In response to determining both that the image display is present in a detected user's gaze direction and that a distance between the user and the image display is shorter than a predetermined distance, the apparatus performs a change process on the image. After performing the change process, the apparatus determines whether or not the distance between the user and the image display is equal to or greater than the predetermined distance, and if so, returns the image back to a state prior to the change process.

  • Publication number: 20170371510
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a display, an operating unit, and a movement controller. The display displays in a form of a display image a portion of information including plural items and moves the display image at a first speed by scrolling so as to display the plural items in a predetermined order. The operating unit accepts a movement instruction operation from a user for moving the display image. The movement controller performs control for reducing a movement speed to a speed lower than the first speed when a line of sight of the user toward the display image changes while the movement controller causes the display image to move.
