Abstract
A table and an apparatus of the other party as a picture in the actual world are displayed on a picture plane of a portable display, a three-dimensional virtual object generated by computer graphics and so on is displayed on the table, and the shade thereof is displayed on the table. With this, even in the midst of a work in the actual world, it is possible to switch the work simply to a work in the virtual world only by shifting eyes to a picture plane of a portable display. Further, it is possible to grasp the position in the space of a three-dimensional virtual object easily by displaying the shade. It is made so that the work in the virtual world may be performed easily as described even while the work in the actual world is continued.
