A display control method for execution by a system including a head-mounted device. The display control method includes generating virtual space data for defining a three-dimensional virtual space. The display control method further includes displaying a visual-field image on the head-mounted device based on a visual field of the virtual space data. The display control method further includes updating the visual-field image in response to a detected movement of the head-mounted device exceeding a threshold. Updating the visual-field image includes changing a scale of an object in the virtual space by adjusting an angular range of the visual-field image.

Display control method and system for executing the display control method

A method includes generating a visual field image to be visually recognized by a user within a virtual space image, the virtual space image forming a virtual space within which the user is immersed. The method also includes generating a transitional image to be visually recognized by the user during a transitional period, the visual field image being updated during the transitional period. The method further includes displaying the visual field image and the transitional image using a head mounted display. Generating the transitional image includes one or more of updating the visual field image in synchronization with a movement of the head mounted display; or updating the visual field image without synchronization with the movement of the head mounted display by generating a transitional image having a reduced information amount to be visually recognized by the user.

Method and apparatus for changing a field of view without synchronization with movement of a head-mounted display

An avatar displaying system capable of selectively sharing user posture information from a first terminal to a second terminal. The first terminal includes a user posture detecting unit configured to detect user posture information. The first terminal further includes a sharing permission/prohibition determining unit configured to determine whether or not to share the user posture information of the first user with the second user. The first terminal further includes a transmission unit configured to transmit the user posture information of the first user to the second terminal in response to a determination to share the user posture information of the first user with the second user. A second terminal includes an image generating unit configured to generate the avatar image representing the first user based on the user posture information of the first user. The second terminal further includes a display unit configured to display the avatar image.
