Abstract
An image display processing apparatus for scrolling through an image on a display includes a controller unit, a scroll information generator, and an image display controller. The controller unit includes a controller that is operable by a user and a sensor that detects the position and/or attitude of the controller in a three-dimensional space. The scroll information generator determines a scrolling mode of the image on the display based on the position and/or attitude of the controller in the three-dimensional space. The image display controller scrolls through the image on the display in accordance with the scrolling mode determined in the scroll information generator to update the displayed image.
