1. A head-mounted display comprising:
- a display section which is configured to cover an eye of the user and which is configured to display an image;
two frame-rod sections which are extended in a predetermined direction from the display section and which are arranged to sandwich temples of the user;
two force-sense generating mechanisms each of which is arranged in the one of the two frame-rod sections to generate a force sense parallel to the predetermined direction, respectively;
a motion sensor which is configured to detect a motion imparted by the user while the two force-sense generating mechanisms impart the force-sense to the user or after the two force-sense generating mechanisms have imparted the force-sense to the user;
a receiver which is configured to receive information from a point which is near from a current position of the user; and
a controller which is configured to control the two force-sense generating mechanisms, and which is configured to recognize an input operation by the user, based on the motion detected by the motion sensor;
wherein the controller is configured to;
recognize a position of the point relative to the current position of the user, based on the information received by the receiver; and
control the force-sense generating mechanisms to generate the force-sense of turning toward the position of the point;
wherein, in a state that the motion sensor detects a translational motion imparted by the user, the translational motion which is the same as the force-sense generated by the two force-sense generating mechanisms, while the two force-sense generating mechanisms impart the force-sense to the user or after the two force-sense generating mechanisms have imparted the force-sense to the user, the controller is configured to recognize the motion as an operation of inputting YES; and
wherein, in a state that the motion sensor detects a translational motion imparted by the user, the translational motion which is different from the force-sense generated by the two force-sense generating mechanisms, while the two force-sense generating mechanisms impart the force-sense to the user or after the two force-sense generating mechanisms have imparted the force-sense to the user, the controller is configured to recognize the motion as an operation of inputting NO.

Abstract
A mobile apparatus which is carriable by a user includes a force-sense generating mechanism which imparts, to the user, a force-sense in a predetermined direction to induce an input operation to the user; a motion sensor which detects a motion imparted by the user while the force-sense generating mechanism imparts the force-sense to the user or after the force-sense generating mechanism has imparted the force-sense to the user; and a controller which controls the force-sense generating mechanism, and which recognizes the input operation by the user, based on the motion detected by the motion sensor.
