## Abstract

According to an aspect, a display device includes a first display unit, a second display unit, a first detecting unit, a second detecting unit, and a control unit. The first display unit three-dimensionally displays a first display object in a first space. The second display unit three-dimensionally displays a second display object associated with the first display object in a second space. The first detecting unit detects a move of a first object in the first space. The second detecting unit detects a move of a second object in the second space. The control unit changes the first display object and the second display object according to a first move of the first object in the first space.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A display device comprising:

a first detecting unit for detecting a move of a first object in the first space;
a second detecting unit for detecting a move of a second object in the second space; and
a control unit for changing the first display object and the second display object according to a first move of the first object in the first space.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The display device according to claim 1, wherein,
when the first move of the first object in the first space is detected by the first detecting unit and a second move of the second object in the second space is detected by the second detecting unit,
the control unit is configured to change the first display object and the second display object according to a first detected move of the first move and the second move.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The display device according to claim 2, wherein,
when a difference between a time at which the first move is detected and a time at which the second move is detected is smaller than a predetermined time,
the control unit is configured not to change the first display object and the second display object.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The display device according to claim 1, wherein
the first detecting unit is configured to detect a first state in which the first object moves from outside of the first display object to inside thereof, and
the control unit is configured to change, when the first state is detected, the first display object and the second display object according to the move of the first object.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The display device according to claim 1, wherein
the first detecting unit is configured to detect a second state in which the first object is located at a position in contact with the first display object for the longer period of time than the predetermined time, and
the control unit is configured to change, when the second state is detected, the first display object and the second display object according to the move of the first object.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The display device according to claim 1, wherein
the first detecting unit is configured to detect a third state in which the first object is continuously moved from outside of the first display object to inside thereof for the longer period of time than the predetermined time, and
the control unit is configured to change, when the third state is detected, the first display object and the second display object according to the move of the first object.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The display device according to claim 1, wherein
the first detecting unit is configured to detect a fourth state in which the first object is continuously moved from outside of the first display object to inside thereof for the longer period of time than the predetermined time, and
the control unit is configured to start changing the first display object and the second display object when it is detected that the first object is moved to the inside of the first display object.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The display device according to claim 7, wherein,
when the movement of the first object to the inside of the first display object becomes undetectable after the start of changing the first display object and before elapse of the predetermined time,
the control unit is configured to display a reverse change to return the changes of the first display object and the second display object to their original states.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The display device according to claim 1, wherein
the first detecting unit is configured to detect a fifth state in which the first display object is located between the first object and the second object, and
the control unit is configured to change, when the fifth state is detected, the first display object and the second display object.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The display device according to claim 1, wherein
the first detecting unit is configured to detect a sixth state in which the first display object is located between the first object and the second object for the longer period of time than the predetermined time, and
the control unit is configured to change, when the sixth state is detected, the first display object and the second display object.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The display device according to claim 1, wherein
the first detecting unit is configured to detect a seventh state in which the first display object is located between the first object and the second object and a distance between the first object and the second object is not increased for the longer period of time than the predetermined time, and
the control unit is configured to change, when the seventh state is detected, the first display object and the second display object.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

The display device according to claim 1, wherein
the first detecting unit is configured to detect an eighth state in which the first display object is located between the first object and the second object, and thereafter at least one of the first object and the second object is moved and a distance between the first object and the second object is not increased for the longer period of time than the predetermined time, and
the control unit is configured to start changing the first display object and the second display object at a time of detecting the movement.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The display device according to claim 12, wherein,
when it is detected that the first display object is located between the first object and the second object, and thereafter at least one of the first object and the second object is moved and the distance between the first object and the second object is increased before elapse of the predetermined time,
the control unit is configured to display a reverse change to return the changes of the first display object and the second display object to their original states.

### Claim 14 (depends on 2)

The display device according to claim 2, wherein
the control unit is configured to implement a seesaw game by changing the first display object and the second display object according to the first move and the second move.

### Claim 15 (depends on 2)
