Abstract
An image processing section 750 draws an image viewed in a line-of-sight direction from a viewpoint position at a certain time. An image storage section 760 holds the image drawn by the image processing section 750 as past frames. A past frame selection section 790 selects, from among the past frames held in the image storage section 760, a substitute image to be viewed in the line-of-sight direction from a current viewpoint position. An image providing section 770 outputs the substitute image before providing the image viewed in the line-of-sight direction from the current viewpoint position, drawn by the image processing section 750.
