Abstract: A method includes defining a virtual space, the virtual space containing a virtual viewpoint, an operation object, and a target object. The method further includes defining a visual field in the virtual space in accordance with a position of the virtual viewpoint in the virtual space. The method further includes generating a visual-field image corresponding to the visual field. The method further includes displaying the visual-field image on the HMD. The method further includes detecting a position of a part of a body of a user associated with the HMD. The method further includes determining that a state of the part of the body satisfies a first condition. The method further includes determining, on condition that the first condition is satisfied, that a state of the part of the body satisfies a second condition different from the first condition, the second condition including a condition that the operation object has yet to select the target object.

Abstract: If a first operation is made, a first object control portion causes a player character object representing a player character to perform a first action. If a second operation is made while the player character object is performing the first action, a second object control portion places a player character object representing the player character in the virtual space separately from the player character object that performs the first action, and causes the separately placed player character object to perform a second action. A display unit displays a screen showing a picture obtained by viewing from a virtual camera the virtual space where the player character object that performs the first action and the player character object that performs the second action are both placed.
