wherein upon a detected movement involving touching of more than one of the plurality of touch-sensitive locations of the touch pad in a first direction during the first operation, a respective display size of each of (i) the image of a currently touched one of the touch-sensitive locations and (ii) the image or images of the other one or ones of the touch-sensitive locations which are currently untouched, change in accordance with the detected movement such that the image of the currently touched location is larger in size than the image or images of the other touch-sensitive location or locations and moves in the first direction with the image or images of the other touch-sensitive location or locations decreasing in size in accordance with a distance from the image of the currently touched one of the touch-sensitive locations.

2. The head-mount device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to confirm selection by the user of the highlighted selectable command of the superposed screen based on detection of a second operation performed by the user via the user operation device.

3. The head-mount device of claim 1 , wherein the content is video content being displayed on the at least one of the one or more display sections of the head-mount device, and the superposed screen is superposed on top of the video content after detection of the first operation by the user via the user operation section of the head-mount device.

4. The head-mount device of claim 3 , wherein the video content includes separate left video content and right video content, and, the one or more display sections include a left display section configured to project the left video content to a left eye of the user and a right display section configured to project the right video content to a right eye of user.

5. The head-mount device of claim 4 , wherein the left display section and the right display section are respectively configured to project the left video content and the right video content in accordance with a 3D format.

6. The head-mount device of claim 4 , wherein the left display section and the right display section are respectively configured to project the left video content and the right video content in an enlarged format.

7. The head-mount device of claim 4 , wherein the left display section and the right display section are respectively configured to project the left video content and the right video content to form a virtual image.

8. The head-mount device of claim 1 , wherein the user operation section is located on an exposed surface of the head mount device.

9. The head-mount device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to confirm selection by the user of the highlighted selectable command of the superposed screen based on a detected movement across the touch pad in a second direction different from the first direction.

10. The head-mount device of claim 1 , wherein the commands of the superposed screen are respectively selectable by the user to control start, stop, volume, and playback direction of the content being received by the user.

11. The head-mount device of claim 1 , further comprising one or more speakers for reproducing audio of the content being received by the user.

12. The head-mount device of claim 1 , wherein the user operation section and the controller are further configured to enable the user to select the selected command by a touching movement from a position of the selected command across the touch pad in a second direction which is orthogonal to the first direction.

13. A computer-implemented method executed by a processor for controlling presentation of content in a head-mount device, the method comprising:

determining one or more coordinates based on a first operation performed by a user on a user operation section of the head-mount device while receiving content via the head-mount device; and

superposing, in response to detection of the first operation by the user, upon at least one of one or more display sections of the head-mount device, a screen including a plurality of items, each item of the superposed screen representing a respective command which is selectable by the user to control the content being received by the user; and

highlighting, based on the one or more coordinates determined upon detection of the first operation, an image of at least one of the one or more selectable commands of the superposed screen in comparison to images of other selectable commands of the superposed screen,

wherein the user operation section includes a touch pad having a plurality of touch-sensitive locations, each touch-sensitive location being associated with a different selectable item of the superposed screen,

wherein upon detection of the first operation, the image of a selected command is highlighted by being displayed in a size larger than the images of the other displayed commands and the images of the other displayed commands being displayed in sizes which decrease in accordance with a distance from the image of the selected command, and

wherein upon a detected movement involving touching of more than one of the plurality of touch-sensitive locations of the touch pad in a first direction during the first operation, a respective display size of each of (i) the image of a currently touched one of the touch-sensitive locations and (ii) the image or images of the other one or ones of the touch-sensitive locations which are currently untouched, change in accordance with the detected movement such that the image of the currently touched location is larger in size than the image or images of the other touch-sensitive location or locations and moves in the first direction with the image or images of the other touch-sensitive location or locations decreasing in size in accordance with a distance from the image of the currently touched one of the touch-sensitive locations.

14. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer executable instructions of a program for controlling presentation of content in a head-mount device, the instructions, when executed by a processor, configuring the processor to:

determine one or more coordinates based on a first operation performed by a user on a user operation section of the head-mount device while receiving content via the head-mount device;

superpose, in response to detection of the first operation by the user, upon at least one of one or more display sections of the head-mount device, a screen including a plurality of items, each item of the superposed screen representing a respective command which is selectable by the user to control the content being received by the user; and

highlight, based on the one or more coordinates determined upon detection of the first operation, an image of at least one of the selectable commands of the superposed screen in comparison to images of other selectable commands of the superposed screen,

wherein the user operation section includes a touch pad having a plurality of touch-sensitive locations, each touch-sensitive location being associated with a different selectable item of the superposed screen,

wherein upon detection of the first operation, the image of a selected command is highlighted by being displayed in a size larger than the images of the other displayed commands and the images of the other displayed commands being displayed in sizes which decrease in accordance with a distance from the image of the selected command, and

wherein upon a detected movement involving touching of more than one of the plurality of touch-sensitive locations of the touch pad in a first direction during the first operation, a respective display size of each of (i) the image of a currently touched one of the touch-sensitive locations and (ii) the image or images of the other one or ones of the touch-sensitive locations which are currently untouched, change in accordance with the detected movement such that the image of the currently touched location is larger in size than the image or images of the other touch-sensitive location or locations and moves in the first direction with the image or images of the other touch-sensitive location or locations decreasing in size in accordance with a distance from the image of the currently touched one of the touch-sensitive locations.
