An information processing apparatus configured to generate position information of a position indication display information item, which is displayed on a display device and indicates a position designated by a user, the position information being generated based on motion information relating to a motion of a first body part of the user that is detected by a detection device, the information processing apparatus comprising: a speed detection unit configured to detect a speed of motion of the first body part of the user based on the motion information; a position information generation unit configured to generate the position information of the position indication display information item by restricting a moving direction of the position indication display information item to a predetermined direction when the speed of motion detected by the speed detection unit meets a predetermined speed condition; an information acquisition unit configured to acquire user position information relating to a physical location of the user from the detection device that detects the physical location of the user in the vicinity of the display device; a position display unit configured to transform the physical location of the user, when the physical location of the user is within a detection range within which the user can be detected, into a corresponding display position on the display device within a display range representing the detection range, and display user position display information representing the user position at the corresponding display position on the display device; and an operation accepting unit (35, 38) configured to accept an operation with respect to application software that is run on the information processing apparatus based on the motion information; wherein the position display unit displays on the display device guidance position display information for guiding the user to an operation position, a physical location at which the user operates display content displayed on the display device based on the motion of the first body part of the user; wherein the information acquisition unit acquires the motion information relating to the motion of the first body part of the user from the detection device; wherein the detection device detects the motion information in addition to the physical location of the user who is positioned at the operation position; wherein the guidance position display information represents the operation position at which the motion information of the first body part of the user can be detected by the detection device and at which the user can operate the application software; and wherein only when the user position display information is displayed in the guidance position display information and the motion information of the user indicates that the user has raised a hand, the position display unit changes a shape of the user position display information into a shape representing the user having the hand raised. a speed detection unit configured to detect a speed of motion of the first body part of the user based on the motion information;
