Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, in the structure of the presentation system disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-6687 (JP-A-2000-6687), the image of the hand displayed by the display part is generated based on the image data from one camera, thereby only Realize two-dimensional display
Therefore, the user operates the operation switch in the operation part while seeing the image of the hand (displayed on the same plane as the operation menu image), thereby making it difficult to grasp the sense of distance between the operation switch and the hand.
resulting in poor operability
