  • Patent number: 11865453
    Abstract: A simulation system includes a processor including hardware. The processor is configured to perform an information acquiring process of acquiring position information about a user moving in a real space; a game process for a game played by the user; a virtual space setting process of setting a virtual space; a display process of generating, as a virtual space image, a display image in which an image of a user character corresponding to the user is displayed at a position in the virtual space corresponding to a position of the user in the real space; and a change process of changing, when a change condition is determined to be satisfied, at least one of the image of the user character corresponding to the user, an image of another user character corresponding to the other user, and an image of an disposed object.

  • Publication number: 20180191990
    Abstract: A projection system includes a projector projecting a projection image, and a processor acquiring position information on at least one of first and second targets based on detection information obtained by a sensor, and performing a process of generating the projection image. The processor performs, when the first target and the second target are determined to have satisfied given relationship based on the position information acquired, a process of changing a content of at least one of a first projection image to be projected onto the first target and a second projection image to be projected onto the second target.

  • Publication number: 20090244064
    Abstract: A game system controls a first virtual camera and a second virtual camera in synchronization so that the second virtual camera photographs an object space in a range that cannot be photographed by the first virtual camera due to a limitation range. The game system draws various images in a first drawing area and a second drawing area while controlling the first virtual camera and the second virtual camera in synchronization.
