1. An input system comprising:
an instruction device;
a detection device which, in operation, detects an instruction position of the instruction device; and
a wearable device provided separately from the detection device,
wherein the wearable device includes:
a display device which, in operation, displays an image of a space;
a position detector which, in operation, detects, in the space, a line-of-sight position in a line-of-sight of the position detector;
a processor; and
a memory storing instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
set, in the space, an instruction target area including a reference position of the instruction device, based on area definition information that is stored by the memory and includes an identifier of an object in the space specified based on the line-of-sight position detected by the position detector at a time of reception of a predetermined operation by the instruction device, and
control the display device based on the instruction target area set in the space.
