1. A display control apparatus comprising:
processing circuitry configured to
acquire information indicative of a position of a head mounted display worn on a head of a user;
render a virtual three-dimensional space and generate an image of the virtual three-dimensional space to be displayed on the head mounted display at a viewpoint position and a sightline direction; and
receive, by a physical input device, input for controlling a location of a character in the virtual three-dimensional space,
display an image of the physical input device at a position in the image determined on a basis of a relative position of the physical input device to the head mounted display, and
generate a locus extending from the image of the physical input device, wherein the circuitry for generating the locus is further configured to
in a first case, calculate the locus based on a physical computation, and
in a second case different from the first case, recalculate, based on a target, the locus calculated based on the physical computation in the first case,
wherein an object is moved based on the locus extending from the image of the physical input device.
