Patent ID: 8436941

Claim:
An information presenting device comprising: a first image generating unit configured to extract, from video data input by way of an input unit, a portion of said video data, and generate a plurality of main images; a second image generating unit configured to generate multiple sub-images from information correlated to said video data; and an image output unit configured to generate a display image, wherein said plurality of main images are placed in time sequence, and each of said plurality of sub-images are displayed in time sequence corresponding to said main images; and a current image generating unit configured to generate a small image of a display size smaller than the display size of one of said plurality of main images, which is at a current position, generated by said first image generating unit, the display size of the small image being proportionately smaller with respect to an increasing distance from the one of said plurality of main images at said current position, the display size of the small image increasing proportionately, with respect to a decreasing distance, as the small image moves toward said current position, wherein the image output unit comprises: a virtual space generating unit configured to generate a main image object wherein said plurality of main images are arrayed in time sequence, generate sub-image objects from each of the plurality of sub-images, and generate said virtual space by placing said plurality of sub-image objects in time sequence, above said main image object and in parallel with the placement direction of said main images; and a rendering unit configured to set a viewpoint between said main image object and said plurality of sub-image objects, so as to generate said display image from said virtual space, such that said viewpoint moves from the present toward the future in a manner parallel to the array direction of said main images as time progress.
