Abstract: A server apparatus obtains positional information of a first terminal device and photographed image data on an image photographed by using the first terminal device. The server apparatus specifies a target object included in the photographed image data. The server apparatus obtains drawing information indicating content of a drawing process against the target object via the first terminal device. The server apparatus outputs superimposed information to the first terminal device or a second terminal device before a first user of the first terminal device or a second user of the second terminal device photographs the target object to which the content of the drawing process is attached, the superimposed information being used to cause the first terminal device or the second terminal device to superimpose the drawing information onto the target object included in the photographed image data and display the superimposed target object.

Abstract: An AR space image projecting system is configured to: acquire a depth map of an area photographed by a photographing unit; specify at least one three-dimensional object existing in the area; receive designation of a projected image; receive a projection execution input in a state where the projected image is superimposed onto the three-dimensional object and the superimposed projected image is displayed; specify, when the projection execution input is received, onto what position of the three-dimensional object the projected image is projected, and register information on the projected image and information on a projected position so as to be associated with the three-dimensional object information; and superimpose the projected image on the three-dimensional object reflected on a display unit and display the three-dimensional object thus superimposed in a case where the three-dimensional object onto which the projected image is projected is photographed by the photographing unit.

Abstract: A video game processing program product causes a user terminal to realize functions to control progress of a video game. The functions include: an updating function configured to update a position of a character; a first displaying function configured to display, in a normal mode, a normal game screen; and a second displaying function configured to display, in a photographing mode, a photographing game screen based on a photographing operation.
