Original Abstract Submitted

In a control apparatus, a coordinate reception unit receives spatial coordinates of a detection object located in front of a display surface of a display. A setting unit sets a first determination region associated with first character information included in a first character information group based on coordinates of a first display region in which information on the first character information group is displayed on the display surface and spatial coordinates of the detection object at a reference time that is a time when the first display region is designated by the detection object. After the first determination region is set, a determination unit determines whether or not the detection object is located in the first determination region. A display output unit displays the first character information in the first display region when the determination unit determines that the detection object is located in the first determination region.
