Abstract: [Object] To provide an image display system that displays an image with a wide field of view while reducing VR sickness. [Solution] When a field of view FOVO of an original image provided by an image output device (200) is greater than a field of view FOVD of an image viewed by a user wearing an image display device (300), the image output device (200) cuts out a region with the field of view FOVD from the original image for delivery to the image display device (300). Also, when the field of view FOVO of the image viewed by the user wearing the image display device (300) is equal to or greater than the field of view FOVD of the original image provided by the image output device (200), the image output device (200) delivers the original image as-is to the image display device (300).

Abstract: Provided is an image display device configured to display a free viewpoint image that tracks a movement of observer's head and trunk. The line-of-sight direction and trunk orientation of the user are individually oriented in a free viewpoint space displayed on a display device 500 based on posture information of the user's head and trunk, which are respectively obtained from a head motion tracking device 200 and a trunk motion tracking device 300.

View point positions (camera positions) of video cameras 101 to 106 are radially arranged at predetermined angular intervals on a horizontal concentric circle about a vertical reference axis that passes a predetermined reference point. The video cameras are fixed in such a manner that camera principal-axis directions of the video cameras are individually directed outward and upward from a horizontal plane by a predetermined elevation angle Tvu, with the result that upper end portions of a vertical angle of view overlap. Therefore, photographing can be performed uninterruptedly even in an overhead direction without providing a camera that is directed right above.
