1. An image-processing system, comprising:
- a sensor configured to detect a real position of a first living object, wherein the real position is associated with a display device in a depth direction in a real space; and
circuitry configured to;
acquire a first living-object image representing the first living object and a second living-object image representing a second living object different from the first living object, whereinthe second living-object image is a foreground image,first depth information of the first living-object image is based on the detected real position, andsecond depth information of the second living-object image corresponds to the second living object located in a virtual space;
control the display device for display of a composite image of the first living-object image, the second living-object image, and a background image that is in the virtual space;
compare the first depth information and the second depth information to determine that a depth distance between the first living-object image and the second living-object image is larger than a threshold distance in the virtual space;
set the threshold distance based on a depth of the second living-object image;
set the threshold distance based on a depth of the foreground image in the composite image, whereina second value of the threshold distance for a second depth of the foreground image in the composite image is larger than a first value of the threshold distance for a first depth of the foreground image in the composite image, andthe second depth is deeper than the first depth; and
control the display device to;
display an effect image based on the determination that the depth distance is larger than the threshold distance in the virtual space; and
change the first depth information based on a movement of the first living object.
