Abstract

A motion detection sectiondetects the posture of an HMD worn on the head of a user. A status determination sectiondetermines a user's gaze direction and a binocular inclination angle in accordance with the detected posture of the HMD. The binocular inclination angle is the angle between a horizontal plane and a line connecting the left and right eyes of the user. An image identification sectiondetermines two images for use in the generation of left- and right-eye parallax images from a plurality of viewpoint images stored in an image storage devicein accordance with the user's gaze direction and the binocular inclination angle. An image generation sectiongenerates left- and right-eye parallax images from the two identified images. An image supply sectionsupplies the generated parallax images to the HMD.
