Additionally, the generator () generates a streamer video that is a video obtained by synthesizing the object in a mirror image video in which the live video is inverted, and in which the object is synthesized at a mirror image position relative to the synthesis position. A streaming unit () sends the viewer video generated by the generator () to a streaming server for streaming to the viewer terminal. A display) displays the streamer video generated by the generator ().
