Abstract
A three-dimensional imaging system provides an image display system, a method and a recording medium, whereby a three-dimensional display of virtual images causes an observer to perceive virtual images three-dimensionally at a part of the body, such as the hand, of the observer. The system includes, for example, a position detecting unit detecting unit detecting the position in real space of a prescribed part of the body of an observer viewing the virtual images, and outputs the spatial coordinates thereof. A display position determining unit determining unit determines the positions at which the observer is caused to perceive the virtual images, on the basis of ages, on the basis of the spatial coordinates output by the position detecting unit.
