Abstract:
1. A control apparatus for controlling display of a pointer based on input information including a three-dimensional movement amount of an input apparatus, the control apparatus comprising: a generation means for generating first coordinate information indicating a position of the pointer by integrating the movement amount of the input apparatus in a first coordinate system corresponding to a real screen, and second coordinate information indicating a virtual position of the pointer by integrating the movement amount of the input apparatus in a second coordinate system corresponding to a virtual screen associated with the first coordinate system; a display control means for controlling the display of the pointer on the real screen in accordance with the first coordinate information and the second coordinate information that have been generated; a storage means for storing a virtual display area on the virtual screen out of a selection operation area as a target of a selection operation by the input apparatus, the virtual display area being stored in association with the second coordinate system; a judgment means for judging whether the generated second coordinate information is within the virtual display area; and a selection control means for controlling the target of the selection operation when the generated second coordinate information is within the virtual display area.
