A configuration is realized with which, in various kinds of display apparatus such as a PC and a portable telephone having a display section, non-displayed data that extends off the area of the display section is displayed as a virtual object at a position contiguous to the display data of the display section. This configuration allows the user to always observe and view not only data displayed on a limited display area of a PC or the like but also data that has gone off the display section, thereby enhancing data processing efficiency. | 2012-02-09 |
