1. An apparatus comprising a processing system, including at least one hardware processor, the processing system being operationally coupled to an input device operated in an actual space and including a sensor configured to detect posture and/or motion of the input device, the processing system being configured to control the apparatus to perform operations comprising:

  • obtain input device posture and/or motion information detected by the sensor;

    calculate the posture of the input device in the actual space based on the input device posture and/or motion information;

    set a virtual reference plane in the actual space, the virtual reference plane having an orientation that the processing system sets based on the calculated posture of the input device at a predetermined timing;

    obtain additional input device posture and/or motion information detected by the sensor;

    calculate a further posture of the input device in the actual space based on the additional input device posture and/or motion information detected by the sensor; and

    perform an operation in a virtual space in accordance with the calculated further posture of the input device relative to the set virtual reference plane in the actual space.
