Abstract: An information processing device obtains information regarding the position of each fingertip of a user in a real space, and determines contact between a virtual object set within a virtual space and a finger of the user. The information processing device sets the virtual object in a partly deformed state such that a part of the virtual object, the part corresponding to the position of the finger determined to be in contact with the object among the fingers of the user, is located more to a far side from a user side than the finger, and displays the virtual object having the shape set thereto as an image in the virtual space on a display device.

Abstract: A computer system and method for presenting windows in a dynamic menu are provided. The dynamic menu presents windows corresponding to an active application according to a first order, whereby windows are arranged based on recent interaction. The dynamic menu also presents windows corresponding to one or more inactive applications according to a second order, whereby windows are arranged based on relevance to a user of the computer system. The windows are presented in a first presentation state, and are expanded to a second presentation state or a third presentation state in response to user interaction. The third presentation state is reached via the second presentation state, thereby reducing latency and complexity of menu navigation.

Abstract: Moving images of a space, which includes objects 34 and 35 of a display target, as viewed from reference points are created in advance as reference images, and they are combined in response to actual positions of the points of view to draw a moving image. When the object 35 is displaced as indicated by an arrow mark in the space, reference points of view 30a to 30e are fixed as depicted in (a). Alternatively, the reference points of view are displaced in response to the displacement like reference points of view 36a to 36e in (b). Then, the moving images from the reference points of view are generated as the reference images.
