Information processing method, apparatus, and system for executing the information processing method

An apparatus, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory in communication with the processor, wherein the memory is configured to store instructions, and the processor is configured to execute the instructions for:
• defining a virtual space, the virtual space containing:
• a first player character associated with a first user,
• a second player character associated with a second user, and
• virtual points of view for defining field-of-view images to be provided to a first head-mounted display (HMD) associated with the first user and to a second HMD associated with the second user;
• identifying a first part of the second player character and a second part of the second player character;
• moving the first part in synchronization with a detected movement of the second user;
• displaying the second part in connection with a detected movement of the first part;
• setting a first transparency rate of the first part of the second player character;
• setting a second transparency rate of the second part of the second player character,
• wherein the first part contains at least a head of the second player character and a hand of the second player character,
• wherein movement of the head part of the second player character is controlled in synchronization with a detected movement of a head of the second user, and
• wherein a transparency rate of at least a portion of the second part is greater than the transparency rate of the first part.

A method, comprising:

• defining a virtual space, the virtual space containing:
• a first player character associated with a first user,
• a second player character associated with a second user, and
• virtual points of view for defining field-of-view images to be provided to a first head-mounted display (HMD) associated with the first user and to a second HMD associated with the second user;
• identifying a first part of the second player character and a second part of the second player character;
• moving the first part in synchronization with a detected movement of the second user;
• displaying the second part in connection with a detected movement of the first part;
• setting a first transparency rate of the first part of the second player character;
• setting a second transparency rate of the second part of the second player character, wherein a transparency rate of a position in the second part increases as the position becomes farther away from the first part,
• wherein the first part contains at least a head part of the second player character,
• wherein movement of the head part of the second player character is controlled in synchronization with a detected movement of a head of the second user, and
• wherein a transparency rate of at least a portion of the second part is greater than the transparency rate of the first part.
