Abstract:
A projector control apparatus that causes plural projectors to collectively project an image by individually projecting a different one of segment images into which the image is divided, the apparatus including: a spatial distribution information obtaining unit which obtains information indicating a distribution of one or more viewers that view the image in a space where the projectors are mounted; a mode selecting unit which selects, using the information indicating the distribution of the one or more viewers, one of modes including (i) a first mode in which a width of a projection area is a first width and (ii) a second mode in which the width of the projection area is a second width larger than the first width; and a projector control unit which changes arrangement of the segment images by controlling each of projection directions according to the mode selected.
