A display apparatus according to the present disclosure includes a display unit formed with a lens being arranged for a plurality of adjoining pixels including a left-eye pixel and a right-eye pixel, as a unit, a detection unit attached to the display unit and configured to detect positional information and orientation information of an eye of an observer with respect to a display surface of the display unit, a signal processing unit configured to generate virtual image information for each of the left-eye pixel and the right-eye pixel so as to present a virtual image in an aspect ratio different from the aspect ratio of the display surface of the display unit on the basis of a result of detection obtained by the detection unit, and a display control unit configured to drive the left-eye pixel and the right-eye pixel on the basis of the virtual image information generated by the signal processing unit.

The image processing apparatus acquires image data to be displayed and generates an initial image to output the image to a head-mounted display. Further, the apparatus generates a reference image including an image for a left eye and an image for a right eye and representing an image of an object viewed from two viewpoints spaced apart horizontally. In the case where the inclination angle of the head of the user is other than 0 degrees, the apparatus rotates the image for the left eye and the image for the right eye in reverse to the head inclination, using one point defined on a view screen, as a common axis. The apparatus outputs the image data to the head-mounted display regardless of the presence or absence of rotation. The apparatus repeats the processes until the display ends.

A head-mounted display (HMD) system may include a HMD with a housing and a pair of display panels, mounted within the housing, that are counterrotated in orientation. A compositor of the HMD system may also be configured to provide camera pose data with counterrotated camera orientations to an executing application (e.g., a video game application), and to resample the frames received from the application, with or without rotational adjustments in the clockwise and counterclockwise directions depending on whether the display panels of the HMD are upright-oriented or counterrotated in orientation. A combined approach may use the counterrotated camera orientations in combination with counterrotated display panels to provide a HMD with optimized display performance.

Embodiments allow a viewer of a display to see images. The images viewed by the glasses may be based on the orientation of the glasses, so that the images correspond to the user's viewpoint. Different images may be presented to left and right eyes for 3D stereoscopic viewing. The position and orientation of the glasses may be tracked by analyzing images from one or more cameras observing the glasses. Glasses may have distinct geometric shapes or features, such as circular lenses, rims, regions around the lenses, to facilitate tracking. One or more regions of the glasses may be illuminated by self-contained or reflected light, to facilitate tracking under various ambient lighting conditions. The lenses of the glasses may have selective barriers such as anaglyph filters, polarizing filters, and shutters, to select images from the display.

An apparatus comprises a receiver (301) for receiving an image representation of a scene. A determiner (305) determines viewer poses for a viewer with respect to a viewer coordinate system. An aligner (307) aligns a scene coordinate system with the viewer coordinate system by aligning a scene reference position with a viewer reference position in the viewer coordinate system. A renderer (303) renders view images for different viewer poses in response to the image representation and the alignment of the scene coordinate system with the viewer coordinate system. An offset processor (309) determines the viewer reference position in response to an alignment viewer pose where the viewer reference position is dependent on an orientation of the alignment viewer pose and has an offset with respect to a viewer eye position for the alignment viewer pose. The offset includes an offset component in a direction opposite to a view direction of the viewer eye position.

A 3D display device includes a display panel, an optical element, a second communication module, and a controller. The display panel is mounted on a moving body and configured to display a parallax image. The optical element is configured to define a propagation direction of image light emitted from the display panel. The second communication module is configured to receive a motion signal indicating a parameter of a motion of the moving body. The controller is configured to cause the display panel to display the parallax image based on the parameter indicated by the motion signal.

In order to provide an image processing system that can generate appealing content, an image capturing system 100 generates stereoscopic form digital contents 200 including a first image that is a main camera image, and a second image that is a virtual viewpoint image, and associates the first image and the second image with a first plane 201 and a second plane 202 that configure the digital contents 200.
