1. A display system comprising:
- a sensor unit that detects the position of a pointing object in contact with a predetermined object, the sensor unit being directly disposed on the predetermined object;
a control apparatus that sets a key layout on the predetermined object and recognizes a key operated by the pointing object based on the position of the pointing object relative to the key layout; and
a display apparatus that is wearable around the head of a user and receives operational input from the operated key, the display apparatus including an image pickup section disposed on the display apparatus in a viewing path of an eye of the user, the image pickup section including a triangular prism and having an image pickup area, whereinthe image pickup section presents predetermined image light visible to the user in the image pickup area, and the image pickup area transmits externally incident light,wherein the sensor unit comprises;
an oscillation detector configured to detect a magnitude of oscillation applied to the predetermined object by the pointing object and to output a signal corresponding to the magnitude of oscillation to a position detector; and
an oscillator configured to oscillate the predetermined object based on the signal, the oscillator oscillating at the magnitude of oscillation controlled by the position detector, andthe magnitude of oscillation physically oscillates the predetermined object in order to provide haptic feedback when the user operates the operated key in the key layout.

16. An operation input method used with a display system, the method comprising:
-
setting a key layout on a predetermined object by using a control apparatus; detecting the position of a pointing object having come into contact with the predetermined object by using a sensor unit, the sensor unit being directly disposed on the predetermined object; detecting a magnitude of oscillation applied to the predetermined object by the pointing object; outputting a signal corresponding to the magnitude of oscillation to a position detector; oscillating the predetermined object based on the signal at the magnitude of oscillation controlled by the position detector; recognizing a key operated by the pointing object based on the position of the pointing object relative to the key layout by using the control apparatus; and receiving operational input from the operated key by using a display apparatus wearable around the head of a user, the display apparatus including an image pickup section disposed on the display apparatus in a viewing path of an eye of the user, the image pickup section including a triangular prism and having an image pickup area, wherein the image pickup section presents predetermined image light visible to the user in the image pickup area, and the image pickup area transmits externally incident light, and the magnitude of oscillation physically oscillates the predetermined object in order to provide haptic feedback when the user operates the operated key in the key layout. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)
