Abstract

A three-dimensional user interface apparatus includes a three-dimensional information acquisition unit acquiring three-dimensional information from a three-dimensional sensor; a position calculation unit calculating three-dimensional position information on a three-dimensional coordinate space regarding a specific part of a target person by using the three-dimensional information; a virtual data generation unit generating virtual three-dimensional space data indicating a virtual three-dimensional space which is disposed in the three-dimensional coordinate space and at least part of which is set in a display region; a space processing unit performing a predetermined process corresponding to a change in the three-dimensional position information regarding the specific part of the target person, on the three-dimensional coordinate space or the virtual three-dimensional space data; and a display processing unit displaying the virtual three-dimensional space within the display region on a display unit on the basis of virtual three-dimensional space data obtained through the predetermined process.
