Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus which performs a simulation of an operation of an object, the apparatus comprising: at least one processor configured to: obtain a real space image including a predetermined part of an observer who observes a result of the simulation, the real space image being captured by an image capturing unit attached on a display device; acquire a position of a predetermined part of the observer based on the obtained real space image; obtain a degree of overlapping between the predetermined part of the observer and a virtual object representing the object based on the position of the predetermined part of the observer and the position of the virtual object; determine a parameter for use in the simulation based on the obtained degree of overlapping; perform the simulation of the operation of the object by using the determined parameter; generate, by synthesizing the real space image and a result of the simulation, an image in which the virtual object is operating; and output the generated image to the display device.
