Original Abstract Submitted

A wearable terminal device that is configured to be used by being worn by a user includes at least one processor. The at least one processor detects a visible area for the user in a space. The at least one processor causes a display to display, out of virtual images located in the space, a first virtual image that is located inside the visible area. When a second virtual image located outside the visible area is present, the at least one processor causes the display to perform display indicating in a prescribed manner existence of the second virtual image.
