First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus for controlling a display of an image in a 3-dimensional virtual space, comprising:
- a setting part for setting a first coordinate system in a real space including a first real object based on pre-input information associated with the first real object and for setting a second coordinate system in the 3-dimensional virtual space corresponding to the real space based on the first coordinate system;
a construction part for constructing the 3-dimensional virtual space using the second coordinate system set by the setting part; and
a display control part for controlling the display of an image corresponding to the 3-dimensional virtual space constructed by the construction part.

Abstract
An information processing apparatus is provided which allows a user to easily and intuitively manipulate information in a 3-dimensional virtual space. In the information processing apparatus, a main controller sets a first coordinate system in a real space on the basis of information associated with a real object and further sets a second coordinate system in a 3-dimensional virtual space corresponding to the real space on the basis of the first coordinate system. If a user places an input device at a particular position and angle in the first coordinate system with reference to the real object, the main controller places an object in the 3-dimensional virtual space at a place and angle in the second coordinate system corresponding to the place and angle of the input device in the first coordinate system, and the main controller displays an image of the object placed in the 3-dimensional virtual space on a display.
