ABSTRACT:
To provide an image processing technique for easy initial settings when a video image feature is used as an input interface.This is an image processor having an image combining section106for combining a mirrored video image feature that includes an image of an operator as a portion thereof and an object image of an object that is associated with a predetermined event, to generate a combined image, and being adapted to provide production of the combined image on a display device. This image processor has a detection section109for detecting the position of an image of an operator included in the mirrored video image feature. The image combining section106is adapted to combine the object image and the mirrored video image feature in such a manner that the object image is displayed in a range that an image of a hand of the operator can reach, depending on the position of the image of the operator detected by the detection section109.
