Abstract: There are provided an image generating apparatus, an image generating method, and a program for generating an image that allows each of the users sharing a virtual space to see what the ether users are looking at. A virtual space managing section (126) arranges a fixation point object indicative of a fixation point at a position away from a first viewpoint in a first visual line direction passing through the first viewpoint arranged in a virtual space, the first visual line direction corresponding to the attitude of a first head-mounted display. A frame image generating section (128) generates an image indicating how things look from a second viewpoint in a second visual line direction corresponding to the attitude of a second head-mounted display, the second viewpoint being arranged in the virtual space in which the fixation point object is arranged.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus 12 acquires RAW images 202a and 202b by left and right cameras and performs a demosaicing process for and stepwise reduction of the RAW images 202a and 202b to generate and correct colored image groups 204a and 204b which represent picked up images with a plurality of resolutions (S10 and S12). Image process parameters 206 acquired in the course of the demosaicing process and the correction process are transmitted to a host terminal 20 together with part of colored images and data of a partial image 208 of the RAW image 202a. The host terminal 20 utilizes the image process parameters 206 transmitted from the imaging apparatus 12 to perform a demosaicing process for the partial image 208 to generate and correct a colored image 212 (S16). The host terminal 20 utilizes the colored image transmitted from the imaging apparatus 12 and the colored image 212 generated therein to generate an image 214 to be displayed (S18 and S20).
