Abstract

When a hand of the user is recognized in an image pickup region of a camera, a head mounted display stores a contour shape of the hand which would be imaged by the camera in advance. In addition, the head mounted display receives an input of image data per pixel included in the camera, calculates a difference between colors of adjacent pixels represented by the image data, sets a set of image data having the same color system, where the calculated difference is within a predetermined threshold, as a group, and captures a contour of a region of the data. Next, the head mounted display compares the captured contour to a contour shape of the hand which is stored in advance to allow the user to recognize the hand of the user in the image pickup region.
