  • Patent number: 11341726
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus including a processor configured to detect a connection to each of a first and second image display apparatus, generate a first image based on first medical apparatus information acquired from a first medical apparatus and a second image based on second medical apparatus information acquired from a second medical apparatus, detect an object from an outside scene that is captured by both the first and second image display apparatuses, and acquire a first distance from the first image display apparatus to the object and a second distance from the second image display apparatus to the object. When the first distance is smaller than the second distance, the processor causes the first image display apparatus to display the first image at a first size that is greater than a second size of the first image displayed at the second image display apparatus.
