Abstract
An estimator () estimates whether an object is on the line of sight of the user. When a first object is estimated as being on the line of sight of the user continuously for a first threshold time, set for the user, or longer, a displayer () displays a second object in the field of view of the user. The second object expresses information about the first object. When the second object is estimated as not being on the line of sight of the user continuously for a second threshold time, set for the user, or longer, a remover () removes the second object from the field of view of the user. A corrector () corrects the first threshold time according to the length of viewing time that the second object is estimated as being on the line of sight of the user. Here, the first threshold time is set for the user.
