A portable, handheld game console includes a main body incorporating a touch-sensitive display screen and a variety of input devices. The input devices can include shoulder buttons located on a peripheral side surface of the main body, as well as input devices located on the main body adjacent the touch-sensitive display screen.

Game console

A hand-held electronic device () includes an upper housing () and a lower housing () which are foldable. An upper LCD () capable of displaying an image which is stereoscopically visible with naked eyes is provided on an inner side surface of the upper housing ().

Hand-held electronic device

A hand-held image display apparatus includes a touch panel, a stereoscopic display apparatus, a first imaging section, and a second imaging section. The hand-held image display apparatus detects a marker from a real world image shot by at least one of the first imaging section and the second imaging section, and determines the relative positions of a virtual object and a pair of virtual cameras with respect to each other in a virtual space, based on the result of the detection. Then, the hand-held image display apparatus superimposes virtual space images drawn based on the first virtual camera and the second virtual camera, onto the real world images shot by the first imaging section and the second imaging section, and displays images that are stereoscopically visible by naked eyes, on the stereoscopic display apparatus.

Image display system, image display apparatus, and image display method

An example portable, handheld game console includes a main body incorporating a first display screen, and a cover body incorporating a second display screen. The main body is hingedly connected to the cover body along adjacent forward and rearward edges, respectively, such that the cover body is movable between closed and open positions. The main body is provided with a plurality of control buttons and a pair of game card slots for receiving game cards of different dimensions. One of the game cards is substantially square and comprises a substantially flat card body having a plurality of electrically conductive terminal strips adjacent the forward edge. One of the side edges of the card has a single continuous step configuration along substantially the entire length dimension of the card. A first notch is formed in a first forward corner of the card where the forward edge meets the other of the pair of side edges and a second notch is formed along the other of the pair of side edges, between the forward and rearward edges.

Game console and memory card

A game apparatus includes a stereoscopic image display device configured to display a stereoscopic image, which is stereoscopically visible by the naked eye, and a planar image display device configured to display a planar image. A touch panel is provided on a screen of the planar image display device. An image of a silhouette of an object in a virtual space is displayed on the planar image display device. The game apparatus causes the object in the virtual space to move according to a touch operation performed on the image of the silhouette displayed on the screen of the planar image display device, and stereoscopically displays the object on the stereoscopic image display device.
