Abstract
A user can intuitively manipulate an object in a virtual reality space while the amount of computation necessary to realize the manipulation is suppressed. An image processing apparatus acquires a manipulation indicating bending of a finger of a hand, detects a contact between the finger and an object in a virtual space, selects, on the basis of an amount of the manipulation indicating the bending of the finger of the hand after the detection of the contact between the object and the finger, whether to set a constraint condition for fixing a relative position between the object and the hand to which the finger belongs or exert a frictional force between the object and the finger, computes a motion of the object on the basis of the selection, and draws the object whose motion is computed.
