1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:
circuitry configured to:
receive positional information of a real object in a real space;
initiate to display a virtual object in the real space;
initiate to display a virtual indicator; and
control, based on a distance between the real object and the virtual object, a size of the virtual indicator, wherein
a first size of the virtual indicator for a first value of the distance is larger than a second size of the virtual indicator for a second value of the distance, and
the first value of the distance is larger than the second value of the distance.
