An information perusal program arranges information within a virtual
space, where the information is arranged in uniquely specified storage
positions. The information perusal program detects a position specified
arbitrarily by the user within the virtual space. The information perusal
program then detects an arrangement position within the virtual space in
an area having a virtual spread in relation to the specified position and
acquires information from the storage position corresponding to the
arrangement position. Accordingly, the user is able to easily peruse
information whose storage position is uniquely specified, such as, for
example, a site on the Internet, a local folder and/or file, and so forth
without performing complex and complicated input operations in order to
specify the storage position. In addition, it is possible to easily
realize perusal information without a specific object.
