Abstract

A projection device includes a camera that captures an image of a real space in which an object is disposed and a projector that projects an image indicated by video data generated based on the captured image by the camera onto an image capturing region of the camera in the real space. The video data is, for example, a pointing image such as an arrow or a finger point pointing to an object disposed in the real space. The projection device detects the object by image recognition from the captured image and generates video data for displaying a pointing image pointing to the object at a position superimposed on or adjacent to the object. When the image indicated by the video data generated is projected from the projector, the pointing image is displayed at a position superimposed on or adjacent to the object in the real space.
