Abstract: An exemplary image processing system first writes normal line information and color information into the G buffer and depth information into the depth buffer for a first object. Next, at a time of writing the normal line information into the G buffer for a second object, the exemplary image processing system calculates a difference between the depth information of a first object and the depth information of the second object, and blends the normal line information of the first object with the normal line information of the second object based on the difference, and writes the blended normal line information into the G buffer. The exemplary image processing system then renders an image in a frame buffer based on information stored in the G buffer and light source information.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus has upper and lower LCDs different in width and an inputter such as a touch panel, or the like. A computer of the information processing apparatus displays, out of information being made up of plurality of pages, information of a predetermined page on the upper and lower LCDs so as to be fit into the width of the lower LCD, and displays, when there is a previous or next page previous or next to the predetermined page, a part of the previous or next page at blank potions on both sides of the upper LCD. Then, in response to an input from the inputter, the information of the page displayed on the upper and lower LCDs is switched to the information corresponding to the previous or next page displayed at the blank potions on the upper LCD.

Abstract: In accordance with an operation content indicated by a user's operation data, an amount of scrolling is calculated, and a display range of a table to be displayed on a display apparatus is moved in the table in accordance with the amount of the scrolling. With respect to respective drawing areas, whether or not drawing start points, from which drawing character strings are to be drawn, stay within the display range is determined. When the drawing start point of a drawing area, among the drawing areas, falls outside the display range, the drawing start point of the drawing area is changed to a position which is in the drawing area and also which stays within the display range. The character strings are arranged in the respective drawing areas from the drawing start points set to the respective drawing areas, and the table in the display range is displayed on the display apparatus together with the arranged character strings.

Abstract: A storage medium has stored therein a game program that in game processing, controls a correlation between a player object and a non-player object through a virtual surface that is set on the basis of a marker for generating a superimposed image by combining a real world image and a virtual world image. The game program causes a computer of an apparatus, which includes a display device for providing the superimposed image to a user and an imaging section for taking an image of the marker, to operate as predetermined means.

Abstract: A three-dimensional puzzle game apparatus includes an LCD on which a three-dimensional puzzle is displayed. The three-dimensional puzzle includes a plurality of blocks arranged in each of three-dimensional directions in a virtual three-dimensional space. Furthermore, a hint numeral indicating the number of blocks to be left in a block row is displayed as information being a hint for searching a block to be left from the block row, for example. When a deleting instruction is performed on a block by utilizing a touch panel, for example, it is then determined that whether or not the block is a block to be left. When it is determined that the block is not a block to be left, the block is erased. When it is determined that all the remaining blocks are blocks to be left, it is determined that the three-dimensional puzzle is solved.

Abstract: A game device 10 displays an image on an upper LCD 22 capable of producing stereoscopic display using two images. Based on two captured images of a predetermined image-capture object captured respectively by two image-capturing devices, the game device 10 calculates a positional relationship between the predetermined image-capture object and each of the image-capturing devices. Then, the game device 10 determines a zero-parallax distance using at least one of the positional relationships so that it is a distance in accordance with a distance from the image-capturing device to the image-capture object, and determines display positions of the two captured images to be displayed on the upper LCD 22 in accordance with the zero-parallax distance.

Abstract: An example game device sets a reference distance for a distance from a real camera in an image-capturing direction, and displays a right captured image and a left captured image in a display area so that a reference point, which is a point that is away from the real camera by the reference distance, is displayed at a center in the display area. Thus, when an image produced by using an augmented reality technique is stereoscopically displayed, it is possible to display a virtual image in a manner easy to view.

Abstract: A real camera image of a real space that is captured by a real camera is obtained. Color information about a plurality of sampling points in the real camera image is obtained. Next, an average color is calculated based on the obtained color information about the plurality of sampling points. Based on the calculated average color, parameters relating to the color and brightness of a light source set in a virtual space are set. A virtual object image is generated by capturing, with a virtual camera, an image of a virtual object existing in the virtual space, which virtual object is illuminated by the light source whose parameters have been set. Then, a superimposed image, in which the virtual object image is superimposed on the real camera image, is generated and displayed on a display device.
