Abstract: With respect to a video display apparatus, a technology capable of improving the operability and usability for a user in relation to a generated image such as AR (Augmented Reality) is provided. An HMD as a video display apparatus displays an AR image on a display screen, configures an ID image including identification information (ID) for supporting an operation of a user to the AR image, detects a sight line direction of the user to set a sight line region, and displays the ID image so as to be associated with the AR image when the AR image falls within a range of the sight line region. The HMD receives an operation to select the ID image from the user, selects the AR image associated with the ID image when receiving the operation to select the ID image, and executes a predetermined process associated with the AR image.

Abstract: An information display device comprises a communication device connected to a communication network; a display; and a processor connected to each of the communication device and the display. The processor is configured to: calculate an information fake level indicating a level of credibility of display information received by the communication device via the communication network and displayed on the display based on a characteristic relating to the credibility on the display information; calculate a user-specific fake level coefficient indicating a level in which a user who operates the information display device is able to judge accuracy of the credibility of the display information based on an index representing how the user tends to judge the credibility; correct the information fake level using the user-specific fake level coefficient to calculate a user-specific fake level; and display the user-specific fake level on the display.
