  • Patent number: 11300794
    Abstract: A processor causes a display provided on a Head Mounted Display to display a stereoscopic image to which binocular parallax is applied, the stereoscopic image being an image of a virtual space captured by a virtual camera, and acquire orientation information on an orientation of the Head Mounted Display. When, in the virtual space, a predetermined positional relationship is established between a virtual object that exists in the virtual space and a virtual line that passes through the virtual camera, the virtual line having a direction according to the orientation information, the processor causes to move, based on a change in relative position between the virtual line and the virtual object, a display range of display information to be displayed in the virtual space, the display range being a part of the display information and displayed in the display region provided in the virtual space.
