Projector

Abstract

A projector is provided with a projection unit that projects an image on a projection surface; a detection unit that detects the direction of approach of an indication member or of the shadow of the indication member that has approached a detection region including the projection surface; and a controller that controls display gaps of a plurality of icons which is projected on the projection surface based on the projection direction in which the image is projected by the projection unit and the direction of approach which is detected by the detection unit, wherein the controller makes the display gaps when a plurality of the icons are projected along the projection direction wider than the display gaps when a plurality of the icons are projected along a direction which is different from the projection direction of the projection unit.

1 . A projector, comprising:
 a projection unit that projects an image on a projection surface;   a detection unit that detects the direction of approach of an indication member or of the shadow of the indication member that has approached a detection region including the projection surface; and   a controller that controls display gaps of a plurality of icons which is projected on the projection surface based on the projection direction in which the image is projected by the projection unit and the direction of approach which is detected by the detection unit,   wherein the controller makes the display gaps when a plurality of the icons are projected along the projection direction wider than the display gaps when a plurality of the icons are projected along a direction which is different from the projection direction of the projection unit.   
     
     
         2 . The projector according to  claim 1 , wherein the detection unit have an imaging sensor which photographs the projection surface. 
     
     
         3 . The projector according to  claim 1 , comprising an icon memory unit that stores image data of a plurality of the icons. 
     
     
         4 . The projector according to  claim 1 , wherein the projection unit projects a plurality of the icons in a different region from a region in which the image is projected on the projection surface. 
     
     
         5 . The projector according to  claim 1 , wherein the controller controls display sizes of a plurality of the icons based on the projection direction in which the image is projected by the projection unit and the direction of approach which is detected by the detection unit.
