Stage: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize display control of a virtual reality (VR) image that has a smaller sense of discomfort even if a close-range imaging object is included in a case of displaying the VR image on a head mounted display (HMD) using multiple images captured by multiple cameras.SOLUTION: A sight line direction specifying unit specifies a sight line direction which is a direction of a sight line of a user with respect to a virtual reality (VR) space. An image generation unit arranges a plurality of real images captured by multiple cameras having mutually-different imaging directions for imaging the real space within the VR space such that an overlapping region where portions of the visual field areas of the adjacent real images overlap each other is generated, and generates a VR image according to the sight line direction. The image generation unit sets a reference direction in a predetermined direction from a virtual viewpoint, and when the sight line direction crosses the reference direction, dynamically switches the real images displayed in the overlapping region from among the adjacent real images.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 14 (Grant)
