    Abstract: An information processing apparatus 10 includes an input device 20, a computer 30, and a display 40. The input device 20 is provided so that a dome-shaped operation cover 25 covers an image capturing device included in the input device 20. The computer 30 recognizes a pressing digit that has pressed the operation cover 25 based on a color image of an entire hand which has been captured by the image capturing device, and generates a set command based on the pressing digit. The computer 30 also recognizes an approaching digit that is approaching the operation cover 25 based on the color image, and generates a pre-announcement command based on the digit. The computer 30 executes a process corresponding to each of the commands.
