INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD AND RECORDING MEDIUM

1 . An information processing apparatus comprising:

a display controller that controls a display of an object to be displayed such that when the object to be displayed is displayed stereoscopically in accordance with 3D image data that can be displayed stereoscopically, a display format of the object to be displayed positioned outside a fusional area of an observer is different from a display format of the object to be displayed positioned inside the fusional area.

2 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein an area positioned outside the fusional area is an area away from an image display reference plane to a side of the observer exceeding a predetermined distance and an area away from the image display reference plane in a direction away from the observer exceeding the predetermined distance, the image display reference plane serving as a reference when the object to be displayed is displayed stereoscopically.

3 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the display controller exercises display control such that a parallax of the object to be displayed positioned in the area away from the image display reference plane in the direction away from the observer exceeding the predetermined distance is fixed to the parallax in a boundary between the area away from the image display reference plane exceeding the predetermined distance and the fusional area.

4 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the display controller exercises the display control such that the object to be displayed positioned in the area away from the image display reference plane to the side of the observer exceeding a predetermined distance is not displayed.

5 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the display controller adjusts a display position of the object to be displayed such that a fixation point selected by the observer is positioned in the image display reference plane.

6 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the display controller adjusts the display position of the object to be displayed such that a position of the fixation point is positioned in a center of the image display reference plane.

7 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the display controller adjusts the display position of the object to be displayed along a normal direction of the image display reference plane such that the fixation point is positioned in the image display reference plane.

8 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the display controller performs at least one of scaling up/scaling down processing and rotation processing of the object to be displayed using the fixation point as the reference.

9 . An information processing method comprising:

controlling a display of an object to be displayed such that when the object to be displayed is displayed stereoscopically in accordance with 3D image data that can be displayed stereoscopically, a display format of the object to be displayed positioned outside a fusional area of an observer is different from a display format of the object to be displayed positioned inside the fusional area.

10 . A recording medium having a program stored therein, the program causing a computer to realize

a display control function that controls a display of an object to be displayed such that when the object to be displayed is displayed stereoscopically in accordance with 3D image data that can be displayed stereoscopically, a display format of the object to be displayed positioned outside a fusional area of an observer is different from a display format of the object to be displayed positioned inside the fusional area.
