Computer-readable storage medium having stored therein display control program, display control apparatus, display control system, and display control method

摘要

A game apparatus acquires a designated position Q, on an image, which corresponds to a touch position T detected by a touch panel, and a depth value of the designated position Q. A game apparatus calculates a designated three-dimensional position P in a three-dimensional virtual space, based on the designated position Q on the image and the depth value. The game apparatus next determines an orientation of a cursor object to arrange the cursor object at the calculated designated three-dimensional position P. The game apparatus next uses a virtual camera to take an image of the virtual space including the cursor object, and displays the image on an upper LCD.

主权项

1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein a display control program having computer-executable code or instructions which, when executed by one or more processors of a computerized display control, causes the display control to function and perform operations comprising:
generating an image in which depth values are set, by taking a two-dimensional image of a three-dimensional virtual space by a virtual camera and setting depth values that are associated with each pixel position of the image; acquiring an associated depth value for a pixel of the image corresponding to a designated position on the image, wherein the designated position on the image is provided by a user via an input touch position designation; calculating, based on a depth value associated to the designated position on the image, a spatial position in a depth direction in the virtual space as viewed from the virtual camera; producing a virtual designating object at the calculated spatial position in the depth direction in the virtual space; and displaying, on a first display area, a first image taken of the virtual space which includes the virtual designating object produced therein and displaying a second image on a second display area, the second image being based upon the first image, wherein the input touch position designation is provided via a second display area, which is different from the first display area and which is capable of detecting a touch position on the second display area, and wherein the depth value is acquired based upon the touch position and a corresponding pixel position in the second image displayed on the second display area.
