  • Publication number: 20240160377
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a main CPU storage area and a sub-CPU storage area. The information processing apparatus further includes an FPGA capable of processing access to the main CPU storage area by a main CPU and access to the sub-CPU storage area by a second CPU in parallel. The FPGA has an FPGA control unit that performs processing. The FPGA control unit is configured to read prescribed data from an SPI device to the main CPU storage area and the sub-CPU storage area, update the prescribed data of the sub-CPU storage area when receiving an updating request from the sub-CPU, and read the prescribed data of the main CPU storage area to the main CPU when receiving a reading request from the main CPU.

  • Patent number: 9113144
    Abstract: Stereoscopic image generator configured to take images of a virtual three-dimensional space in which an object is located, with a virtual camera, and to generate a stereoscopic image that is composed of an image for a left eye and an image for a right eye between which a disparity is provided, and display controller for causing a display section to display the stereoscopic image generated by the stereoscopic image generator, are provided. In generating the stereoscopic image, the stereoscopic image generator performs correction of decreasing a disparity of the object.

  • Patent number: 9050532
    Abstract: A game apparatus 10 shoots a virtual space in which a virtual object (player object 74, non player object 75, construction object 76, or the like) is present, with a right virtual camera and a left virtual camera, thereby generating an image for a right eye and an image for a left eye, and outputs the image for a right eye and the image for a left eye to an LCD in a stereoscopically visible manner. At this time, if the player object 74 is close to the virtual cameras, the player object 74 is displayed as a silhouette image.
