SYSTEM, PROGRAM, AND METHOD FOR OPERATING SCREEN BY LINKING DISPLAY AND PLURALITY OF CONTROLLERS CONNECTED VIA NETWORK

摘要

An apparatus includes a transmission portion configured to transmit a two-dimensional image to a plurality of controllers through a network. The two-dimensional image is a simplification of a three-dimensional image based on information of a selected application. The transmission portion is further configured to transmit positional information for a first object to the plurality of controllers. The positional information for the first object is receivable from a first controller. The apparatus further includes a reception portion configured to receive positional information for a second object from a second controller through the network based on the positional information for the first object and the two-dimensional image. The apparatus further includes an image generating and outputting portion configured to generate a first image within a three-dimensional virtual space based on the positional information for the first object and the positional information for the second object, and to output the first image.

1. An apparatus, which is configured to output, to a head-mounted display, a first generated image within a three-dimensional virtual space that changes in association with a motion of a head of a first user wearing the head-mounted display, the apparatus being connected to a plurality of portable controllers through a network, the apparatus comprising:
a transmission portion configured to transmit a two-dimensional game image, which is obtained by simplifying a three-dimensional game image of information on an application selected by the first user who operates the apparatus, to the plurality of portable controllers through the network, and to further transmit positional information on a first object operated by the first user in the application being executed by the first user to the plurality of portable controllers through the network; a reception portion configured to receive positional information on a second object operated by a second user who operates one controller among the plurality of portable controllers from the one controller through the network based on the positional information on the first object and the two-dimensional game image obtained by simplifying the three-dimensional game image of the information on the application; and an image generating and outputting portion configured to generate the first generated image within the three-dimensional virtual space, in which the first object and the second object are arranged, based on the positional information on the first object and the received positional information on the second object, and to output the first generated image to the head-mounted display connected to the apparatus.
