1. A virtual object operating method executed by a head mounted display capable of visually recognizing a virtual object arranged at an arbitrary position in a virtual space, the virtual object operating method comprising:
an operation receiving step of receiving an operational input for operating the virtual space or the virtual object;
an external-display cooperating step of causing an external display apparatus in a practical space to cooperate as an apparatus for operating the virtual object in a case where an external-display cooperating operation is received in the operation receiving step;
a virtual object selecting step of selecting a predetermined virtual object from virtual objects arranged at an arbitrary position in the virtual space in a case where a virtual object selecting operation is received in the operation receiving step; and
a virtual object outputting step of outputting information regarding the predetermined virtual object selected in the virtual object selecting step to the external display being caused to cooperate in the external-display cooperating step in a case where a virtual object editing request operation is received in the operation receiving step.
