  • Publication number: 20240087205
    Abstract: There is provided an image display apparatus that makes it possible to automatically orient a front face of a three-dimensional object represented by a three-dimensional image to a user. There are provided: a display unit that displays the three-dimensional image, by which the three-dimensional object appears to exist in a space partitioned by members configuring an outer surface, to be visually recognizable from a plurality of circumferential directions; a direction estimation section that estimates a direction in which a user exists as seen from the display unit; and a display control section that orients a front face of the three-dimensional object displayed by the display unit in the direction in which the user exists estimated by the direction estimation section.

  • Patent number: 11829572
    Abstract: There is provided an image display apparatus that enables an intuitive operation even when a detection target is not able to be inserted into a first space in which a three-dimensional object is visually recognized. A position of a detection target is detected, and a display position of a pointer displayed by a display unit is moved on a basis of a position of the detection target that exists within a second space not overlapping the first space which is a space in which the three-dimensional object is displayed among the position of the detected detection target.
