Abstract
A synchronization control device includes a detection unit configured to detect at least one of a position and an orientation of the device in a three-dimensional space. The synchronization control device includes one or more image pickup elements, and a control unit configured to control such that a phase of an image capturing timing of the one or more image pickup elements is synchronized with a phase of a detection timing of the detection unit, and a cycle length of the image capturing timing is equal to a cycle length of the detection timing or an integral multiple of the cycle length of the detection tuning.

A device comprising:
- one or more image pickup elements configured to sequentially capture images;
- a detection unit configured to sequentially detect a position and an orientation of the device;
- one or more display elements configured to sequentially display composite images of the captured images and virtual images generated based on the detected position and orientation;
- and
- a control unit configured to perform such control that a timing of sequential image capturing by the one or more image pickup elements is synchronized with a timing of sequential detection by the detection unit, and a cycle length of the sequential image capturing is equal to a cycle length of the sequential detection or an integral multiple of the cycle length of the sequential detection.
A device comprising:
- one or more image pickup elements configured to sequentially capture images;
- a detection unit configured to detect a position and an orientation of the device;
- one or more display elements configured to sequentially display composite images of the captured images and virtual images generated based on the detected position and orientation and
