Abstract

An information processing method using a terminal apparatus, including: applying light with a concentric ring-like interference fringe pattern on one of subjects by using a pointer provided in the terminal apparatus; detecting the interference fringe pattern by using a detector; calculating an optical axis of the pointer on the basis of a detection signal obtained from the detector; specifying attribute information of the subject on the basis of arrangement information of the subject intersected by the optical axis in the condition that arrangement information of the subjects and attribute information of the subjects are stored in a storage device in advance while the arrangement information of each subject and the attribute information of the subject are associated with each other; and displaying the attribute information of the specified subject on the terminal apparatus.
