Abstract: To make it easy to select an optimal viewing environment depending on content and preference of each person when viewing an image with a head-mounted display or a large-screen display device. Evaluation values of respective elements of a visual effect with respect to viewing environments and image configurations are determined in advance. For example, when an observer tries to start image viewing, a viewing environment that is most likely to provide a desired visual effect is automatically extracted on the basis of the evaluation value determined in advance with respect to the viewing environment and the image configuration and parameters of that viewing environment are displayed in an easily understandable manner as GUIs. Further, the evaluation values of the elements of the viewing effect in the selected viewing environment are also displayed.
