Abstract
On the basis of data output from a portable display apparatus, a direction of rotation of the portable display apparatus about a predetermined direction in real space is calculated. Attitudes of an object, placed in a virtual world, and a first virtual camera, for generating an image of the virtual world including at least the object, are controlled such that the object and the first virtual camera rotate in the direction of rotation about a direction that corresponds to the predetermined direction and is set in the virtual world. Then, a first image representing the virtual world viewed from the first virtual camera is displayed on the portable display apparatus.
