Abstract
An endoscopic system according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a head-mounted display, a detector, and a controller. The head-mounted display is worn by an operator. The detector is capable of detecting a motion of the operator. The controller causes each of the plurality of head-mounted displays to individually display an image. The controller includes an endoscopic image acquisition unit capable of obtaining endoscopic image data of an affected area of a patient and an image control unit capable of controlling the endoscopic image data based on an output from each of the plurality of detectors. The controller performs control to display the image based on an output from the image control unit.
