Abstract: A graphics processing apparatus performs an intermediate processing pass in which region lists that indicate geometry for respective regions of an intermediate projection surface are generated and stored. A subsequent processing pass is then performed in which a region of the intermediate projection surface is selected using a vector for a fragment, and geometry data for shading the fragment is obtained with reference to the region list that was stored for the selected region in the intermediate processing pass. The fragment can then be shaded using the obtained data for the geometry. The apparatus can provide a render output that is not limited by the resolution of an intermediate render output.

Finally, the system displays the set of geographic regions in a manner that indicates a number of data points that fall into each geographic region.

Abstract: An image following a movement of a head of a user who observes an image is generated. At a drawing device 300, posture angle data to be received at a certain time after a time series of posture angle data that have already been received are predicted, and rendering processing is performed on an image based on the predicted posture angle data. A prediction algorithm for the posture angle data is roughly divided into two steps: (1) estimating a predicted time to receive the posture angle data; and (2) predicting the posture angle data at the predicted time. By rendering the image at the predicted time from the predicted posture angle data, a sense of delay felt when the image following the movement of the head of the user is presented is reduced.
