Abstract
The present technology relates to an image processing device, an image processing method, and an image provision system that enable simultaneous grasping of an image viewed by a counterpart and a position of the counterpart in a virtual space. An HMD receives a viewpoint image of a user that is an image viewed from a viewpoint of the user in a virtual space, a viewpoint image of another user viewed from a viewpoint of the another user, viewpoint position information indicating a position of the another user, and line-of-sight information indicating a line-of-sight direction of the another user. A display control unit controls display of the viewpoint image of the another user to be superimposed on the viewpoint image of the user on the basis of a positional relationship of the user and the another user in the virtual space determined using the viewpoint position information and the line-of-sight information of the another user. The present technology can be applied to a model room preview system.
