ABSTRACT:
An image synthesis and display apparatus. The apparatus includes a display device, an image pickup device, an extraction unit and a synthesis unit. The display device displays a simulation image to a user, and provides a field of view of the simulation image to the user. The image pickup device detects an image of a range of an actual space corresponding to the field of view provided to the user by the display device. The extraction unit extracts an image of an object from the image detected by the image pickup device. The synthesis unit inserts the image extracted by the extraction unit into a simulation of a virtual space, to produce the simulation image displayed by the display device. The image pickup device is aligned with the display device, and the image pickup device and the display device move with the user while maintaining the alignment between the image pickup device and the display device.
