Image display method and image display device
First Claim
1. An image display method to display images on a plurality of display surfaces by using a plurality of inner surfaces of a polyhedron as the display surfaces, the image display method comprising:
- dividing an image to be displayed in accordance with plurality of display surfaces;
generating a plurality of images for the plurality of display surfaces so that the plurality of divided images are expressed by using a perspective method having a different vanishing point for each of the plurality of display surfaces; and
displaying the generated images on the plurality of display surfaces.

Abstract
An image is displayed on a small display unit having a wide viewing angle range and a cubic effect providing actuality and reality thereto. An image is displayed on a plurality of display surfaces which are inner surfaces of a display unit. The present invention calculates which image will be displayed on each display surface when viewing from a specific viewpoint, and the obtained images are displayed on each display surface. For example, when a 3 DCG image is displayed on two adjacent display surfaces of the plurality of display surfaces, the image is divided corresponding to the display surfaces, and the divided images are generated on the display surfaces by using a perspective method having one vanishing point.
