An input apparatus includes: a display; and a detector that detects contactless proximity of an object to the display at first coordinates of the object along a plane of the display, and contact of the object with the display at second coordinates of the object along the plane of the display. When the contactless proximity of the object is detected, and the first coordinates of the object are located within a first distance in the plane of the display from an item, the item is temporarily selected. After the item has been selected temporarily, when the contact of the object is detected, and the second coordinates of the object are located within a second distance in the plane of the display from the item, the item is finally selected. The second distance from the item is longer than the first distance from the item.
