Even in this case, the user may be able to reflect the movement in the moving image displayed on the HMD2 by moving the input device 100 while holding the grip 11B.
  • the camera for tracking the position and orientation of the input device 100 does not necessarily have to be provided in the HMD2, and may be arranged at a position distant from the user in front.
  • the camera may be attached to an external display device (eg, a television or personal computer monitor) that displays a moving image generated based on the position or orientation of the input device 100.
  • the type of camera for tracking the position and orientation of the input device 100 is not particularly limited.
  • the camera may have an image sensor that detects visible light, or may be an infrared image sensor. Further, the camera may be equipped with a sensor (Dynamic vision sensor, Event Driven Sensor, etc.) that outputs only the information of the pixel that has changed in the entire angle of view.
  • a sensor Dynamic vision sensor, Event Driven Sensor, etc.
