Abstract:
A VR (Virtual Reality) simulator projects or displays a virtual space image on a screen installed at a position distant from a user in a real space and not integrally moving with the user. More specifically, the VR simulator acquires a real user position being a position of the user's head in the real space. The VR simulator acquires a virtual user position being a position in a virtual space corresponding to the real user position. Then, the VR simulator acquires the virtual space image by imaging the virtual space by using a camera placed at the virtual user position in the virtual space, based on virtual space configuration information indicating a configuration of the virtual space. Here, the VR simulator performs a lens shift process that shifts a lens of the camera such that the entire screen fits within a field of view of the camera.
