Real space image including a simple prototype created based on
three-dimensional CAD data is captured by an image input apparatus. A
position/orientation measuring apparatus measures positions and
orientations of the image input apparatus and simple prototype. An
information processor captures position/orientation information
representing the position and orientation of the simple prototype in the
image captured by the image input apparatus 102. The information
processor further extracts a hand area from an image, renders a
three-dimensional computer graphic image on the simple prototype,
excluding the extracted hand area, in the image based on the
position/orientation information and the three-dimensional CAD data, and
synthesizes the image and the three-dimensional computer graphic image.
Here, the simple prototype has a different color from a color of the hand
area.
