Abstract
A pseudo-three-dimensional image displaying apparatus displays a pseudo-three-dimensional image, as viewed from a given viewpoint, of a moving object whose three-dimensional coordinates and rotational angles have been established. The pseudo-three-dimensional image displaying apparatus has a memory for storing a history of coordinates and/or rotation angles of the moving object, a viewpoint calculator for determining coordinates and/or rotation angles of the viewpoint based on the history, stored in the memory, of coordinates and/or rotation angles of the moving object, and a data calculator for generating and displaying an image as viewed from the viewpoint at the coordinates and/or rotation angles determined by the viewpoint calculator.
