Claim 13:
14. A remote control assistance system comprising:
a stereoscopic display device to display a right-eye image and a left-eye image captured by a right camera and a left camera to be viewed stereoscopically, the right camera and the left camera being mounted on a manipulator controlled by an operator remotely to handle an object and having a predetermined positional relationship;
a structure data storage to store manipulator structure data representing a structure of the manipulator and camera structure data representing structures of the right camera and the left camera;
a manipulator model generator to generate a manipulator model being a three-dimensional model of the manipulator including the right camera and the left camera by referring to the manipulator structure data, the camera structure data, and position and posture information representing a position and a posture of the manipulator;
an image processing model generator to perform image processing on the right-eye image and the left-eye image based on positions and capturing directions of the right camera and the left camera included in the manipulator model to generate a surrounding environment model being a three-dimensional model of the object and a surrounding environment being a thing being present around the object;
a model integrator to generate an integrated three-dimensional model being a three-dimensional model obtained by integrating the surrounding environment model and the manipulator model;
a model image generator to generate a model image being an image of the integrated three-dimensional model viewed from a viewpoint designated by the operator; and
a model image display device to display the model image and configure to be able to be viewed by the operator switching between the stereoscopic display device and the model image display device through moving the head of the operator.
