  • Publication number: 20230364511
    Abstract: An example of an image display system includes a goggle apparatus including a display section. A virtual camera and a user interface are placed in a virtual space. In accordance with the orientation of the goggle apparatus, the orientation of the virtual camera in the virtual space is controlled. For example, in a case where the line of sight of the virtual camera rotates in a left direction in a yaw direction and then reverses in a right direction, and when the amount of change in the right direction is greater than or equal to a threshold, the user interface is moved to the front of the virtual camera.
