1. An image generation system which generates a stereoscopic image, the image generation system comprising:
an image generation section which generates an image of a graphic object for a left eye by rendering a projection of each point of the graphic object onto a base surface which is not orthogonal to a line-of-sight direction, in a projection direction linking a viewpoint position for the left eye to each point of the graphic object within an object space, and also generates an image of the graphic object for a right eye by rendering a projection of each point of the graphic object onto the base surface, in a projection direction linking a viewpoint position for the right eye to each point of the graphic object within the object space; and
a stereoscopic image generation section which generates a stereoscopic image based on the image for the left eye and the image for the right eye.
