Claim 7:
8. An input apparatus for detecting a gesture operation made by a hand of a user to perform input processing on an input position of a display screen, the input apparatus comprising:
an acquisition circuit that acquires a captured image obtained by capturing an image of the user;
a detection circuit that detects a first hand of the user from the captured image acquired by the acquisition circuit; and
a display circuit that displays, on the display screen, notification information corresponding to a distance between the first hand and a second hand of the user, different from the first hand, when the second hand is detected during tracking of the first hand detected by the detection circuit, wherein;
when an operation area capable of receiving the gesture operation is set in the captured image, the display circuit displays, on the display screen, the notification information according to a first distance between the first hand and the second hand, and according to a second distance between the second hand and the operation area, and
the display circuit further displays, on the display screen, a second image surrounding the second hand to be superimposed on the captured image, in a display manner according to a shorter of the first distance and the second distance.
