Claim:
1. An image projection device comprising: receiving means for receiving original image data of an object imaged by an imaging device; projecting means for projecting projection light on a screen; image converting means for interpolating or reducing a resolution of the original image data so as to match a resolution of the projecting means, and for generating image data for projecting the projection light; and magnification control means for, when (i) the image converting means generates the image data by reducing the resolution of the original image data, and then (ii) a user requests magnification of a particular region which is a part of the image data having the reduced resolution generated by the image converting means: (a) controlling the image converting means to detect a region of the original image data that corresponds to the particular region and execute a magnification process based on the detected region of the original image data to produce magnified image data, and (b) controlling the image converting means to convert the magnified image data to the image data for projecting the projection light.
