  • Patent number: 11543881
    Abstract: A system for displaying an image of a virtual space on a display obtains detection data from position detection sensors, the position detection sensors including a position detection sensor attached to a user. The system calculates a distance between a pair of the position detection sensors based on the detection data, and sets, based on the distance, a boundary for determining a motion of the user. The system determines, when the motion of the user occurs, whether a positional relationship between one of the position detection sensors and the boundary satisfies a condition, and, responsive to the positional relationship satisfying the condition, executes an action corresponding to the motion of the user in the virtual space.

  • Patent number: 10802279
    Abstract: A display system including a display device which is used by being mounted on the head of a player, comprising: a virtual camera specifier that specifies a visual axis and/or a position of a virtual camera in a virtual space, according to a direction and/or a position of the display device; and a displayer that displays an object present in the virtual space, on the display device, according to the visual axis and/or the position of the virtual camera, wherein in a case where there is an object on the visual axis specified by the virtual camera specifier, the displayer additionally displays information associated with the object.

  • Patent number: 10286303
    Abstract: A game system including a display device used by being mounted on the head of a player and a controller, comprising: a first direction specifier that specifies direction and/or position of the display device; a second direction specifier that specifies direction of the controller; a displayer that displays on the display device, a state of a virtual space where a game is in progress, according to the direction and/or the position specified by the first direction specifier and a plurality of first options; a first selector that selects at least one first option from the plurality of first options, according to a relative relationship between the direction of the display device and the direction of the controller; and a game progressor that causes the game to progress according to the selected first option.
