Abstract: An image following a movement of a head of a user who observes an image is generated. At a drawing device 300, posture angle data to be received at a certain time after a time series of posture angle data that have already been received are predicted, and rendering processing is performed on an image based on the predicted posture angle data. A prediction algorithm for the posture angle data is roughly divided into two steps: (1) estimating a predicted time to receive the posture angle data; and (2) predicting the posture angle data at the predicted time. By rendering the image at the predicted time from the predicted posture angle data, a sense of delay felt when the image following the movement of the head of the user is presented is reduced.

Abstract: To appropriately prevent a burn-in phenomenon when a still image such as an OSD screen is displayed on a display panel. When a menu screen is displayed on a video screen in a superimposed manner, a menu phrase in at least one of a left-eye video and a right-eye video is deleted on a menu background area. A time period in which a brightness difference between still pixels in a boundary between a menu background area and a menu phrase remains large is reduced, and thus the occurrence of the burn-in phenomenon can be prevented. However, the menu background area is constantly displayed without being deleted, so that screen flickering does not occur.
