It is an objective of the invention of the present application to provide an image display apparatus capable of reducing a change in a display state of a virtual image that depends on a change in a viewpoint position. An image display apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes an emission unit, a diffractive optical element, and an emission control unit. The emission unit emits image light of a target image. The diffractive optical element includes an incident surface and an emission surface, diffracts the image light entering the incident surface, emits the image light from the emission surface, and displays a virtual image that is the target image. The emission control unit controls emission of the image light by the emission unit by using image data generated in accordance with a change in a display state of the virtual image that depends on a change in a viewpoint position.

A video display device comprising; a display; an exercise amount detection sensor configured to detect an exercise amount of a viewer while the viewer is viewing content displayed and output sensor information; a timer that measures a viewing time; and a processor. The processor: acquires the viewing time from the timer; calculates the exercise amount of the viewer based on the sensor information acquired within a predetermined period of viewing time; compares the exercise amount with an exercise facilitation threshold for determining whether to facilitate exercise for the viewer; displays a specific object within a display area of the display when the exercise amount falls below the exercise facilitation threshold; and moves the specific object from an inside of the display area to an outside thereof in accordance with an external coordinate system expressing a position in a real space associated with a two-dimensional coordinate system in the display area.

The present technology provides a display device capable of appropriately displaying information in a visual field range of a user. The present technology provides a display device including: a display system configured to display information in a visual field range of a user by irradiating a retina of an eyeball with light using an element integrally provided on the eyeball of the user; a detection system configured to detect a change in an orientation and/or a position of the eyeball; and a control system configured to control a display position and/or a display mode of the information in the visual field range on the basis of a detection result in the detection system. According to the present technology, it is possible to provide a display device capable of appropriately displaying information in a visual field range of a user.

A display system supports variable refresh rates that include a plurality of refresh rates. A source such as a graphics processing unit (GPU) provides frames to the display system at a selected one of the refresh rates. The refresh rates are factored into a corresponding plurality of prime factors. A plurality of numbers of lines per frame in frames provided at the plurality of refresh rates is determined based on one or more ratios of the plurality of refresh rates, the plurality of prime factors, and a line rate for providing frames to the display system at the plurality of refresh rates. The source then selectively provides frames to the display system at one refresh rate of the plurality of refresh rates using the same line rate regardless of which refresh rate is chosen. Furthermore, the number of lines per frame is an integer for frames provided at the refresh rates.

In one aspect, a computer-implemented method is disclosed for providing geographic imagery.
