Information processing apparatus, display control method, and program

An information processing method, comprising:

• generating, by a display control unit, display information for controlling a display device to display a first virtual object defined in a virtual space, and a second virtual object different from the first virtual object;
• and
• by a controller,
• controlling the display device to move the first virtual object in the virtual space on the basis of a reference position based on an operation input of a user, controlling, when determining that the reference position of the first virtual object is located inside the second virtual object, the display device to display the first virtual object at a position at which the first virtual object is externally tangent to the second virtual object, and controlling, when determining that an operation to space the first virtual object away from the second virtual object is performed, a display position of the first virtual object such that the reference position and the display position of the first virtual object gradually become the same in association with the operation.

A program that causes a computer to operate as:

• a display control unit that generates display information for controlling a display device to display
• a first virtual object defined in a virtual space, and
• a second virtual object different from the first virtual object;
• and
• a controller that is configured to
• control the display device to move the first virtual object in the virtual space on the basis of a reference position based on an operation input of a user,
• control, when determining that the reference position of the first virtual object is located inside the second virtual object, the display device to display the first virtual object at a position at which the first virtual object is externally tangent to the second virtual object, and
• control, when determining that an operation to space the first virtual object away from the second virtual object is performed, a display position of the first virtual object such that the reference position and the display position of the first virtual object gradually become the same in association with the operation.
