[0013]
[Action]
The game apparatus according to the present invention is a game apparatus in which a whole or a part of the game apparatus is formed by a cylindrical passage, and is slid down or traveled by a cart. The light emitting device that radiates divergent light radially in one direction An inlet that is installed outside the passage and introduces the divergent light from the light emitting device into the cylindrical passage is formed in the upper portion of the cylindrical passage, and the diffuser from the light emitting device is located in the vicinity of the inlet. A filter that disperses light into two-way divergent light (reflected light and transmitted light) in the cylindrical passage is installed, so that a limited cylindrical space can be effectively used by using one light emitting device and one inlet. Utilizing it efficiently projects into the cylindrical passage.
[0014]
Since the filter reflects part of the diverging light and transmits and disperses part of the diverging light, it can efficiently irradiate the diverging light emitted using only one light source in two directions. This dispersed divergent light illuminates the passing player with the same pattern of light on the front and rear spaces, the left and right wall surfaces, or the front and rear spaces at the same time. Make you feel sex.
[0015]
The light emitting device does not protrude into the passage and does not cause a worry of touching the head of the player who is passing, can be used widely in the passage and improves the visibility in the passage. Since divergent light from the light emitting device is introduced from the inlet, it can be irradiated over a wide area from the vicinity of the wall surface. Further, the light emitting device can be mounted from the outside of the passage, so that the mounting work is easy and maintenance adjustment and the like are easy. The light emitting device can be installed without obstructing the player's traffic. There is no discomfort for the player who passes through the sound and heat of the light emitting device in the passage. On the contrary, moisture, dust, etc. in the passage are not applied to the light emitting device, and the durability of the optical apparatus is not hindered.
[0016]
In addition, a filter that diverges reflected light in a predetermined direction of either the entry direction or the advance direction of the player in the cylindrical passage is disposed, and the transmitted light of the filter is reflected with respect to the reflected light of the filter. Since a mirror that reflects in the symmetric direction is provided, one of the reflected light reflected by the filter diverges in the player's entry direction and irradiates from the front of the player to give a feeling of pressure. The other transmitted light that has been reflected diverges in the player's advance direction and irradiates from behind the player, giving a sense of freedom. Players passing through this time experience a sense of realism, such as a sense of speed and passing through a cave. Further, the transmitted light of the filter can be divided into the symmetrical direction more accurately and efficiently with respect to the reflected light of the filter by providing a mirror. The filter and mirror are light and small and can be easily installed so that they do not protrude too much into the passage.
[0017]
In addition, since the light-emitting device is provided with a patterned filter for projecting a light pattern in two directions of reflected light and transmitted light on the inner wall surface in the cylindrical passage, various patterns are formed on the inner wall surface with curvature. The angle of incidence is changed and the image is viewed with further changes. Also, the projected pattern changes depending on the player's position and passing speed. Moreover, it is surrounded by the pattern projected in the dark, and it is possible to generate a feeling of being sucked or dropped more than the actual speed.
[0018]
Furthermore , smoke that receives light in two directions , reflected light and transmitted light , is introduced into the cylindrical passage, so that smoke drifting in the passage can be seen from both symmetrical directions of the player's entry direction and advance direction. Receiving divergent light and letting you pass through a deeper zone. In addition, the smoke is irradiated with various patterns of divergent light, giving you the feeling of going through the screen that appears to be blocked. Smoke drifts and disappears in the passage in the passage, or changes every moment as the player passes, causing further changes. Smoke can be efficiently generated and drifted at the location where the player passes.
[0019]
In addition , when a loop part is provided in the cylindrical passage, the passage can be efficiently darkened at a short distance. The divergent light is efficiently transmitted to the predetermined range, and the divergent light, the pattern and the smoke can be efficiently produced within the predetermined range. Since the wall surface of the loop portion is in front of the visual field in the player's direction of travel, it can be used efficiently as a screen for irradiating divergent light and patterns. In addition, smoke does not flow out monotonously in one direction, and the smoke concentration can be kept high in the loop portion and kept floating for an appropriate long time, so that smoke loss can be prevented and effectively utilized.
