Abstract

Selon l'invention, une position de point de vue et une direction de ligne de vue sont stockées dans une unité de stockage (101). Une unité d'affichage (102) affiche, sur un écran, une image photographiée à partir de la position de point de vue et de la direction de ligne de vue. Une unité de réception (103) reçoit des opérations d'instruction. Une unité de détection (104) détecte un changement de la direction de l'écran. Une unité de mise à jour (105) met à jour la position de point de vue sur la base des opérations d'instruction, et met à jour la direction de ligne de vue sur la base du changement de la direction de l'écran. Ensuite, lorsque les opérations d'instruction sont reçues, l'unité de mise à jour (105) met à jour la direction de ligne de vue pour que celle-ci soit proche de la direction initiale.
