Abstract
This invention is relative to an image information display apparatus in which a large-sized image can readily be recognized even with use of a small-sized display unit such as is provided in a portable telephone set or in a mobile computer. It is assumed that an observer (user)is about to recognize an image of a larger sizeusing an image information display apparatushaving a displayof a smaller size. When the observermoves his or her hand, a partial areaof an image demonstrated in the displayis actively changed. This permits the image of a larger sizeto be comprehended readily in its entirety. The image of a larger sizecan readily be recognized by having the hand movement matched to the movement of the display image (partial areaof the image), based on perceptual characteristics of the human being.
