Abstract
An operation verification apparatus verifies the operation ability of an object for a user's operation. In the operation verification apparatus, an operation-imagination memory section stores operation-imagination information corresponding to a figure of each object in a three-dimensional virtual environment. The operation-imagination information is information relating to an operation method which a user imagines from the figure of a corresponding object. An environment information memory section stores environment information which includes position data and figure data of each object. An operation generation section generates operation method data for the object on which the user operates in accordance with the operation-imagination information and the environment information. A movable region memory section stores movable region data relating to a movable region within which each object can move in the virtual environment. An operation verification section compares the operation method data with the movable region data of the object and verifies whether the object is movable by the operation method.
