  • Publication number: 20230319237
    Abstract: An information processing system includes an HMD and a management server. The HMD includes a display unit of a transmissive type worn on a head of a user and a detection unit that detects motion of an eye of the user. The management server includes an identification unit that identifies a target object in a real space at which the user gazes through the display unit, based on the motion of the eye of the user, and an imaging control unit that causes a first imaging device of imaging devices to capture an image of a first imaging range including a first part of the target object, the first imaging device being at a position from which an image of the first part is capturable. The HMD causes the display unit to display a first captured image captured by the first imaging device.
