Abstract: A display control apparatus for controlling display of a display device that a user can wear acquires speech collected by a plurality of microphones, estimates a sound-arrival direction of the acquired speech, and generates a text image corresponding to the acquired speech. The display control apparatus determines an adjustment amount of a display position of the text image on the display unit of the display device based on a detection result of at least one of an operation by the user and a state of the display device. Then, the display control apparatus displays the generated text image at a display position in the display unit, the display position being determined in accordance with the estimated sound-arrival direction and the determined adjustment amount.

Abstract: Facilitating reconstruction of a party after a game over to avoid wasted time required for gathering members of a party. Moreover, a user may quickly reconstruct (gather) a party to improve the real thrill of an on-line game. Accordingly, an on-line game system allows a user of the game to select and display resurrection points of other characters included within the party. Since resurrection points of other characters included within the party can be selected and restored, wasted time required for gathering with each other around one location for the purpose of reconstructing a party can be avoided. Thus, it is possible to quickly gather the party.
