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.
