Abstract: The present invention addresses the problem of providing an ?-gel formation composition and an ?-gel composition that uses the ?-gel formation composition, wherein said compositions are highly stable, do not deposit crystals, become more viscous over time, and, when used in a preparations for external use, are refreshing during application and have high skin-moisturizing action after application. A gel composition that includes a polyoxyethylene dialkyl ester and/or a polyoxyethylene dialkyl ether, a polyoxyethylene alkyl ester and/or a polyoxyethylene alkyl ether, and, preferably, a polyoxyethylene sterol ether and water.

Abstract: This image processing device for games is a device whereby a prescribed number of models (characters) are setup in virtual space, these models are controlled such that they move in prescribed directions in the virtual space, and images of this virtual space from a virtual viewpoint are displayed on means for display. In order to display the movement of the models that are arranged in virtual space more realistically, in one construction thereof, this device is provided with means for image processing that apply virtual centripetal force to the models. Furthermore, in order to display the movement of the models more realistically and to heighten the dramatic effect, in one construction thereof, this device is equipped with means for processing residual image presentation in order to represent the track of movement of a model as residual images.
