Abstract

There is provided an image display apparatus that makes it possible to automatically orient a front face of a three-dimensional object represented by a three-dimensional image to a user. There are provided: a display unit that displays the three-dimensional image, by which the three-dimensional object appears to exist in a space partitioned by members configuring an outer surface, to be visually recognizable from a plurality of circumferential directions; a direction estimation section that estimates a direction in which a user exists as seen from the display unit; and a display control section that orients a front face of the three-dimensional object displayed by the display unit in the direction in which the user exists estimated by the direction estimation section.
