INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, STORAGE MEDIUM HAVING STORED THEREIN INFORMATION PROCESSING PROGRAM, AND INFORMATION TRANSMISSION/RECEPTION METHOD

摘要

An example of an information processing system includes a plurality of information processing apparatuses each capable of displaying, on a display device, a plurality of panoramic images associated with points on a map. A transmission-side apparatus determines a target point on the basis of an operation of a user, and displays, on a first display device, an image of a partial area, corresponding to a line-of-sight direction determined in accordance with an operation of the user, of a panoramic image associated with the target point. The transmission-side apparatus stores path information regarding a path along which the target point is moved during a predetermined period. A reception-side apparatus acquires the two or more panoramic images identified by the path information stored in the transmission-side apparatus, and displays, on a second display device, the acquired two or more panoramic images in an order identified by the path information.

主权项
