Claim 5:
6. A method for operating a robot system that includes: an operating device that receives an operation instruction from an operator and includes a sensor that measures movement of a hand of the operator; a real robot that is installed in a work space and performs a series of works constituted of a plurality of steps; and a display configured to allow the operator to visually recognize a real world and configured to display a virtual robot so as to overlap the real robot, the virtual robot having a shape that corresponds to a shape of the real robot, the method comprising:
displaying, by the display, an operation of the virtual robot based on the operation instruction input from the operating device, such that the virtual robot moves away from the real robot on the display and either only partially overlaps the real robot or does not overlap the real robot at all; and
thereafter, operating the real robot based on the operation instruction input from the operating device when the operation instruction input from the operating device is an instruction to execute an operation of the real robot.
