Abstract
A terminal apparatus provides a highly convenient user interface. The terminal apparatus includes a designated direction detection unit and a display control unit. The designated direction detection unit detects a designated direction, which is a direction in which the terminal apparatus is directed, with respect to a reference direction as a reference of the direction of the terminal apparatus on the basis of a signal from a sensor that outputs a signal indicating the attitude of the terminal apparatus. The display control unit displays an image, in which the direction in which the object is directed with respect to the reference direction is maintained and the object is disposed at the end of a direction corresponding to the designated direction, on a display device.
