Abstract
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.
