Abstract: The image processing apparatus acquires image data to be displayed and generates an initial image to output the image to a head-mounted display. Further, the apparatus generates a reference image including an image for a left eye and an image for a right eye and representing an image of an object viewed from two viewpoints spaced apart horizontally. In the case where the inclination angle of the head of the user is other than 0 degrees, the apparatus rotates the image for the left eye and the image for the right eye in reverse to the head inclination, using one point defined on a view screen, as a common axis. The apparatus outputs the image data to the head-mounted display regardless of the presence or absence of rotation. The apparatus repeats the processes until the display ends.
