Abstract: An example game system includes a plurality of types of sub devices, and a main device capable of being attached to and detached from any of the sub devices, and executes a game application. The game system determines the type of the sub device to which the main device is attached while the game application is being executed. The game system executes a game process based on a game operation performed by using the main device and/or the sub device to which the main device is attached while the game application is being executed. The game system executes a game process depending on the determined type of the sub device.

Abstract: A game system that is a non-limiting example information processing system includes a game apparatus, and an input device and a television are connected to the game apparatus. If graphics software is executed and coloring processing is started, a virtual object is displayed, and when a mask mode is set, a real space is imaged by an infrared imaging unit provided on the input device. A candidate image based on an imaging result is generated, and according to a fixing instruction by a user, the candidate image is fixedly displayed, as a mask image, in the front of an image including the virtual object. When a coloring instruction is input, an area of the virtual object image not overlapping with the mask image is colored and color information of the virtual object image is updated, whereas, an area overlapping with the mask image is not colored and the update of the color information is restricted.

Abstract: This case is a case configured to accommodate a controller, the controller including: a first main surface; a second main surface provided on a side opposite to the first main surface; a first side surface and a second side surface provided on both ends in a longer direction of the first main surface and the second main surface; and a first side end surface and a second side end surface provided on both ends in a shorter direction of the first main surface and the second main surface. The controller further includes: a first operation portion provided on the first main surface; a second operation portion provided on the first end surface; a third operation portion provided on the second main surface; and an image capturing section provided on the second end surface.

Abstract: A first grounded portion is at least one of portions of an apparatus that are grounded, and vibrates in accordance with a vibration of at least a first vibration unit. A second grounded portion is at least one of the portions of the apparatus that are grounded, and vibrates in accordance with a vibration of at least a second vibration unit. Then, a first control signal for controlling the vibration of the first vibration unit and a second control signal for controlling the vibration of the second vibration unit are generated, whereby, in a state where the apparatus is on a certain surface, the apparatus moves on the certain surface by a vibration of the first grounded portion grounded on the certain surface and/or a vibration of the second grounded portion grounded on the certain surface.

Abstract: A data transmission device that includes an image capturing unit and transmits data generated based on an image captured by the image capturing unit is allowed to be located at a case while at least a part of the data transmission device is accommodated in the case, such that an image capturing direction of the image capturing unit is directed toward an inner space of a case main body. An image capturing target member movable in the inner space of the case main body in accordance with an operation made from outside of the case main body is located at a position where an image of the image capturing target member is allowed to be captured by the image capturing unit. Based on the transmitted data, an information process is executed.
