  • Publication number: 20250071244
    Abstract: A stereo camera of a head-mounted display photographs left-viewpoint and right-viewpoint photographed images and the like at a frame rate of 1/?t as depicted in (a). By using either one of the left-viewpoint and right-viewpoint photographed images, a display control device alternately generates a left-eye or right-eye display image (display image, for example) for each frame at a rate equal to the frame rate used in photographing, and displays the generated display image in a corresponding region of a display panel while not displaying any image in the other region, as depicted in (c).
