BACKGROUND

1. Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to a video display method or a video display device that displays videos using videos obtained by capturing the same scene from a plurality of mutually different viewpoints.

2. Description of the Related Art

As an image distribution method, a technique for controlling image capture conditions of cameras in a multi-view video distribution system is disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2002-165200. In addition, a technique for distributing images captured from a plurality of viewpoints in accordance with movement of the viewpoints is disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2012-094990.

SUMMARY

It is preferable that such a system can display videos more appropriately.

In view of this, the present disclosure has an object to provide a video display method or video display device capable of appropriately displaying videos.

In order to achieve the above object, a video display method according to one aspect of the present invention includes: (A) obtaining a plurality of second videos selected from among a plurality of first videos obtained by capturing a same scene from a plurality of mutually different viewpoints; (B) selecting, as a first selected viewpoint, one first viewpoint from among a plurality of first viewpoints corresponding to the plurality of second videos, and displaying a second video that is included in the plurality of second videos and corresponds to the first selected viewpoint; (C) obtaining a plurality of fourth videos selected from among a plurality of third videos obtained by capturing the scene, after the plurality of first videos, from a plurality of mutually different viewpoints; (D) determining whether the first selected viewpoint is included in a plurality of second viewpoints corresponding to the plurality of fourth videos; (E) displaying a fourth video that is included in the plurality of fourth videos and corresponds to the first selected viewpoint, when the first selected viewpoint is determined to be included in the plurality of second viewpoints; and (F) selecting one second viewpoint from among the plurality of second viewpoints as a second selected viewpoint, and displaying a fourth video that is included in the plurality of fourth videos and corresponds to the second selected viewpoint, when the first selected viewpoint is determined to not be included in the plurality of second viewpoints.

It should be noted that general or specific embodiments may be implemented as a system, a method, an integrated circuit, a computer program, a computer-readable storage medium such as a compact disc read-only memory (CD-ROM), or any selective combination thereof.
