The information processing apparatus comprises: a movement possibility determination unit that determines whether there is a target position to which the operable object can move between the current position of the operable object and the designated position; an object movement unit that removes the restriction on movement of the operable object to move the operable object to the target position on the condition that the target position is determined; and a rendering information generation unit that generates rendering information having a different screen effects between that in the case where the non-operable object exists between the current position and the designated position and the case where the non-operable object does not exist between the current position and the designated position.

Systems and methods of rendering screen effects for movement of objects in a virtual area

An image of a virtual three-dimensional space in which a three-dimensional object is positioned is displayed. A first straight line is calculated on the basis of predetermined two points in the three-dimensional object, and a second straight line orthogonal to the first straight line is further calculated. Then, either one of the first straight line and the second straight line is selected as a rotation axis on the basis of an input performed with the pointing device, and the three-dimensional object is rotated about the rotation axis.

An exemplary group selection screen shows groups in which users share a message, so that any of the groups is selectable. In an avatar display area (Ar) for each group, avatars (Av) of not more than five users belonging to a group, who have recently posted a message, are displayed. An arrangement of the avatars (Av) is determined based on a posting time and date of a latest message posted by each user represented by an avatar (Av). In an avatar display area (Ar), a message included in a balloon is displayed, which message has been posted by a user represented by a displayed avatar (Av).
