In a case where operations to a player character are restricted and a virtual camera is controlled according to event data, motion of the user's head, which is detected by an HMD, is reflected on the direction of the virtual camera that is set based on the event data. As a result, even in a situation where the user cannot operate the player character as he/she wants, images displayed on the HMDmove together with motion of the head. Therefore, it is possible to reduce occurrence of simulator sickness.
