1. An image adjustment system, comprising:
a camera;
an image adjustor configured to adjust a shooting image imaged by the camera;
an image display configured to display the shooting image adjusted by the image adjustor; and
a controller configured to output instruction information to the image adjustor,
wherein the image adjustor comprises:
an image generator configured to generate a spherical image and a composite image to be synthesized with the shooting image, and
an image processor configured to acquire the spherical image generated by the image generator based on the instruction information and display the spherical image on the image display, rotate the spherical image based on the instruction information, adjust the shooting image displayed on the image display in accordance with rotating the spherical image, adjust the composite image in accordance with the adjusted shooting image, and synthesize the adjusted composite image with the adjusted shooting image,
wherein the camera is an omnidirectional camera configured to image a range of 360 degrees,
wherein the image display is a head-mounted display capable of mounting on a head of a user,
wherein the controller is a glove type controller capable of attaching on a hand of the user,
wherein, when the user watches the spherical image displayed on the image display in a state where the image display is mounted on the head of the user, the spherical image is a virtual image arranged around the user and the image display and set to display within a range where the hand or a finger of the user is reached to the spherical image, and
wherein, when the user moves the hand or finger of the user in an arbitrary direction while the controller is attached on the hand of the user, the image processor rotates the spherical image corresponding to the movement of the hand or finger of the user based on the instruction information, and adjusts the shooting image displayed on the image display corresponding to the rotation of the spherical image.
