7. The image display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the display control unit controls hues of the plurality of the three-dimensional images in accordance with the positions in the depth direction of the plurality of lines in which the plurality of the three-dimensional images are arranged.
8. The image display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the display control unit controls degrees of focusing of the plurality of the three-dimensional images in accordance with the positions in the depth direction of the plurality of lines in which the plurality of the three-dimensional images are arranged.
9. The image display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the display control unit controls, in accordance with roles assigned respectively to the plurality of the three-dimensional images, the plurality of lines in which the plurality of the three-dimensional images are arranged.
10. The image display apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein, when the detection unit starts to detect the changes in the at least one of position and orientation of the display unit, the display control unit causes display positions of the plurality of the three-dimensional images to be moved from positions with respect to which the display unit has not yet been changed in any of position and orientation into a direction opposite to a direction in which the display unit has been changed in the at least one of position and orientation, and
wherein, when the detection unit detects that the changes in the at least one of position and orientation have ended, the display control unit causes the display positions of the plurality of the three-dimensional images to be returned to the positions with respect to which the display unit has not yet been changed in the any of position and orientation.
11. The image display apparatus according to claim 10 ,
wherein the plurality of lines in which the plurality of the three-dimensional images are arranged include
a line on a deeper side as viewed from a user, and
a line on a nearer side as viewed from the user,
wherein the plurality of the three-dimensional images include
a plurality of three-dimensional images that are arranged in the line on the deeper side as viewed from the user, and
a plurality of three-dimensional images that are arranged in the line on the nearer side as viewed from the user, and
wherein the display control unit causes the plurality of three-dimensional images that are arranged in the line on the nearer side as viewed from the user to be moved by an amount larger than an amount of moving the plurality of three-dimensional images that are arranged in the line on the deeper side as viewed from the user.
