Methods and/or apparatus provide for acquiring a first image obtained by imaging an event taking place in a real space; generating a display image by merging the first image into a second image representing a virtual space that establishes an alternative version by: (i) reproducing real elements that are a focus of the event, (ii) omitting real peripheral elements, and (iii) presenting alternative virtual elements, such that the first image has an inconspicuous border when the display image is presented to a user.

Information processing system, information processing method, and computer program

An information processing apparatus acquires a first image obtained by imaging a real space. The information processing apparatus generates a display image by merging the first image into a second image representing a virtual space to be presented to a user wearing a head-mounted display (HMD), the display image being configured such that the first image has an inconspicuous border. The information processing apparatus displays the generated display image on the HMD.

Provided is a video display system including: an apparatus of a first user having a viewing right to a given video; a second user apparatus; and a display control section, in which the first user apparatus sends an invitation for viewing of the video to the second user apparatus, the second user apparatus causes the video viewing invitation to be displayed, and the display control section causes the second user apparatus to initiate display of the video synchronously with causing the first user apparatus to initiate the display of the video in a case where the second user has a viewing right to the video and in a case where manipulation for accepting the invitation is input to the second user apparatus.
