1. An information processing device comprising:
an acquisition unit that acquires an image in which an object in a real world captured by an imaging device appears;
an image generation unit that generates a first image in which a virtual object appears together with the object in the real world appearing in the image acquired by the acquisition unit and which presents an exterior appearance of the virtual object while a position of the imaging device is set as a view-point;
a display control unit that causes a head-mounted display to display the first image generated by the image generation unit; and
a detection unit that detects a change in a position of the head-mounted display in a height direction,
wherein, in a case in which the position of the head-mounted display in the height direction changes,
the image generation unit generates a second image from which the object in the real world is deleted and which presents the exterior appearance of the virtual object viewed from a new view-point according to the change in the position of the head-mounted display in the height direction, and
the display control unit causes the head-mounted display to display the second image in place of the first image.
