Seamless image viewing system and method
First Claim
1. An image display system that causes an observer to recognize that a monitor image and a background look continuous, the image display system comprising:
- a camera that shoots the background;
a monitor that displays the shot background image; and
an optical lens that is arranged between a display surface of the monitor and the observer, wherein an imaginary image, obtained due to presence of the optical lens, of the monitor image is made to substantially match with a background surface,wherein the camera is arranged on a shielding object placed between the monitor and the background, anda distance d between the monitor and the optical lens satisfies following Expression (X1)

Abstract
An image display system according to the present invention includes a camera that shoots a background, a monitor that displays a shot background image, and an optical lens arranged on a display surface of the monitor. An imaginary image, obtained due to presence of the optical lens, of the monitor image is made to substantially match with a background surface, so that observers viewing the background through the monitor can recognize that the monitor image and the background look continuous. As a result, the image display system and the image display method that can cause the observers viewing the background through the monitor to recognize that the monitor image and the background look continuous are provided.

8. An image display method that causes an observer to recognize that a monitor image and a background look continuous, the image display method comprising:
-
a step of shooting the background; and a step of displaying a shot background image on a display surface of the monitor at which an optical lens is arranged, wherein an imaginary image, obtained due to presence of the optical lens, of the monitor image is made to substantially match with a background surface, wherein a distance d between the monitor and the optical lens satisfies following Expression (X1)
