ABSTRACT:
When a plurality of mixed reality (MR) experiencing persons experience the same mixed reality, there is a possibility that the experiencing persons come into contact with one another. An image processing apparatus capable of reporting to the MR experiencing persons that there is a possibility of contact. Therefore, a real space image that is image captured from the position and orientation of a user's viewpoint is drawn. The position and orientation of the user's viewpoint at this time is detected by a sensor unit. It is determined whether or not the viewpoint position is smaller than or equal to an attention distance at which there is a possibility of contact. If the viewpoint position is smaller than or equal to the attention distance, an attention display for this fact is performed.
