Abstract: A head-mounted display device (30) is provided which includes: optical elements (33L, R) disposed in front of the eyes of a user and configured to introduce light associated with images to be presented to the user into the eyes of the user; and a drive mechanism configured to move the optical elements in directions intersecting with visual line directions of the user. An image display system is further provided which includes the head-mounted display device (30) and an image supply device (10) including: an image supply part configured to supply the images to the head-mounted display device; and a display position control part configured to output control instructions to operate the drive mechanism in a manner changing the positions at which the images are displayed within fields of view of the user.

Abstract: There is provided a head-mounted display device capable of adjusting a distance to an image forming position that includes video display elements that show a video, optical elements arranged in front of user's eyes to cause the video shown by the video display elements to be incident on the user's eyes, and a control mechanism that changes an optical distance between the video display elements and the optical elements. Also provided is a video display system that includes the head-mounted display device and a video supply device that includes a video supply section that supplies a video to the head-mounted display device and an image forming distance control section that outputs a control instruction to change a distance from the optical elements to the image forming position by operating the control mechanism.

Abstract: A motion detection section 30 detects the posture of an HMD worn on the head of a user. A status determination section 32 determines a user's gaze direction and a binocular inclination angle in accordance with the detected posture of the HMD. The binocular inclination angle is the angle between a horizontal plane and a line connecting the left and right eyes of the user. An image identification section 34 determines two images for use in the generation of left- and right-eye parallax images from a plurality of viewpoint images stored in an image storage device 16 in accordance with the user's gaze direction and the binocular inclination angle. An image generation section 36 generates left- and right-eye parallax images from the two identified images. An image supply section 38 supplies the generated parallax images to the HMD.
