Abstract

L'invention a trait à un visiocasque comportant : des unités d'affichage (15, 16) prévues pour afficher une image ; une unité de commutation (6) conçue pour que le visiocasque passe d'un état à l'autre entre un état d'affichage destiné à afficher une image sur lesdites unités d'affichage (15, 16) et un état de non-affichage destiné à ne pas afficher d'image sur lesdites unités d'affichage (15, 16) ; des unités de réglage de luminosité (13, 14) permettant de régler la luminosité de l'image affichée sur les unités d'affichage (15, 16) ; et un détecteur de lumière externe (5) servant à détecter l'intensité de la lumière externe. Lorsque l'unité de commutation (6) fait passer le visiocasque de l'état de non-affichage à l'état d'affichage, les unités de réglage de luminosité (13, 14) règlent l'ampleur du changement de la luminosité par unité de temps afin d'augmenter la luminosité de l'image et passer de la luminosité des unités d'affichage (15, 16) dans l'état de non-affichage à la luminosité de l'image affichée sur les unités d'affichage (15, 16) dans l'état d'affichage, le réglage étant réalisé en fonction de l'intensité de la lumière externe détectée par le détecteur de lumière externe (5).
