  • Publication number: 20230086477
    Abstract: An example of an information processing apparatus performs, in a predetermined area in a virtual space, editing including at least one of selecting a placement object to be placed in the area, placing the placement object, and moving the placement object, based on an operation input. The information processing apparatus performs presentation upon completion, which includes at least one scene and displays, for each scene, an image of the area based on a virtual camera. In the scene, the information processing apparatus sets a gaze point of the virtual camera at any of a position of the placement object placed in the area, a predetermined position in the area, and a position of a character arranged in the area, and sets the virtual camera at a position at which the placement object placed in the area is not placed.

  • Publication number: 20230092388
    Abstract: An example of an information processing apparatus performs, in a predetermined area (e.g., a room) in a virtual space, editing including at least one of selecting a placement object to be placed in the area, placing the placement object, and moving the placement object, on the basis of an operation input. The information processing apparatus counts an editing time during which the editing is performed. The information processing apparatus stores, in a memory, arrangement data indicating arrangement of the placement object in the predetermined area. The information processing apparatus performs evaluation of the editing, based on at least the editing time such that a lower evaluation is given when the editing time is shorter than when the editing time is longer.

  • Publication number: 20200046772
    Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a chondrogenesis promoter that is safe and exhibits a chondrogenesis-promoting effect by daily ingestion. It is also an object of the invention to provide a proteoglycan synthesis promoter that exhibits a proteoglycan synthesis-promoting effect by ingestion. Provided are a chondrogenesis promoter and a proteoglycan synthesis promoter each containing a milk-derived basic protein fraction as an active ingredient. Synthesis of proteoglycan and formation of a cartilage can be promoted by oral ingestion of the milk-derived basic protein fraction. A hydrolysate of the milk-derived basic protein fraction also has a similar chondrogenesis-promoting effect.
