Image processing device and image processing method
A motion detection section 720 detects a motion exceeding a permissible limit in a wide-viewing-angle image displayed on a head-mounted display 100 . A field-of-view restriction processing section 750 restricts a field of view for observing the wide-viewing-angle image in a case in which the motion exceeding the permissible limit has been detected in the wide-viewing-angle image. An image provision section 760 provides, for the head-mounted display 100 , the wide-viewing-angle image in which the field of view has been restricted.
1. An image processing device comprising:
a motion detection section configured to detect a motion exceeding a permissible limit in a wide-viewing-angle image displayed on a wearable display device;

an image provision section configured to provide the wide-viewing-angle image in which the field of view is restricted for the wearable display device,
wherein the field-of-view restriction processing section restricts the field of view for observing the wide-viewing-angle image by using processing for masking a peripheral area of the wide-viewing-angle image,
wherein transmittance of the masking is decreased from 100% to 0% over a predetermined time period,
wherein, when receiving an operation instruction to zoom in or zoom out the wide-viewing-angle image beyond a predetermined scale factor, the motion detection section determines that the motion exceeding the permissible limit is detected and the field of view is restricted for a duration of the operation instruction, and
wherein, when a motion that does not depend on a physical motion of a user is detected in the wide-viewing-angle image, the motion detection section determines that the motion exceeding the permissible limit is detected and the wide-viewing-angle image is masked.
2. The image processing device according to claim 1 , wherein
when receiving an operation instruction to move a viewpoint position in a virtual space displayed on the wearable display device beyond a predetermined speed, the motion detection section determines that the motion exceeding the permissible limit is detected,
wherein the operation instruction is received using a handheld controller.
3. The image processing device according to claim 1 , wherein
when a change amount in a point-of-view position exceeds a first predetermined threshold and a frame rate is below a second predetermined threshold, the motion detection section determines that the motion exceeding the permissible limit is detected and the wide-viewing-angle image is masked.
4. An image processing method comprising:
detecting a motion exceeding a permissible limit in a wide-viewing-angle image displayed on a wearable display device;
restricting a field of view for observing the wide-viewing-angle image when receiving an operation instruction to zoom in or zoom out the wide-viewing-angle image beyond a predetermined scale factor for a duration of the operation instruction; and
providing the wide-viewing-angle image in which the field of view is restricted for the wearable display device,
wherein the masking includes making the peripheral area black and transparency of the masking is increased towards a center of the wide-viewing-angle image; and
when receiving an operation instruction to zoom in or zoom out the wide-viewing-angle image beyond a predetermined scale factor from a fixed viewpoint, the motion detection section determines that the motion exceeding the permissible limit is detected and the field of view is restricted for a duration of the operation instruction, and
when a motion that does not depend on a physical motion of a user is detected in the wide-viewing-angle image, it is determined that the motion exceeding the permissible limit is detected and the wide-viewing-angle image is masked.
5. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a program for a computer, the program comprising:
by a motion detection section, detecting a motion exceeding a permissible limit in a wide-viewing-angle image displayed on a wearable display device;
by a field-of-view restriction processing section, restricting a field of view for observing the wide-viewing-angle image when receiving an operation instruction to zoom in or zoom out the wide-viewing-angle image beyond a predetermined scale factor for a duration of the operation instruction; and
by an image provision section, providing the wide-viewing-angle image in which the field of view is restricted for the wearable display device,
wherein the masking includes making the peripheral area black and transparency of the masking is increased towards a center of the wide-viewing-angle image, and
wherein, when a motion that does not depend on a physical motion of a user is detected in the wide-viewing-angle image, the motion detection section determines that the motion exceeding the permissible limit is detected and the wide-viewing-angle image is masked.
