Abstract: Methods and apparatus provide for controlling an image display apparatus worn on a head of a user, including: producing a planar image representing virtual objects in a virtual world, wherein the planar image includes characteristics that enable the image display apparatus to be see-through that permits the user to visually recognize real world objects located in a real space within which the user is located in the planar image of the virtual world; and displaying the planar image on the image display apparatus in a display mode that changes a shape of the planar image as a function of a change in position and/or orientation of the image display apparatus, wherein the change in the shape of the planar image includes presenting the planar image in an orientation other than a front direction of the user.

Abstract: Provided is an information processing apparatus that can display a planar video in a manner suitable for circumstances of use when a planar video is displayed on a video display apparatus used by being worn on the head by a user. The information processing apparatus is connected to a video display apparatus used by being worn on the head by a user and switches between a first display mode in which a planar video is displayed in the front direction of the user irrespective of the change in position and/or orientation of the video display apparatus and a second display mode in which a planar video is displayed in a manner that changes with the change in position and/or orientation of the video display apparatus based on a given condition.

Abstract: In an image generation apparatus, an input information obtaining section obtains contents of a user operation from an input apparatus. When two images are composited, an image data generating section switches a space of image data according to a situation and stores data of images composited in the space in a frame buffer. A format control section sets a data format corresponding to the determined space in the frame buffer. An output section outputs the data read from the frame buffer as video signals corresponding to a display.
