Abstract: Disclosed herein is an image generation device including: a space construction section that constructs a virtual world to be displayed on a head-mounted display; an image generation section that generates, based on a position and a posture of a head of a player wearing the head-mounted display, a display image representing the virtual world in a field of view corresponding to a point of view of the player, and causes the head-mounted display to display the generated display image; and a visitor information acquisition section that acquires information regarding presence of a visitor without a head-mounted display in a space where the player is able to move. While the visitor is present, the space construction section displays an object indicating the presence of the visitor at a corresponding position in the virtual world.

Abstract: A partial image acquiring unit 50 of an image data output device 10 acquires plural partial images photographed with different angles of view. An output image generating unit 52 connects partial images to generate data of one wide-angle image. A map generating unit 56 generates map data relating to a joint of partial images, and a data output unit 54 outputs these pieces of data. A content creation device 18 refers to the map data and enlarges a region including the joint, and detects and corrects image distortion and a discontinuous part. A content reproduction device 20 refers to the map data and connects or combines the remaining partial images as appropriate to carry out output to the display device 16b.
