Abstract: An example information processing device displays a partial area of a panoramic video on a display device. A display range of the panoramic video to be displayed on the display device is determined based on an input made on a predetermined input device. The information processing device accepts an input of additional information for the panoramic video being displayed on the display device. Moreover, input information is stored in a storage unit, the input information including the additional information and input range information with which it is possible to identify a display range when the additional information was accepted and/or a position within the display range. The information processing device outputs the additional information together with the panoramic video based on the input range information when the panoramic video is played with the additional information having been stored.

Abstract: For generating a destination image (a left-eye image) from an original image and a height map thereof, the height of the height map of the original image is compared with the height of the height map of the destination image, and if a pixel of the original image is higher, the pixel of the original image is copied to a pixel of the destination image. After the pixel of the original image is copied to the pixel of the destination image, the height of the pixel of the original image is decremented. The pixel of the original image is copied in the rightward direction to pixels of the destination image until the height of the pixel of the original image becomes 0 or until a height of the pixel of the destination image becomes lower than that of the pixel of the original image. The same processes are performed on each pixel of the original image, and thereby the left-eye image is generated.
