal generation unit 69 basically includes a swing unit that swings the ride unit 7 in accordance with the direction and size of the average movement vector input to the operation signal generation unit 69. 8 is operated (step S27). For example, if the image tilts to the right, the ride means 7 is tilted to the right.

However, as will be described later, when the motion of the image changes suddenly, when the inclination of the ride means 7 is maintained in the same state for a predetermined time, or when the inclination of the ride means 7 in the front, rear, left and right directions is at the limit position (the maximum inclination) In the case of (position), the operation signal generator 69 performs exceptional control.

In step S20, the motion signal generation unit 69 determines whether or not the motion of the video has rapidly increased based on the average motion vector input to the motion signal generation unit 69. If it is determined that the motion of the video has rapidly increased, the process proceeds to step S21. If it is determined that the motion of the video has not rapidly increased, the process proceeds to step S23.

In step S21, the swing means 8 is controlled so as to slightly drive the ride means 7 in the direction opposite to the direction of the average motion vector input to the operation signal generation section 69. Here, “slightly” means, for example, the magnitude of the average motion vector input to the motion signal generator 69. The size is ι Ζ ΐ o.

Next, in step S22, the magnitude of the slight motion of step S21 in the direction of the average motion vector input to the motion signal generation unit 69 and the magnitude of the average motion vector is determined. The rocking means 8 is operated to rock the riding means 7 according to the magnitude of the added movement.

In other words, when the movement of the image changes suddenly, the rider 7 is swung in the opposite direction to the movement of the image, in order to give the user more effects such as surprise and presence, and then the movement of the image The ride means 7 is moved in the same direction.

In step S23, it is determined whether or not the riding means 7 is tilted from the center position to any of the front, rear, left and right positions. If it is determined that it is tilted, the process proceeds to step S24. If it is determined that it is not tilted, the process proceeds to step S27.

In step S24, it is determined whether or not the inclination of the riding means 7 is kept the same for a predetermined time. If it is determined that the predetermined time is maintained, the process proceeds to step S26. If it is determined that the predetermined time is not maintained, the process proceeds to step S25. In step S26, if the ride means 7 maintains the same inclined state, the user 9 is often accustomed to the experience of that state, so the ride means 7 is gradually moved to the center position. The swinging means 8 is controlled to return.

In step S25, it is determined whether the inclination of the ride means 7 in the front-rear, left-right direction is the limit position (maximum inclination position). If the inclination of the ride means 7 in the front-rear and left-right directions is at the limit position (maximum inclination position), the process proceeds to step S26. If not, the process proceeds to step S27.

In step S26, if the ride means 7 is at the limit position, it cannot be moved even if there is further movement of the image, so the swing means 8 is controlled so that the ride means 7 is gradually returned to the center position.

In step S27, the swing means 8 is operated so as to swing the ride means 7 in accordance with the direction and the magnitude of the average motion vector input to the operation signal generation section 69. By repeating steps S1 to S13 and steps S20 to S27 each time an image is captured in step S1, the experienced person 9 can experience the experience.
