  • Publication number: 20240013689
    Abstract: A system includes a projector, an HMD, and a control device. A detection unit detects a first range and a second range when a user visually recognizes a first display image through the HMD, the first range being a range of the first display region overlapping with a second display region in which the HMD displays a second display image, the second range being a range of the first display image corresponding to the first range. A generation unit generates the first display image including an object and the second display image including the object. The control device generates the first display image by arranging, at a position within the second range corresponding to a position of the second display region for displaying the object, the object having a display size corresponding to a distance between the first display region and the HMD.
