Abstract: Data processing apparatus comprises a camera to capture successive images according to an image capture period; an optically detectable indicator having multiple optically detectable states and configured to transition between the multiple optically detectable states according to a transition pattern having interspersed periods in the multiple optically detectable states; the transition pattern including a reference period and two or more second periods which are shorter than the image capture period and which are separated by a separation period different to the image capture period; and a processor to detect timing information from images captured by the camera of the optically detectable indicator.

Abstract: A position and rotation information acquisition unit 730 acquires information relating to a position and a rotation of the head of a user who wears a head-mounted display unit 100. A coordinate transformation unit 740 and a panorama image processing unit 750 generate an image to be displayed on the head-mounted display unit using the information relating to the position and the rotation acquired at a certain point of time by the position and rotation information acquisition unit 730. A correction processing unit 780 corrects the generated image using updated information relating to the position and the rotation at a different point of time.
