Information processing apparatus, control method therefor, and storage medium for improving display operability

A method of controlling an information processing apparatus communicatively connected to a display device that displays a spatial image including at least one of a real-space image and a virtual-space image and configured to process information communicated with the display device, the method comprising:

• detecting, as a first detection result, a movement of a hand of a user viewing the spatial image displayed on the display device using the display device;
• detecting, as a second detection result, a position of the hand in association with acquisition of the first detection result;
• and
• switching a function performed by the display device according to the first detection result and the second detection result.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method of controlling an information processing apparatus, the information processing apparatus being communicatively connected to a display device that displays a spatial image including at least one of a real-space image and a virtual-space image and being configured to process information communicated with the display device, the method comprising:

• detecting, as a first detection result, a movement of a hand of a user viewing the spatial image displayed on the display device using the display device;
• detecting, as a second detection result, a position of the hand in association with acquisition of the first detection result;
• and
• switching a function performed by the display device according to the first detection result and the second detection result.
