Abstract
An image generation device generates a look-around screen for allowing a user who wears a head-mounted display to look around a play area. The image generation device generates a map for estimating a position of the user, on the basis of a plurality of camera images obtained by capturing a space around the user in a plurality of directions by a camera of the head-mounted display. In the look-around screen, a predetermined special image is superimposed on an image indicating the play area, and a region which has coincided with the line-of-sight direction of the user in a special image changes a display mode different than before. The special image is set to a space around the head-mounted display and narrower than a maximum range of the play area.
