An electronic device includes an acquiring unit configured to acquire a positional relationship between a subject and the electronic device, a normalization unit configured to normalize posture information of the subject based on a positional relationship acquired by the acquiring unit and a controlling unit configured to perform control to perform predetermined notification in a case where posture information of the subject that is normalized satisfies a predetermined condition, and control not to perform the predetermined notification in a case where posture information of the subject that is normalized is not the predetermined posture.

Electronic device and control method thereof

A movement direction of a moving object moving in a virtual space is changed based on at least a component in a first axial direction of a coordinate change of a user's input continuously performed and indicating a coordinate input, with reference to a first reference coordinate point determined by the user's input. A game operation different from a movement of the moving object in the virtual space is determined based on at least a component of the user's input in a second axial direction different from the first axial direction, and is executed.
