水中対応型頭部搭載型ディスプレイを用いたスキューバダイビング訓練システムの基礎的検討

―水中HMDの設計および実装―

We propose a training system of scuba diving using head mounted display underwater. This system has two functions. One is high immersion using underwater head mounted display (UHMD). The other one is to reproduce buoyancy change according to water depth. For these function, user can learn how to control buoyancy under various situations with high reality. This paper describes about design and implementation of UHMD system, which can withstand water pressure. The results showed that water resistant performance of our UHMD system is enough for use at a depth of about 4 meters, and this system has a possibility to present various depth of water regardless of actual depth.
