  "textContent": "Provided is a technique for more accurately calculating a direction to be presented to a guided person using a force sensation presentation device gripped by the guided person, taking into account geomagnetic distortion. A direction calculation apparatus includes a presented direction calculation unit that uses a geomagnetic map including a geomagnetic vector and a gravitational acceleration vector of a reference posture of the force sensation presentation device in a reference coordinate system at a position included in a predetermined range, and uses a first matrix composed of a geomagnetic vector, a gravitational acceleration vector, and an outer product vector of these vectors of the reference posture of the force sensation presentation device in the reference coordinate system at a current position of the force sensation presentation device as well as a second matrix composed of a geomagnetic vector, a gravitational acceleration vector, and an outer product vector of these vectors at a current posture of the force sensation presentation device in the reference coordinate system at the current position of the force sensation presentation device, to calculate, from an instructed force sensation vector in a reference coordinate system indicating a direction to be instructed to the force sensation presentation device, an instructed force sensation vector in a force sensation presentation device coordinate system indicating a direction to be instructed to the force sensation presentation device.",
