SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

In the technique disclosed in Patent document 1 described above, the windows whose positions are fixed and that are displayed on the display of the information processing apparatus are controlled.

Here, a head mounted display in which an absolute coordinate for displaying an application (or a window in which the application is displayed) is defined is supposed. In this case, when a user operates the application, it may be necessary for the user to move in accordance with a position associated with an application to be used. As a result, the operation may become complicated.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a head mounted display by which an application can be operated easily.

The foregoing and other objects, and new features of the present invention will become more apparent from the detailed description of the present specification and the appending drawings.

Means for Solving the Problem

Techniques described in the claims are used as means for solving the problem.

In one example, there is provided a head mounted display storing an application. The head mounted display includes: an image pickup unit configured to take an image of a site of a user who wears the head mounted display; a detector configured to detect a position indicated by the user on a basis of the image taken by the image pickup unit; a position specifying unit configured to specify a position and a direction of the head mounted display; and a setting unit configured to set information regarding an operation area on a basis of a result detected by the detector and the position and the direction specified by the position specifying unit, the operation area being an area where the user operates the application.

Effects of the Invention

By using the technique of the present invention, it is possible to operate an application easily.
