Abstract: An arithmetic apparatus displays a 3D work-target object in a 3D coordinate space on a display device, and receives a motion signal that is a signal representing a motion measured by any one of sensor units. When receiving the motion signal, the arithmetic apparatus identifies the measured motion based on the motion signal. When the identified motion is a motion regarding a spatial shift that is a shift of a viewpoint in the 3D coordinate space of a user, the arithmetic apparatus shifts the viewpoint in the 3D coordinate space of the user in accordance with the identified motion. When the identified motion is a hand motion regarding a work movement with respect to a work target, the arithmetic apparatus outputs output information including information representing the work movement in accordance with the identified motion.
