Abstract:
Combined use of a recommended viewpoint and a free viewpoint is achieved without display of a position of the recommended viewpoint using a frame or the like.
A detection unit detects a viewpoint position change instruction. An output unit outputs a part of an image to a display unit. In this case, an output range (an image range corresponding to a current viewpoint) is changed according to a viewpoint position change unit instruction after output of a recommended range such that the output range transits in a direction toward the recommended range on the basis of a predetermined condition. For example, the predetermined condition is deviation of the output range from the recommended range. Moreover, for example, a transition speed is controlled such that return to the recommended range is achieved faster as a positional difference between the output range and the recommended range becomes larger.
