1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
- circuitry configured toinitiate display, at an edge of a display region of a display device, of a first visual marker to be superimposed on a real-world view or captured image of the real world, the edge of the display region of the display device corresponding to a boundary of a visual field of a user currently viewing the real-world view or captured image of the real world, and the first visual marker containing primary information of information associated with a position outside a visual field of the user,initiate display, at the edge of the display region of the display device, of a second visual marker to be superimposed on the same real-world view or captured image of the real world, the second visual marker containing secondary information of the information associated with the position outside the visual field of the user, based on detection of a selection operation for the displayed primary information, andinitiate an outputting of a sound associated with a sound marker as emanating from a sound source position based on a position of the displayed second visual marker in relation to a position of the user,wherein the secondary information includes further detailed information not included in the primary information,wherein the first visual marker and the second visual marker are each displayed at respective locations of the display region to indicate a direction, relative to the user, at which the position outside the visual field of the user is located in the real world, andwherein when the selection operation is detected, the second visual marker is presented to replace the first visual marker for display at the edge of the display region and the first visual marker is removed from being displayed.

22. An information processing method comprising:
-
displaying, at an edge of a display region of a display device, a first visual marker to be superimposed on a real-world view or captured image of the real world, the edge of the display region of the display device corresponding to a boundary of a visual field of a user currently viewing the real-world view or captured image of the real world, and the first visual marker containing primary information of information associated with a position outside a visual field of the user; displaying, at the edge of the display region, a second visual marker to be superimposed on the same real-world view or captured image of the real world, the second visual marker containing secondary information of the information associated with the position outside the visual field of the user, based on detection of a selection operation for the displayed primary information; and outputting a sound associated with a sound marker as emanating from a sound source position based on a position of the displayed second visual marker in relation to a position of the user, wherein the secondary information includes further detailed information not included in the primary information, wherein the first visual marker and the second visual marker are each displayed at respective locations of the display region to indicate a direction, relative to the user, at which the position outside the visual field of the user is located in the real world, and wherein when the selection operation is detected, the second visual marker is presented to replace the first visual marker for display at the edge of the display region and the first visual marker is removed from being displayed.

23. A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodied with a program, which when executed by a computer, causes the computer to perform a method comprising:
-
displaying, at an edge of a display region of a display device, a first visual marker to be superimposed on a real-world view or captured image of the real world, the edge of the display region of the display device corresponding to a boundary of a visual field of a user currently viewing the real-world view or captured image of the real world, and the first visual marker containing primary information of information associated with a position outside a visual field of the user; displaying, at the edge of the display region, a second visual marker to be superimposed on the same real-world view or captured image of the real world, the second visual marker containing secondary information of the information associated with the position outside the visual field of the user, based on detection of a selection operation for the displayed primary information; and outputting a sound associated with a sound marker as emanating from a sound source position based on a position of the displayed second visual marker in relation to a position of the user, wherein the secondary information includes further detailed information not included in the primary information, wherein the first visual marker and the second visual marker are each displayed at respective locations of the display region to indicate a direction, relative to the user, at which the position outside the visual field of the user is located in the real world, and wherein when the selection operation is detected, the second visual marker is presented to replace the first visual marker for display at the edge of the display region and the first visual marker is removed from being displayed.
