Publication number: 20240126369Abstract: An information processing system determines motion of a hand of a user on the basis of inertial information of a controller held in or mounted on the hand. The information processing system controls a display unit to display a virtual space in which a virtual interface is placed in a real space. The information processing system determines, on the basis of an image-captured image in which the hand is image-captured, whether or not a position of the virtual interface and a position of the hand are in a particular relation. In a case in which the position of the virtual interface and the position of the hand are determined to be in the particular relation in the virtual space, the information processing system changes the display of the virtual interface on the basis of the motion of the hand.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventor: Nao FUJITA
