Abstract

An information processing device includes an acquisition unit, a setting unit, a determination unit, and a control unit. The acquisition unit acquires an operation angle that is an angle formed by a first direction in a predetermined space pointed by a user and a second direction in the predetermined space pointed by the user. The setting unit sets, as a reference angle, the operation angle acquired at a time point when an instruction to start moving a virtual object on a line extending in the first direction is detected. The determination unit determines whether or not the operation angle acquired in response to a change in the second direction is equal to or more than the reference angle. The control unit controls a display unit to move the virtual object in a depth direction on the line in the first direction and display the virtual object while maintaining a distance between an intersection where the first direction and the second direction intersect and the virtual object on the basis of a determination result of the determination unit. Consequently, the position of a distant virtual object can be finely adjusted at a hand position where the operation is easy.
