1. An image display device comprising:
- an acquisition unit configured to acquire a plurality of images obtained by capturing an imaging subject by using a plurality of cameras;
a generation unit configured to synthesize the plurality of images and to generate a synthesized image viewing the imaging subject from a virtual perspective;
a display control unit configured to display the synthesized image on a screen; and
a detection unit configured to detect a user operation of changing a position of the virtual perspective of the synthesized image displayed on the screen,wherein the generation unit is configured to change the position of the virtual perspective of the synthesized image on the basis of the user operation.

Abstract
A plurality of images of an imaging subject is captured by using a plurality of cameras. The plurality of images is synthesized to generate a synthesized image viewing the imaging subject from a virtual perspective. The synthesized image is displayed on a screen (83). When a user operation for changing the position of the virtual perspective is detected, the position of the virtual perspective in the synthesized image is changed.
