Abstract
An image processing apparatus acquires a first frame and acquiring additional image data for at least one of a first user or a second user, generates a first composite frame for the first user by combining the first frame and the additional image data for the first user and/or a second composite frame for the second user by combining the first frame and the additional image data for the second user, outputs, for the first user, the first composite frame if the first composite frame is generated or the first frame otherwise, and outputs, for the second user, the second composite frame if the second composite frame is generated or the first frame otherwise.
