Abstract
A detection device includes an optical detector and a controller. The optical detector includes a protrusion including light-emitting portions and light-receiving portions, and detects a position of an object of interest to be detected by receiving, with use of one or more of the light-receiving portions, reflected light that occurs when light emitted from one or more of the light-emitting portions is reflected by the object of interest to be detected. The controller performs predetermined control on the detection device in accordance with a detection result of detecting, by the optical detector, an action when a user contacts the protrusion of the optical detector.
