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. A behavior that is natural in real space can be represented by moving a line of sight to a front direction of the trunk on a space in a state where the line of sight does not match the front direction of the trunk. An unnatural UI that goes straight to the line-of-sight direction is prevented regardless of orientation of the trunk.

Abstract: [Object] To readily detect a position of a head of a user using an inexpensive sensor. [Solution] Change of the position of the head accompanied by viewpoint movement of the sitting user is accompanied by rotation movement of the head. Therefore, posture of the head of the user is obtained by integrating angular velocity detected by a gyro sensor worn on the head, and the posture of the head of the user is converted into a position of a head on a user coordinate system assuming that the head moves on a spherical surface having a radius of an arm length r around a waist position of the user. By adding the obtained change of the position in a head coordinate system to a position in a camera set at an application side which renders an image, motion parallax is presented.
