PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce a user's burden in visually recognizing an object which looks as if it were arranged in front of the user from various angles in a virtual three-dimensional space.SOLUTION: A detection part 42 detect a rotation of a head-mounted display for displaying an image representing how an object looks like from a viewpoint arranged in a virtual three-dimensional space. A display control part 48 performs control so as to display an image which represents how the object looks like from a viewpoint obtained by being rotated relatively to the direction of a detected rotation with the position of a fixation point kept in accordance with the detection of the rotation by the detection part 42.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 9 【課題】仮想３次元空間内においてユーザから見て前方に配置されているように見えるオブジェクトを様々な角度から視覚する際のユーザの負担を軽減する。【解決手段】検出部４２は、仮想３次元空間に配置された視点からオブジェクトを見た様子を表す画像を表示させるヘッドマウントディスプレイの回転を検出する。表示制御部４８は、検出部４２による回転の検出に応じて、注視点の位置が維持されたまま検出された回転の向きに相対的に旋回した視点からオブジェクトを見た様子を表す画像が表示されるよう制御する。【選択図】図９
