Abstract: A condition information acquisition section of an image generation device acquires a condition of communication and condition information of a head-mounted display. An image generation section generates a display image including distorted images for a left eye and a right eye. A reduction processing section converts the display image to data in which different regions have different reduction ratios in accordance with the condition of communication, etc., and transmits the data through an output section. An image size restoration section of the head-mounted display restores the transmitted data to the display image in an original size to cause the display image to be displayed by a display section.

Abstract: An image generation apparatus increases an adjustment amount of a luminance distribution to a target value B at a time t0 at which an amount of light entering the eyes of a user changes to such a degree that the change has an influence on an action of photoreceptor cells, to thereby cause a head-mounted display to display an image 310b having a luminance increased from that of an original image 310a. The image generation apparatus gradually decreases the adjustment amount of the luminance distribution during a restoration period ?t in such a manner that an image 310c having the original luminance distribution is displayed at a later time t1.

The parameter is stored in a conversion parameter storage section after the adjustment and is used when a luminance signal conversion section performs conversion processing.
