Abstract: An example of peripheral device adds a predetermined function to a mobile device having an infrared communication function. The peripheral device includes an additional function unit, an infrared communication unit, and a support unit. The additional function unit has the predetermined function. The infrared communication unit is capable of performing infrared communication with the mobile device. The support unit detachably supports the mobile device so that a light emitting/receiving unit for infrared light of the mobile device is positioned so as to be capable of transmitting or receiving infrared light to or from the infrared communication unit.

Abstract: A hand-held electronic device (10) includes an upper housing (21) and a lower housing (11) which are foldable. An upper LCD (22) capable of displaying an image which is stereoscopically visible with naked eyes is provided on an inner side surface of the upper housing (21).

Abstract: A hand-held image display apparatus includes a touch panel, a stereoscopic display apparatus, a first imaging section, and a second imaging section. The hand-held image display apparatus detects a marker from a real world image shot by at least one of the first imaging section and the second imaging section, and determines the relative positions of a virtual object and a pair of virtual cameras with respect to each other in a virtual space, based on the result of the detection. Then, the hand-held image display apparatus superimposes virtual space images drawn based on the first virtual camera and the second virtual camera, onto the real world images shot by the first imaging section and the second imaging section, and displays images that are stereoscopically visible by naked eyes, on the stereoscopic display apparatus.

Abstract: An example display system for playing a video game includes a hand-holdable housing; a liquid crystal display; one or more input devices; a first boot ROM storing code that is executed if a video game program for the video game has a first specification; and a second boot ROM storing code that is executed if a video game program for the video game has a second specification.

Abstract: A game apparatus includes a stereoscopic image display device configured to display a stereoscopic image, which is stereoscopically visible by the naked eye, and a planar image display device configured to display a planar image. A touch panel is provided on a screen of the planar image display device. An image of a silhouette of an object in a virtual space is displayed on the planar image display device. The game apparatus causes the object in the virtual space to move according to a touch operation performed on the image of the silhouette displayed on the screen of the planar image display device, and stereoscopically displays the object on the stereoscopic image display device.

Abstract: A hand-held display system for playing video games includes a housing grippable by a user's hands, a liquid crystal display viewable by the user gripping the housing, input devices operable by the user when the user grips the housing and a connector for, in use, operatively connecting to portable storage media storing video game programs for the video games. First processing circuitry processes video game programs having a first program specification and second processing circuitry processes video game programs having a second program specification.

Abstract: A storage medium includes an ID registration area for storing therein a main body ID which is an ID unique to an information processing apparatus. The information processing apparatus has the main body ID stored therein. The information processing apparatus includes copying means for, when the storage medium is attached thereto, copying a program stored in the storage medium thereinto in the case where the main body ID has not yet been registered. When the copy is made, the main body ID is stored into the ID registration area of the storage medium. The information processing apparatus also includes execution program selecting means for selecting, from the copied program and from the program stored in the storage medium, a program to be executed.

Abstract: An upper LCD capable of displaying an image which is stereoscopically visible with naked eyes is provided on an upper housing of a hand-held electronic device. A 3D adjustment switch for adjusting a parallax of a stereoscopic image is provided on the upper housing. When a slider of the 3D adjustment switch is within a predetermined range between an uppermost position and a position slightly above a lowermost position, the stereoscopic effect of the stereoscopic image is adjusted based on the position of the slider. When the slider of the 3D adjustment switch is at the lowermost position, a planar image corresponding to the stereoscopic image is displayed on the upper LCD.
