Description

  The present invention generally relates to a 3D viewer used by being attached to a smartphone. More specifically, the present invention relates to a 3D viewer for smartphones with good operability.

  Smartphones in which a mobile phone and a portable information terminal are integrated are widely used because they have various functions such as a network function and an information management function in addition to a communication function. The smartphone is basically operated by a user touching the display with a finger.

  On the other hand, various apparatuses for viewing a planar image displayed on a display in three dimensions have been developed.

  However, since the smartphone is operated by touching the display, when a conventional stereoscopic image acquisition device is attached to the smartphone, there is a disadvantage that access to the display is hindered and operability is impaired.

  This invention is developed in view of such a situation, Comprising: It aims at providing the 3D viewer for smart phones which has favorable operativity.

  The 3D viewer for smartphones according to claim 1 of the present invention has a vertical member attached to the edge of the smartphone and a vertical member from the upper end of the vertical member so as to be substantially parallel to the smartphone display at a predetermined interval. A horizontal member extending in one direction and a pair of stereoscopic lenses arranged on the horizontal member are provided.

  The 3D viewer for a smartphone according to claim 2 of the present application is the 3D viewer of claim 1, wherein the horizontal member is rotatably connected to the vertical member.

  The 3D viewer for a smartphone according to claim 3 of the present application is the 3D viewer according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the vertical member is turned around its lower end, and the horizontal member is moved from a position above the display. It is comprised so that it may be comprised.

  According to the 3D viewer for smartphones of the present invention, since the display can be approached from three directions except for the direction in which the vertical member is positioned, the smartphone can be easily operated. Moreover, the 3D viewer for smartphones of the present invention can be folded and carried by connecting the horizontal member and the vertical member rotatably. Furthermore, by configuring the vertical member to pivot about its lower end, it becomes easier to operate when taking a picture with a smartphone. Since the 3D viewer for smartphones of the present invention has a simple structure, it can be provided at low cost.

  Next, a smartphone 3D viewer according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state in which a smartphone 3D viewer according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is attached to a smartphone S. FIG. In FIG. 1, D indicates the display of the smartphone S.

  A smartphone 3D viewer according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention generally indicated by reference numeral 10 in FIG. 1 has a lower end 12a attached to the edge of the smartphone S so as to be substantially orthogonal to the display D of the smartphone S. A vertical member 12 is provided.

  The vertical member 12 is attached to the vertical member 12 by fitting a protrusion (not shown) provided on the lower end 12a of the vertical member 12 into a recess (not shown) provided on the edge of the smartphone S, for example. ing.

  The smartphone 3D viewer 10 also includes a horizontal member 14 extending in one direction from the upper end 12b of the vertical member 12 so as to be substantially parallel to the display D of the smartphone S at a predetermined interval.

  A pair of stereoscopic lenses 16 is arranged on the horizontal member 14. Preferably, the horizontal member 14 is provided with a nose dimple 14a where the nose hits when the user of the smartphone S looks into the stereoscopic lens 16. A known lens is used as the stereoscopic lens 16 itself.

  The vertical member 12 and the horizontal member 14 are preferably formed integrally with a synthetic resin material such as plastic. In addition, if the horizontal member 14 can be arrange | positioned so that it may become substantially parallel with respect to the display D of smart phone S, as shown in FIG. There is no problem.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a state in which the smartphone 3D viewer 10 is being operated. As shown in FIG. 4, since the display D can be approached from three directions except for the direction in which the vertical member 12 is located, the smartphone S can be easily operated.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a modification of the smartphone 3D viewer 10. In the smartphone 3D viewer 10 shown in FIG. 5, the vertical member 12 and the horizontal member 14 are formed separately and are rotatably connected by a hinge 18. By comprising in this way, when the smart phone S is removed, the smart phone 3D viewer 10 can be folded and carried compactly.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating another modification of the smartphone 3D viewer 10. The smartphone 3D viewer 10 shown in FIG. 6 is configured such that the vertical member 12 can turn around its lower end. By configuring in this way, it becomes easy to operate when taking a picture with the smartphone S. For example, the swivelable structure is formed by adopting a method such as fitting a projection (not shown) provided at the lower end of the vertical member 12 into a recess (not shown) provided at the edge of the smartphone S. Can be realized.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the invention described in the claims, and these are also included in the scope of the present invention. Needless to say, it is something.

  For example, the dimensions and shapes of the vertical member 12, the horizontal member 14, and the stereoscopic lens 16 shown in the accompanying drawings are merely illustrative, and dimensions and shapes other than those illustrated may be employed.

It is the perspective view which showed the state with which the 3D viewer for smart phones which concerns on preferable embodiment of this invention is mounted | worn with the smart phone. It is a front view of FIG. It is a top view of FIG. It is the perspective view which showed the state which is operating the 3D viewer for smart phones of FIG. It is the perspective view which showed the deformation | transformation form of 3D viewer for smart phones. It is the perspective view which showed another modification of the 3D viewer for smart phones.
