Terminals 10 operate under the control of a computer program. An instruction made by a reproduction/stop switch BL 1 causes a data inputting portion BL 2 to input streamed moving picture data in which a plurality of moving picture data sets respectively representative of moving picture items shot from respectively different viewpoints, are combined. The data inputting portion BL 2 then writes the input moving picture data into a reproduction buffer BL 3 successively. A rendering processing portion BL 4 successively converts the moving picture data stored in the reproduction buffer BL 3 to rendering data for rendering on a display unit 18 , and then successively writes the converted data into a rendering buffer BL 5 . A display controlling portion BL 7 successively retrieves, from the rendering buffer BL 5 , only rendering data corresponding to a viewpoint selected by a viewpoint switch BL 6 , and writes the retrieved data into a display buffer BL 8 that controls display on the display unit 18 . Viewpoints of streamed moving picture items shot from various viewpoints are smoothly switched, and continuity of the moving picture content streamed to the terminals 10 is ensured.
