A method includes defining a virtual space including a virtual camera; an operation object; and a target object. The method includes detecting a position of a head-mounted device and a position of a part of a body other than a head. The method includes moving the virtual camera in accordance with movement of the head-mounted device. The method includes moving the operation object in accordance with movement of the part of the body. The method includes selecting the target object in accordance with movement of the operation object. Selecting the target object includes correcting a direction or a position of the target object based on a positional relationship between the operation object and the target object; and associating the target object, the corrected direction or the corrected position, with the operation object. The method includes moving the target object in accordance with movement of the operation object.

Information processing method and system for executing the information processing method

A method of displaying a virtual space image on a head-mounted display. The method includes generating a virtual camera space image based on a virtual camera in a virtual space, which has a perspective different from a perspective associated with the user. The method further includes rendering the virtual camera space image into a display object in the virtual space. The method further includes generating a field-of-view image in which the display object is arranged in the virtual space. The method further includes outputting the field-of-view image to the head-mounted display.

Information processing method and program for executing the information processing method on computer

To enable a state of an object to be changed based on a relationship between a line of sight of a user wearing a head-mounted display and a position of the object arranged in a virtual space, a specific object is arranged at a predetermined position in the virtual space. A determination is made whether the specific object is located outside a certain range from the line of sight of the user wearing the head-mounted display for a first predetermined period. Then, when the specific object is located outside the certain range from the line of sight of the user for the first predetermined period, a sound associated with the specific object is generated.

Information processing method and information processing system

To give various movement instructions by body gestures to an object in a virtual space, a method includes detecting movements of controllers held by both hands of a user. The method further includes determining a first movement instruction based on the movements of the controllers. The method further includes causing a first character gazed at by the user to perform a first movement and causing a second character not gazed at by the user to perform a second movement depending on the first movement instruction. With this, instructions are given to the characters in the virtual space by means of body gestures.

A game control device includes a direction obtaining unit, a motion data selection unit, and a user character control unit. In a case where a direction designating operation is performed by a user, the direction obtaining unit obtains a relative direction of the direction designated through the direction designating operation relative to the forward direction of a user character. The motion data selection unit selects any of motion data correlated to a type to which the relative direction obtained by the direction obtaining unit belongs from among the motion data stored in a unit that stores a type of a relative direction relative to the forward direction of the user character and a plurality of kinds of motion data so as to be correlated to each other. The user character control unit causes the user character to perform a motion in accordance with the selected motion data.

Direction obtaining means () obtains pressing-force information relating to pressing forces applied respectively to the plurality of depression units. In a case where a first depression unit and a second depression unit are pressed, the direction obtaining means () obtains a direction between a first basic direction and a second basic direction based on pressing forces applied respectively to the first depression unit and the second depression unit. The direction obtained by the direction obtaining means () in a case where the first depression unit and the second depression unit are pressed changes based on the pressing forces applied respectively to the first depression unit and the second depression unit. Processing executing means () executes processing based on the direction obtained by the direction obtaining means ().

Information processing device, method for controlling information processing device, program, and information storage medium

To provide a game device for allowing a user to concentrate on an operation of one or more specific player characters and also capable of reducing a period of time with the user being left rarely able to be useful in a match. According to the present invention, a game of a sport match carried out between a first team operated by the user and a second team is carried out. A participating player selecting section () selects a plurality of player characters as operation target candidates from among a plurality of player characters belonging to the first team and participating in a match, based on an operation of a user. An operation target player switching section () switches, in the match, a user's operation target among the plurality of player characters selected by the operation target candidate player selecting section (). A player control section () causes, in the match, a player character which is the user's operation target to act, based on an operation by the user.

Game device, method for controlling game device, program, and information storage medium

To provide a game device for presenting to a player inputting the amount of operation while utilizing a gauge, the length of a gauge which corresponds to a desired amount of operation. In a game device in which an object placed in a virtual three dimensional space is moved by a distance according to the displayed length of the gauge when the player carries out a predetermined operation, a target position to which the object is going to be moved is obtained (S), a distance between the target movement position and the present position of the object is calculated (S), and the length of the gauge corresponding to the calculated distance L is calculated based on the distance L (S). Then, the target length of the gauge is presented based on the calculated length of the gauge (S).
