Abstract

An image display apparatus includes a display section that displays an image, a detection section that detects a direction of the face of a user, and a change section that changes an image to be displayed on the display section from an image for a first direction to an image for a second direction, the image for the first direction and the image for the second direction being images having an identical attribute, in a case where the direction of the face of the user, which is detected by the detection section, is changed from the first direction to the second direction.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An image display apparatus comprising:
a display section that displays an image;
a detection section that detects a direction of the face of a user; and
a change section that changes an image to be displayed on the display section from an image for a first direction to an image for a second direction, the image for the first direction and the image for the second direction being images having an identical attribute, in a case where the direction of the face of the user, which is detected by the detection section, is changed from the first direction to the second direction, wherein the identical attribute includes themes, which are related with each other, as well as a case of the same themes, and wherein the themes are changed according to a location of a user.

2. The image display apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the change section determines an area of the image that the user visually recognizes, and performs enlargement of the area.
