A furniture-type apparatus on which a user can sit includes a leg sensor configured to be disposed on a surface in proximity to user legs and obtain a measurement value representing a displacement of each of the left and right legs as a virtual movement amount of the user in the virtual space, and a back sensor configured to be disposed on a part in proximity to a back of the user and recognize forward movement or backward movement in the virtual space, based on a displacement of the back, wherein the virtual movement amount and a recognition result indicating forward movement or backward movement are output as a virtual movement amount of forward movement or backward movement.
