Abstract

A game devicedisplays an image on an upper LCDcapable of producing stereoscopic display using two images. Based on two captured images of a predetermined image-capture object captured respectively by two image-capturing devices, the game devicecalculates a positional relationship between the predetermined image-capture object and each of the image-capturing devices. Then, the game devicedetermines a zero-parallax distance using at least one of the positional relationships so that it is a distance in accordance with a distance from the image-capturing device to the image-capture object, and determines display positions of the two captured images to be displayed on the upper LCDin accordance with the zero-parallax distance. Moreover, the game deviceproduces two virtual images based on two virtual cameras which have been set using the positional relationships, and produces a synthesized image obtained by synthesizing the virtual image with the captured image to display the image on the upper LCD
