  • Patent number: 11340736
    Abstract: Provided is an image display method for performing drawing in a display region overlapping at least with a part of an external scene in a state in which the external scene is visible. The image display method images a region including the display region, and extracts an operating object from a captured image in which this region is imaged, as a region of a color of the operating object. In accordance with a size of the region of the color thus extracted, a drawing mode of the operating object is changed, and image display in the display region is controlled in accordance with the changed drawing mode. As the control of the image display, for example, performing drawing, and moving or replicating a drawn image is assumed.
