ABSTRACT:
A system includes a first acquisition unit adapted to acquire a first position/orientation of a first viewpoint of a first observer, a first manipulation unit used by the first observer to manipulate a virtual object, and a second manipulation unit used by a second observer to manipulate the virtual object. A generation unit generates an image of the virtual object viewed from the first viewpoint based on the first position/orientation, and generates an image of the second manipulation unit based on a relative position of the second manipulation unit from a second viewpoint position of the second observer, a second acquisition unit acquires an image of a physical space viewed from the first viewpoint, and a combining unit combines the images generated by the generation unit and the image acquired by the second acquisition unit. In addition, an output unit outputs the combined image to a first head mounted display worn by the first observer and a second head mounted display worn by the second observer, with the manipulation results by the first manipulation unit and the second manipulation unit being reflected in the image of the virtual object.
