Abstract
When a CPU of a computer in which a cursor display apparatus is incorporated reads out the position of a cursor in a display which is input through an input operation unit, determination is made whether the read out cursor position is inside or outside a stereoscopic image display region of the display. When the read cursor position is within the stereoscopic image display region, bit map image data for two cursors is displayed according to the read cursor position. When the read cursor position is outside the stereoscopic image display region, one cursor is displayed by the OS of the computer according to the read cursor position. Therefore, in a display including a stereoscopic image display region and a plane image display region, a cursor can be displayed in a manner switched between a stereoscopic image and a plane image according to the display region.
