Abstract

Each projector specifies coordinates of a position which is indicated by an indicator, and outputs coordinate information representing the coordinates which are specified, and identification information identifying a display position of the image. An information processing device includes a conversion unit converting the coordinate information into coordinate information representing coordinates in a coordinate system of the information processing device on the basis of the identification information.
