Information processing apparatus and information processing method that controls position of displayed object corresponding to a pointing object based on positional relationship between a user and a display region

An information processing method, comprising:

• controlling, by circuitry, a relationship between a first coordinate on a display region, and a second coordinate at which a display object corresponding to a pointing object is displayed on the display region, wherein
• the first coordinate is pointed by the pointing object,
• the relationship between the first coordinate and the second coordinate is based on a positional relationship between
• a first distance from the display region to the pointing object;
• increasing, by the circuitry, a relative distance between the first coordinate and the second coordinate as a second distance between a reference point and the first coordinate increases,
• wherein the reference point is set based on the positional relationship;
• wherein, based on the first distance being shorter than a threshold, the circuitry is further configured to dispose the second coordinate on a side opposite to a side of the reference point;
• and
• wherein, based on the first distance being longer than the threshold, the circuitry is further configured to dispose the second coordinate on a same side as the side of the reference point.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon, computer-executable instructions, which when executed by a computer, cause the computer to execute operations, the operations comprising:

• controlling a relationship between a first coordinate on a display region, and a second coordinate at which a display object corresponding to a pointing object is displayed on the display region, wherein
• the first coordinate is pointed by the pointing object,
• the relationship between the first coordinate and the second coordinate is based on a positional relationship between
• a first distance from the display region to the pointing object;
• increasing, a relative distance between the first coordinate and the second coordinate as a second distance between a reference point and the first coordinate increases,
• wherein the reference point is set based on the positional relationship;
• wherein, based on the first distance being shorter than a threshold, the circuitry is further configured to dispose the second coordinate on a side opposite to a side of the reference point;
• and
• wherein, based on the first distance being longer than the threshold, the circuitry is further configured to dispose the second coordinate on a same side as the side of the reference point.
