Abstract
An image-display control apparatus includes a detection unit for detecting a predetermined object from a photographed image, a position calculation unit for obtaining a positional relationship between the predetermined object in the photographed image detected by the detection unit and an object in a virtual image, an image removing unit for removing a predetermined partial image in the object in the virtual image by referring to a result of calculation of the position calculation unit, a synthesis unit for synthesizing the virtual image and the photographed image so that the predetermined object in the photographed image is present at a position of the partial image in the virtual image removed by the image removing unit, and a display control unit for displaying an image obtained as a result of synthesis of the synthesis unit on a display device.
