Abstract
In a data input device according to one aspect of the present invention, a position detection unit detects a first position based on a position of one part of a body of a user represented in a video captured by an image capturing device and a second position based on a position of another part of the body. A drawing input detection unit establishes, based on the first position, an input detection region in which a drawing input is detected, and detects, based on whether or not the second position is included in the input detection region, the drawing input. A position-of-interest detection unit detects a position-of-interest corresponding to the second position on an image display plane. An image forming unit forms an image indicating a position-of-interest in a case that the drawing input detection unit detects the drawing input.
