Abstract
On the basis of data based on an attitude and/or a motion of a portable display apparatus body, at least a direction of rotation and an amount of rotation of the portable display apparatus about a predetermined direction in real space are calculated, and a corrected amount of rotation is calculated by offsetting the calculated amount of rotation by a predetermined amount. Then, an operation indication direction based on the direction of rotation and the corrected amount of rotation is calculated with respect to a direction that corresponds to the predetermined direction and is set in a virtual world, and predetermined processing is performed on the virtual world. A first image including at least a part of the virtual world is displayed on the portable display apparatus.
