Abstract:
A spherical background object that is substantially centered around a head of a user and has a predetermined radius is set in a virtual space. Icons are dispersedly disposed in the planes of a first layer, a second layer, a third layer, and a fourth layer, which are concentric spheres encompassed by the background object and different from each other in size. A menu screen is drawn by identifying a normal vector of the face of the user as a line of sight in accordance with posture information related to the user's head, setting a screen in a vertical plane centered around the line of sight, and projecting a virtual space object onto the screen. An icon reached by the line of sight in the menu screen is moved toward the user in the virtual space.

Claim (Index 10):
An operation reception method applied by an information processing apparatus that generates a menu screen including a plurality of icons and receives a selection operation performed by a user, the operation reception method comprising:\n arranging the icons in a virtual space; acquiring posture information related to a head of the user and determining a field-of-view plane with respect to the virtual space in accordance with the acquired posture information; drawing an image to be projected into the virtual space with respect to the field-of-view plane, generating the menu screen over which a cursor indicating point of view of the user is displayed, and outputting the generated menu screen to a display device; and identifying an operation in accordance with a positional relationship between the cursor and an icon image drawn on the menu screen, wherein the arranging the icons is arranging the icons in a spherical background object centered around the head of the user in the virtual space in such a manner that the icons differ from each other in a direction and a distance from the user.
