Abstract
A HMD images at least a portion of a field of view of a user, and detects a user's hand based on a result of an analysis of an imaged image. The HMD performs a control of defining and displaying a position of an operation part of a virtual operation panel based on a position of the detected user's hand. A position associated with the hand observed by the user is set as a display position of the virtual operation panel which tracks the position of the user's hand. The HMD detects an operation conducted by a user's finger, determines whether or not the virtual operation panel is operated based on the operation conducted by the detected finger, and performs a control corresponding to an operation position of the virtual operation panel when it is determined that the virtual operation panel is operated.
