Abstract: |
The present technology relates to a light-shielding device, a light-shielding method, and a program which make an object that is meant to be invisible to human beings enter a state in which the object is hidden so as to be invisible to eyes, or make an object that is meant to be visible enter a state in which the object is visible to eyes in correspondence with biological information. A light-shielding wall, which partitions two spaces and includes a plurality of panels capable of being controlled to a transmitting state in which light is transmitted or a light-shielding state in which light is shielded, is used as a window, an orientation of a face of a user who is sleeping is detected as biological information, and the light-shielding wall is controlled so that the user is capable of visually recognizing light of which a light source is the sun when it reaches an alarm setting time. According to this, it enters a state in which light of which a light source is the sun that is meant to be visible is visible to eyes, and thus it is possible to encourage the user to comfortably wake up. The present disclosure is applicable to the light-shielding wall. |
