A determination section determines whether or not contact of an object has occurred, based on an orientation, of a controller, calculated by an orientation calculation section. A first waveform generation section generates a first vibration waveform when the determination section determines that the contact of the object has occurred. An audio vibration waveform generation section generates an audio vibration waveform based on a sound signal. An output section outputs the sound signal and outputs a signal representing a combined waveform obtained by the first vibration waveform and the audio vibration waveform based on the sound signal being combined with each other, when the determination section determines that the contact of the object has occurred.

Information processing system, non-transitory storage medium having information processing program stored therein, information processing apparatus, and information processing method

A movement calculation section calculates a movement of a virtual object according to an orientation and/or a motion, of a controller, calculated by an orientation/motion calculation section. A waveform generation section generates a vibration waveform based on a state, of a movement of the virtual object, obtained when the virtual object is in contact with another object, or comes into contact with another object. A waveform output section combines a plurality of vibration waveforms generated by the waveform generation section with each other, and outputs a signal representing a combined waveform obtained by the combination to a vibrator of the controller.
