Abstract: An example of an information processing apparatus performs, in a virtual space including at least a player character and a terrain object, a control of moving the player character on the terrain object, based on an operation input performed by a player. If it is at least satisfied that the terrain object serving as a ceiling is present above the player character and that a destination, on the terrain object, at which the player character is placeable is present above the ceiling located above the player character, the information processing apparatus moves the player character to the destination, based on an operation input performed by the player.

Abstract: An image taken of a three-dimensional virtual space including a virtual designating object and an object arranged therein is displayed. When the position of the virtual designating object does not coincide with the object, the virtual designating object is arranged in a predetermined orientation. The position of the virtual designating object is determined based on an acquired designated position on a two-dimensional image, which is generated from the three-dimensional virtual space taken by a virtual camera. When the position of the virtual designating object corresponds to the object, the displayed orientation of the virtual designating object is based on the position.

Abstract: A non-limiting example game system includes a game apparatus, and a terminal device and a television are connected to the game apparatus. A game image to be displayed on the television is an image that various kinds of objects arranged in a virtual space are imaged by a virtual camera. A determination object of a three-dimensional shape in a traveling direction of a player object is sequentially moved from a start position that differs for each time to a target position that is decided according to a predetermined rule, and terrain (inclination and height of the ground) in the traveling direction of the player object based on a principal component analysis of a plurality of positions that the determination object collides with a terrain object is determined.

Abstract: An image taken of a virtual space including a user-operable child object and user-inoperable furniture object is stereoscopically displayed on a screen of a stereoscopic image display device. On the other hand, an image taken, of the same virtual space, from the same direction is displayed in a planar manner on a screen of a planar image display device. On the screen of the planar image display device, a child object image, in which a silhouette of the child object displayed on the stereoscopic image display device is displayed. A user touches on the screen of the planar image display device, while seeing the child object displayed on the stereoscopic image display device, thereby operating the child object.

Abstract: Based on posture/motion information obtained from predetermined detection means for detecting a posture or a motion of an input device operated by a user, a virtual plane is calculated at a predetermined timing and set as reference plane. Then, based on motion information, the posture of the input device is calculated as necessary. In accordance with the posture of the input device with respect to the reference plane, predetermined game processing such as moving an object in a virtual space or the like is executed.

Abstract: Based on posture/motion information which is output from predetermined detection means for detecting a posture or a motion of an input device operated by a user, a posture of the input device at a predetermined timing is calculated and stored as a reference posture. Then, based on the posture/motion information, the posture of the input device is constantly calculated as a current posture, and a difference of the current posture from the reference posture is calculated. In addition, based on the difference between the posture/motion information and the posture difference, a re-calculation necessity degree, which represents the necessity degree of re-calculation of the reference posture, is constantly calculated. When the re-calculation necessity degree exceeds a predetermined value, a presentation for urging the re-calculation of the reference posture is made.

Abstract: Based on posture/motion information obtained from predetermined detection means for detecting a posture or a motion of an input device operated by a user, power value data, which is a parameter representing the power to be given to an object is calculated. In addition, a braking power applied to the input device is calculated based on the posture/motion information. Then, the object is moved based on the power value data and the braking value data.

Abstract: Posture/motion information is repeatedly obtained from predetermined detection means for detecting a posture or a motion of an input device operated by a user, and a power value used for moving an object in a virtual space is calculated. In addition, a follow-up power value, which follows the calculated power value, is repeatedly calculated based on the posture/motion information. Then, the object is moved based on the follow-up power value.

Abstract: A game apparatus acquires a designated position Q, on an image, which corresponds to a touch position T detected by a touch panel, and a depth value of the designated position Q. A game apparatus calculates a designated three-dimensional position P in a three-dimensional virtual space, based on the designated position Q on the image and the depth value. The game apparatus next determines an orientation of a cursor object to arrange the cursor object at the calculated designated three-dimensional position P. The game apparatus next uses a virtual camera to take an image of the virtual space including the cursor object, and displays the image on an upper LCD.

Abstract: In response to a predetermined input operation by a player, item object initial information is produced. The item object initial information is information used for introducing an item object into a virtual game world and controlling the item object in the virtual game world. Then, the item object is introduced into the virtual game world, and controlled in the virtual game world according to a predetermined rule. The item object initial information is transmitted to other video game devices. Each of the other video game devices receives the item object initial information, based on which the video game device introduces the item object into the virtual game world and then controls the item object in the virtual game world according to a predetermined rule.
