1. An imaging apparatus, comprising:
- imaging means for imaging a scene that is in a direction in which a user sees to obtain image data of the scene;
biological sensor means for detecting biological information concerning the user; and
control means for generating metadata based on at least the biological information obtained by said biological sensor means, and performing a storage process of storing the image data obtained by said imaging means so as to be associated with the metadata.

9. A display apparatus that acquires image data from a nonvolatile storage medium having stored therein image data to which metadata based on biological information is added, and displays the acquired image data, said display apparatus comprising:
-
display means; biological sensor means for detecting biological information concerning a user; and control means for generating a search condition based on the biological information detected by said biological sensor means, and controlling image data found in the nonvolatile storage medium as a result of a search using the search condition to be displayed on said display means. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. An imaging method comprising the steps of:
-
imaging a scene that is in a direction in which a user sees to obtain image data of the scene; detecting biological information concerning the user; generating metadata based on at least the biological information obtained in said detecting; and storing the image data obtained in said imaging so as to be associated with the metadata generated in said generating.

22. A display method employed in a display apparatus that acquires image data from a nonvolatile storage medium having stored therein image data to which metadata based on biological information is added, and displays the acquired image data, said method comprising the steps of:
-
detecting biological information concerning a user; generating a search condition based on the biological information detected in said detecting; and displaying image data found in the nonvolatile storage medium as a result of a search using the search condition generated in said generating.
