Methods and apparatus provide for carrying out a method for rendering a virtual-three dimensional space on a display, including: acquiring information indicative of a position of a head mounted display worn on a head of a user; acquiring information indicative of a position of an input apparatus for use by the user; acquiring information indicative of an instruction entered in the input apparatus; and generating an image of the virtual three-dimensional space to be displayed on the head mounted display at a viewpoint position and a sightline direction, wherein the generating includes generating an image of the input apparatus at the position in the image determined on a basis of a relative position between the head mounted display of the input apparatus, and wherein the generating includes generating an image of an object which is emitted from the input apparatus in response to the user manipulating the input apparatus.

Display control program, display control apparatus and display control method

A display control apparatus includes: a head mounted display information acquisition block configured to acquire information indicative of a position of a head mounted display worn on a head of a user; an input apparatus information acquisition block configured to acquire information indicative of a position of an input apparatus for use by the user; an instruction input acquisition block configured to acquire information indicative of an instruction entered in the input apparatus; and an image generation block configured to generate an image to be displayed on the head mounted display on a basis of an instruction acquired by the instruction input acquisition block. The image generation block displays an image of the input apparatus at a position in the image determined on a basis of a relative position with the head mounted display of the input apparatus.

Display control apparatus, display control method, and recording medium

Methods and apparatus provide for carrying out a method for rendering a virtual-three dimensional space on a display, including: acquiring information indicative of a position of a head mounted display worn on a head of a user; acquiring information indicative of a position of an input apparatus for use by the user; acquiring information indicative of an instruction entered in the input apparatus; and generating an image of the virtual three-dimensional space to be displayed on the head mounted display at a viewpoint position and a sightline direction, where the generating includes generating an image of the input apparatus at the position in the image determined on a basis of a relative position with the head mounted display of the input apparatus, and where the generating includes generating an image of a hand of the user when the user controls the input apparatus.

Display control apparatus, display control method, and recording medium for setting viewpoint and sightline in a virtual three-dimensional space

Methods and apparatus for controlling a display include: acquiring information indicative of first entered instructions from a first input apparatus used by a first user wearing a head mounted display and information indicative of second entered instructions from a second input apparatus used by a second user enabled to view a display apparatus; controlling, in a virtual three-dimensional space, an event on the basis of one or more of the first entered instructions and the second entered instructions acquired; generating a first image of said virtual three-dimensional space to be displayed on said head mounted display; and generating a second image of said virtual three-dimensional space to be displayed on said display apparatus, where the first image includes the first input apparatus, and where the second image does not include the second input apparatus.

Display control apparatus, display control method, and recording medium for setting viewpoint and sightline in a virtual three- dimensional space

The game apparatus has an instruction input acquisition block configured to acquire information indicative of an entered instruction from a first input apparatus used by a first user whose head wearing a head mounted display on and information indicative of entered instruction from a second input apparatus used by a second user enabled to view a display apparatus; a control block configured to control, in a virtual three-dimensional space, an event on the basis of an instruction acquired by the instruction input acquisition block; a first image generation block configured to generate a first image of the virtual three-dimensional space to be displayed on the head mounted display; and a second image generation block configured to generate a second image of the virtual three-dimensional space to be displayed on the display apparatus.
