Abstract
An image generation system includes an image information acquisition section that acquires image information from an image sensor. The image generation system further includes an information acquisition section that acquires position information about a player relative to a display section that displays an image or the image sensor based on the image information. The image generation system further includes a virtual camera control section that controls at least one of a distance between a character corresponding to the player and a virtual camera in a depth direction, a distance between the character and the virtual camera in a height direction, a distance between the character and the virtual camera in a transverse direction, and an angle of view of the virtual camera, based on the position information about the player acquired by the information acquisition section. The image generation system further includes an image generation section that generates an image viewed from the virtual camera in an object space.
