Abstract
A control unit controls a movement of a viewpoint-following display area that moves in accordance with the movement of a user's point of regard, and determines whether to cause the viewpoint-following display area to follow the user's point of regard or to stop the viewpoint-following display area from following the user's point of regard, according to the staying time of the user's point of regard. The display apparatus is configured as a three-dimensional display apparatus or a HUD that allows the viewpoint-following display area to be observed in front of a fixed display area. In a case where the staying time of the user's point of regard reaches or exceeds a specified time t set in advance, the control unit does not cause the viewpoint-following display area to follow the user's point of regard, but fixes the viewpoint-following display area for display.
