1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
an object identification unit configured to execute identification processing of a real object in a real world; and
a content display control unit configured to generate an image in which the real object and a virtual object are superimposed,
wherein the object identification unit executes the identification processing including object identification processing of identifying the real object in a display area for the virtual object,
wherein the content display control unit selects the virtual object to be displayed depending on an object identification result identified in the object identification unit,
wherein the virtual object is displayed in a case where the display area for the virtual object is pointed based on user operation information input via an operation unit,
wherein the operation unit includes a bar-shaped member separated from the image processing apparatus, and
wherein the object identification unit and the content display control unit are each implemented via at least one processor.
