Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and computer-readable recording medium

An information processing method, comprising:

• determining an operation process to a virtual object displayed in an extended work space, based on a result of analysis of input information to the extended work space, wherein the analysis is based on position information of an information terminal detected in the extended work space and display control trigger information for changing display of the virtual object, wherein a real object and the virtual object are operable in the extended work space;
• and
• executing a display control process of the virtual object based on the determined operation process,
• wherein a content item is displayed as the virtual object on a determined surface in the extended work space based on a detection of contact of the information terminal that displays the content item with the determined surface and a movement of the information terminal away from the determined surface.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein, computer-executable instructions for causing a computer to execute operations, the operations comprising:

• in an information processing apparatus configured to control display of a virtual object displayed in an extended work space:
• determining an operation process to the virtual object displayed in the extended work space based on a result of analysis of input information to the extended work space, wherein the analysis is based on position information of an information terminal detected in the extended work space in which a real object and the virtual object are operable, and display control trigger information for changing display of the virtual object;
• and
• executing a display control process of the virtual object based on the determined operation process,
• wherein a content item is displayed as the virtual object on a determined surface in the extended work space based on a detection of contact of the information terminal that displays the content item with the determined surface and a movement of the information terminal away from the determined surface.
