1. A position indicating device comprising:
a housing;
a pen tip provided at a tip of the housing;
a force generator configured to generate a force; and
a processor configured to control the force generator to (1) generate the force in response to receiving, from a computer controlling a virtual pen tip in a virtual reality space, a control signal while the position indicating device is in a first state corresponding to a position of the virtual pen tip in the virtual reality space being in a predetermined state and (2) stop generation of the force while the position indicating device is in a second state that is unrelated to the position of the virtual pen tip in the virtual reality space.
