Abstract

A non-transitory storage medium encoded with a computer readable information processing program executed in a computer of an information processing apparatus including an image pick-up unit that picks up an image of a real space is provided. At least one computer is configured to perform operations including generating an augmented reality image by superimposing a virtual space image corresponding to a virtual space that has been picked up by a virtual camera arranged in the virtual space and a real space image corresponding to the real space that has been picked up by the image pick-up unit on each other, recognizing a feature included in the real space image, and controlling, when the real space image includes a feature as a result of recognition, a character object to perform an action at a position associated with the feature included in the real space image.
