Abstract:
An image processing method which comprises: providing a virtual three-dimensional space containing three-dimensional objects, providing a virtual viewpoint relatively associated with a virtual moving object moving in said virtual three-dimensional space, wherein the position of said viewpoint varies according to movement speed of said virtual moving object, providing a virtual projection screen an which the objects in said virtual space viewed from said viewpoint are projected, and displaying the two-dimensional projection image of said three-dimensional objects, projected on said projection screen, onto image display means,in which the relative distance between said viewpoint and said projection screen varies according to the movement speed of the virtual moving object so that when the virtual moving object moves faster, the view field angle to the projection screen becomes larger, allowing a larger range of the virtual three-dimensional space to be projected in the same area on the projection screen.
