Patent number: 11176911Abstract: There is provided an information processing apparatus capable of displaying an image properly even if an orientation of a display device is rapidly changed, an information processing method, a program, and a head-mounted display. An information processing apparatus for controlling a display section configured to be capable of displaying an image in a displayable area preset in a space by a sequential scanning method includes a setting section and a determination section. The setting section sets the displayable area so as to remain at a certain position in the space. The determination section acquires information about a posture of the display section, calculates a moving direction of the displayable area as viewed from the display section along with a change in the posture of the display section, and determines a main scanning direction of the display section in a direction opposite to the moving direction.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2019Date of Patent: November 16, 2021Assignee: SONY CORPORATIONInventors: Mitsuru Nishibe, Atsushi Ishihara, Hiroyuki Aga, Koichi Kawasaki, Takuya Ikeda
