1. A virtual object display device, comprising:
a display; and
a controller configured to perform display control of the display,
wherein the controller is configured to:
detect a movement amount and a rotation amount of the virtual object display device in a real world,
use an inertial coordinate system in which a coordinate origin thereof follows movement of the virtual object display device and an effective field of view of the display is rotated therein in accordance with rotation of the virtual object display device so as to define an arrangement position of an inertial coordinate system virtual object,
when the inertial coordinate system virtual object is included in the effective field of view of the display, display the inertial coordinate system virtual object within the effective field of view, and
when receiving an input operation related to a front direction of the inertial coordinate system inputted by a user of the virtual object display device, reset the front direction of the inertial coordinate system in accordance with the input operation.
