ABSTRACT:
An image composition system includes an HMD (100) having a right-eye camera (110), a left-eye camera (111), a right-eye LCD (130) and a left-eye LCD (131) for displaying a real image, and the like, and an information processing apparatus (300) for generating another image different from the real image. A composite image obtained by superimposing the other image generated by the information processing apparatus (300) on the real image captured by the right-eye camera (110) and left-eye camera (111) is displayed on the right-eye LCD (130) and left-eye LCD (131). The display region of the other image is determined based on the position and posture of the head of the user who wears the HMD (100). The user can observe the other image superimposed on the real image at an appropriate position while wearing the HMD on his or her head.
