Abstract: An avatar display system in virtual space, an avatar display method in virtual space, and a computer program in which avatar motion data is thinned out within a certain time due to the circumstances of a system and is intermittently distributed. Accordingly, when avatars try to high-touch with each other, the avatars go too far before the hands touch each other in the transmission of coarse motion data, and thus a natural avatar operation cannot be performed. When avatars are intended to perform an operation with contact, such as a high touch operation between the avatars, as the avatars approach each other, a transmission interval in which data required for rendering avatars such as motion data, or rendered avatar data is transmitted from a server to a client terminal is made smaller, and a more natural avatar contact operation can be performed.
