A virtual object and stylus model as images to be composited to a real
space image are rendered by changing background transparencies according
to a mutual positional relationship. When the virtual object image is
composited to the real space image, the image of the stylus included in
the real space image is observed while reflecting the positional
relationship with the virtual object. In this way, in an MR image, the
depth ordering between real and virtual objects can be correctly and
easily expressed.
