A virtual reality apparatus comprises an image generator to generate virtual environment images representing a virtual environment, at least some being for display to a user by a head mountable display to be worn by that user, a camera to capture one or more images and an image combiner to combine one or more of the captured images with one or more of the virtual environment images. The camera may be a depth camera and the image generator may be controlled by the user to vary the viewpoint used to generate some of the virtual images. The captured image may be processed by a background removal module prior to insertion or part of the image may be replaced with other image material.
