  • Publication number: 20230364511
    Abstract: An example of an image display system includes a goggle apparatus including a display section. A virtual camera and a user interface are placed in a virtual space. In accordance with the orientation of the goggle apparatus, the orientation of the virtual camera in the virtual space is controlled. For example, in a case where the line of sight of the virtual camera rotates in a left direction in a yaw direction and then reverses in a right direction, and when the amount of change in the right direction is greater than or equal to a threshold, the user interface is moved to the front of the virtual camera.

  • Patent number: 9582162
    Abstract: A non-limiting example game system includes an information processing apparatus that functions as a game apparatus to which a terminal device and a television are connected. A game screen is displayed on the television and an item screen is displayed on an LCD of the terminal device, for example. If a player touches-on an item in the item screen and drags the item onto an assigning image, and then, performs a touch-off, the item is assigned to an operating button corresponding to the assigning image. When an item is touched-on, images corresponding to the item and the assigning image are displayed on the game screen in a superposed manner.

  • Patent number: 9167231
    Abstract: A first temporary taken image taken by a first imaging section of a stereo imaging section, and a second temporary taken image taken by a second imaging section of the stereo imaging section are displayed on a display section. A user aligns the display position of the first temporary taken image with the display position of the second temporary taken image, by moving the first temporary taken image displayed on the display section. Based on the result of the movement, the display positions of two images composing a stereo image taken with the stereo camera are corrected, and the stereo image is displayed on the display section in a stereoscopically visible manner.
