Abstract

While a user is enabled to intuitively manipulate an object in a virtual reality space, the amount of computation necessary for realizing these manipulations is reduced. An image processing apparatus acquires a motion of a finger of a hand, detects contact between the finger and an object in a virtual space, detects the number of fingers touching the object in the virtual space and, on the basis of the detected number of fingers, determines an interaction parameter for obtaining an interaction between the finger and the object, computes a motion of the object on the basis of the determined interaction parameter, and draws an object with the motion computed.
