Abstract

A method includes defining a virtual space including a virtual point of view associated with a first user and, a first and second object. The method includes defining a field of view based on a position of the virtual point of view and a detected motion of the user. The method includes generating a field-of-view image corresponding to the field of view. The method includes displaying the first object in a first mode; and displaying the second object in a second mode. The method includes detecting a position of gaze of the first user. The method includes detecting contact between the position of gaze and the first object. The method includes displaying the first or second object in a third mode in response to detection of the contact. The method includes moving the position of the virtual point of view to the first object in response to detection of the contact.
