1. A display control device comprising processing circuitry to perform detection of a pedal operation of a vehicle including a brake pedal operation and an accelerator pedal operation, and
to switch a type of a figure representing a meter, out of meters displayed on an instrument panel of the vehicle, whose presentation information is related to the pedal operation depending on a result of the detection of the pedal operation indicating that whether the brake pedal operation is detected, the accelerator pedal operation is detected, or neither the brake pedal operation nor the accelerator pedal operation is detected,
wherein the processing circuitry displays animation indicating transition in shape between types of the figure representing the meter when switching from the type of the figure having a first shape and representing the meter before the result of the detection changes to the type of the figure having a second shape which is different from the first shape and representing the meter after the result of the detection changes when the result of the detection of the pedal operation changes.
