Abstract
In an object movement simulation apparatus, a collision arithmetic unit performs arithmetic including a detection of two closest points in accordance with information representative of a plurality of objects. An image producing unit produces a three-dimensional image including a virtual object representative of a closest line coupling the two closest points to each other. The image producing unit produces the three-dimensional image, where a viewpoint is moved in a direction vertical to the closest line, looking at the viewpoint after a movement.
