Abstract: An information processing device (1) according to an embodiment includes a display control unit (34) and a decision unit (31). The display control unit (34) displays a content image on a head-mounted display. During display of the content image by the display control unit (34), the decision unit (31) decides whether or not a surrounding person exists in a front direction of the head-mounted display on the basis of a camera image obtained by capturing an image of a surrounding environment of the head-mounted display. In a case where the decision unit (31) decides that a surrounding person exists, the display control unit (34) moves a display position of the content image.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus (1) according to an aspect of an embodiment includes a drawing unit (6b), a setting unit (6c), and an expansion unit (6e). The drawing unit (6b) draws a virtual object displayed on a display device (4). The setting unit (6c) sets a shielding object indicating the shape of a real object existing in a real space and to be superimposed on the real object. The expansion unit (6e) expands the shielding object toward the virtual object side when a shielding condition indicating that the virtual object drawn by the drawing unit (6b) is partially shielded by the shielding object set by the setting unit is satisfied.
