An input processing apparatus comprising:

• a display device configured to display an image obtained by viewing a three-dimensional virtual space from a virtual camera, an object appearing in the three-dimensional virtual space;
• a pointing device configured to point a position on a screen of the display device;
• a first camera setter configured to set a value of a parameter of the virtual camera;
• a first display device configured to cause the display device to display the image as viewed from the virtual camera in accordance with the parameter set by the first camera setter;
• an object identifier configured to identify an object corresponding to a position on the screen, the position pointed by the pointing device while the image as viewed from the virtual camera is being displayed by the first display device;
• a second camera setter configured to change the value of the parameter of the virtual camera so as to zoom in and display the identified object;
• and
• a second display device configured to cause the display device to display the image as viewed from the virtual camera in accordance with the changed parameter.
