Abstract: In an example of an information processing system, a field in a virtual space is divided into a plurality of sections, and a player character moves in units of the sections on the field. On a game screen, an image of the virtual space based on a virtual camera and a map image representing a range of at least a part of the field are displayed. When a direction of the virtual camera changes, an image representing the field rotates such that an up direction of the map image corresponds to a direction along the field in a direction of the virtual camera. In the map image, the image representing the field, an image representing the player character, images representing the sections, and an image indicating a movable range of the player character are displayed.
Abstract: Based on first data transmitted from a game controller, a game apparatus executes game processing for catching a predetermined game character and transmits, to the game controller, second data corresponding to the game character as a target to be caught. Based on the transmitted second data, the game controller outputs a sound corresponding to the caught game character.

Abstract: In a goggle apparatus, an opening portion is formed, and in a state where an information processing apparatus is attached to the goggle apparatus, a touch operation can be performed on a third area different from a first area and a second area of a touch screen. Then, a left-eye image is displayed in the first area of the touch screen, and a right-eye image having parallax with the left-eye image is at least displayed in the second area of the touch screen. If a touch operation is performed on a position in the third area of the touch screen, a process is executed.
Abstract: A video game apparatus for generating a captured image of a virtual camera set in a virtual space includes a virtual camera setting section configured to set an imaging direction of the virtual camera, a captured image generation section configured to change a transmittance of a transmittance variable object within the virtual space based on an imaging direction of the virtual camera, and generate a captured image of the virtual camera, and a display panel configured to display the captured image generated by the captured image generation section.
Abstract: A first game process that proceeds independently of a second game process related to opponents for a user is performed. State data indicating a second game state of the second game process related to each of a plurality of the opponents is sequentially acquired, and a display image including a first image reflecting a first game state of the first game process and a plurality of second images reflecting the second game states indicated by the state data is sequentially generated. At least one policy is selected on the basis of an operation by the user, a target is specified from among the plurality of the opponents on the basis of the selected policy, and an instruction that changes a game state of the target is made if a game state of the user satisfies a predetermined condition.
Abstract: A non-transitory storage medium encoded with an information processing program executed by a computer of an information processing apparatus connected to a display including first and second display areas according to one aspect, the information processing program causing the computer to perform first representation processing for showing a first image in the first display area and second representation processing for showing a second image in the second display area. In the second representation processing, a color of the second image in the second display area is changed based on the first image shown in the first display area.
Abstract: An example of a controller calculates the orientation of the controller based on an output from an inertial sensor, and when a value representing the calculated orientation satisfies a first condition, compresses data in a mode 2, and when the first condition is not satisfied, but a second condition is satisfied, compresses the data in a mode 1, and when the second condition is not satisfied, compresses the data in a mode 0. Then, the controller transmits the compressed data to another apparatus.
Abstract: A program causes a computer to perform determining a display size for each icon image by scaling each icon image with a length-to-width ratio thereof being maintained such that icon images associated with each row are equal in display height in each row in a menu region and by scaling the icon images as a whole associated with each row at an identical ratio such that a width of the row as a whole obtained by scaling each icon image associated with each row is set to a prescribed length, and showing the menu image in which icons of which icon images are shown with corresponding sizes are arranged for each row.
Abstract: An example computing device includes a touch screen display; wireless communication circuitry; one or more processors; and memory for storing a browser program for displaying web pages on the touch screen display. The one or more processors are configured to execute the browser program to control the computing device to at least: display, on the touch screen display, web pages accessed via the wireless communication circuitry; receive either a first input or a second input to the touch screen, wherein the second input is different from the first input and an initial touch on the touch screen for the first input and for the second input is a link on the displayed web page; in response to the first input, perform a first operation; and in response to the second input, perform a second operation, different from the first operation.
Abstract: An example of an information processing system includes a training apparatus and an information processing apparatus. The information processing apparatus executes a game. The training apparatus includes a sensor and a processor. The sensor detects a load applied on the training apparatus. The processor transmits information relating to the load detected by the sensor as first information to the information processing apparatus while the game is executed. The processor stores information relating to the load detected by the sensor as second information in a storage device integral with or separate from the training apparatus while the game is not executed. The information processing apparatus progresses the game based on the first information received from the training apparatus, and gives a reward that has an influence on the progress of the game to a user of the game based on the second information obtained from the storage device.
Abstract: A method and apparatus that allows a player to play a massively single-player online game without directly interacting with other players, while affecting and being affected by other players playing the online game.
Abstract: A first sensor detects a movement of a first apparatus attached to a lower body of a user, and a second sensor detects a movement of a second apparatus attached to an upper body of the user or held by a hand of the user. Then, a virtual object is caused to continue a first action in a virtual space while received outputs from the first sensor and the second sensor both satisfy a condition.
Abstract: An example of a display system includes a sensor, a projector, and control means. The sensor senses user information for calculating a state regarding sleep of a user. The user information is, for example, biological information such as pulse. The projector projects and displays a predetermined image. The projector, for example, projects the image upward to project and display the image on the ceiling. The control means controls the projector in accordance with a state regarding sleep, which is calculated on the basis of the user information.
Abstract: A game system provides a virtual game space in which plural players play a game. In the virtual game space, if a player object performs a first action on an item appearance area, the game system determines whether a right state of the player object is a first state or a second state, and whether an area state of the item appearance area is a first area state or a second area state. If the right state of the player object is the first state and the area state is the first area state, the game system determines that an item appearance condition is satisfied. If the right state of the player object is the second state or the area state is the second area state, the game system determines that the item appearance condition is not satisfied. If it is determined that the item appearance condition is satisfied, the game system causes a game item to appear in the virtual game space, and changes the right state of the player object to the second state.
