1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- a sensor configured to acquire positional information of a real object in front of a user of a head-mounted display, the real object being operated by the user in a real space; and
a control unit configured to;
access a program that is recorded in a memory for the head-mounted display;
control, based on the accessed program, the head-mounted display to display a first virtual object over a view of a real world;
acquire the positional information from the sensor;
determine, based on the positional information, a spatial relationship between the real object and the first virtual object;
control the head-mounted display to display a second virtual object over the first virtual object based on the spatial relationship, wherein a position of the second virtual object corresponds to a position of the real object; and
control the head-mounted display to change display of the second virtual object when the spatial relationship between the real object and the first virtual object changes.

Abstract
An information processing apparatus including circuitry configured to acquire information indicating a spatial relationship between a real object and a virtual object, and initiate generation of a user feedback based on the acquired information, the user feedback being displayed to be augmented to a generated image obtained based on capturing by an imaging device, or augmented to a perceived view of the real world, and wherein a characteristic of the user feedback is changed when the spatial relationship between the real object and the virtual object changes.

1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:
-
a sensor configured to acquire positional information of a real object in front of a user of a head-mounted display, the real object being operated by the user in a real space; and a control unit configured to; access a program that is recorded in a memory for the head-mounted display; control, based on the accessed program, the head-mounted display to display a first virtual object over a view of a real world; acquire the positional information from the sensor; determine, based on the positional information, a spatial relationship between the real object and the first virtual object; control the head-mounted display to display a second virtual object over the first virtual object based on the spatial relationship, wherein a position of the second virtual object corresponds to a position of the real object; and control the head-mounted display to change display of the second virtual object when the spatial relationship between the real object and the first virtual object changes. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. An information processing method, comprising:
-
controlling a mobile display terminal to display a first virtual object over a view of a real world; acquiring, from a sensor, positional information of a real object that is operated by a user of the mobile display terminal in a real space; determining, based on the positional information, a spatial relationship between the real object and the first virtual object; controlling the mobile display terminal to display a second virtual object over the first virtual object based on the spatial relationship, wherein a position of the second virtual object corresponds to a position of the real object; and controlling the mobile display terminal to change display of the second virtual object when the spatial relationship between the real object and the first virtual object changes.

26. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions, which when executed by a computer cause the computer to execute operations, the operations comprising:
-
controlling a mobile display terminal to display a first virtual object over a view of a real world; acquiring, from a sensor, positional information of a real object that is operated by a user of the mobile display terminal in a real space; determining, based on the positional information, a spatial relationship between the real object and the first virtual object; controlling the mobile display terminal to display a second virtual object over the first virtual object based on the spatial relationship, wherein a position of the second virtual object corresponds to a position of the real object; and controlling the mobile display terminal to change display of the second virtual object when the spatial relationship between the real object and the first virtual object changes.
