  • Computer-readable storage medium having image processing program stored therein, image processing apparatus, image processing method, and image processing system
    Patent number: 8854358
    Abstract: Provided are a computer-readable storage medium having stored therein an image processing program executed by a computer of an image processing apparatus capable of outputting an image in a stereoscopically visible manner, the program causing the computer to function as sections configured for: acquiring setting information about a virtual stereo camera configured for imaging of a virtual space to provide images for right and left eyes in a stereoscopically visible manner; designating the position of a first object in the space, including a depth-directional position defining the imaging direction; using the information and the depth-directional position to calculate a displacement for a stereoscopically visible image of the object; and translating from a position, the object associated with the above-designated position, along a plane perpendicular to the depth direction, to generate images for right and left eyes each of which includes an image of the translated object, based on the displacement.
