Abstract
A first sensor detects a movement of a first apparatus attached to a lower body of a user, and a second sensor detects a movement of a second apparatus attached to an upper body of the user or held by a hand of the user. Then, a virtual object is caused to continue a first action in a virtual space while received outputs from the first sensor and the second sensor both satisfy a condition.
Claims21
An information processing system comprising a first apparatus, a second apparatus and an information processing apparatus, wherein:
- the first apparatus is attachable to a first body part of a user and includes:
- a first sensor configured to detect movement of the first apparatus;
- and
- a first transmitter configured to transmit output of the first sensor;
- the second apparatus is manipulable by a second body part of the user and includes:
- a second sensor configured to detect movement of the second apparatus;
- a second transmitter configured to transmit output of the second sensor, wherein:
- the information processing apparatus includes a computer configured to perform operations comprising:
- receiving the outputs transmitted from the first sensor and the second sensor;
- and
- causing a virtual object to perform a first action in a virtual space while the received outputs from the first sensor and the second sensor both satisfy a condition;
- and when the virtual object is performing the first action, the virtual object is caused to perform a second action while the performance of the first action is further based on the output from the second sensor.
An information processing method for use with an information processing system comprising a first apparatus attachable to a first body part of a user and including a first sensor configured to detect movement of the first apparatus and a first transmitter configured to transmit output of the first sensor, and a second apparatus manipulable by a second body part of the user and including a second sensor configured to detect movement of the second apparatus and a second transmitter configured to transmit output of the second sensor, the method comprising:
- receiving outputs transmitted from the first sensor and the second sensor;
- and
- causing a virtual object to perform a first action in a virtual space while the received outputs from the first sensor and the second sensor both satisfy a condition, via a computer included in the information processing system;
- wherein when the virtual object is performing the first action, the virtual object is caused to perform a second action via the computer while the performance of the first action is further based on the output from the second sensor.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions executable by a computer of an information processing system comprising a first apparatus attachable to a first body part of a user and including a first sensor configured to detect movement of the first apparatus and a first transmitter configured to transmit output of the first sensor, and a second apparatus manipulable by a second body part of the user and including a second sensor configured to detect movement of the second apparatus and a second transmitter configured to transmit output of the second sensor, the instructions, when executed, cause the computer to perform operations comprising:
- receiving outputs transmitted from the first sensor and the second sensor;
- and
- causing a virtual object to perform a first action in a virtual space while the received outputs from the first sensor and the second sensor both satisfy a condition, via a computer included in the information processing system;
- wherein when the virtual object is performing the first action, the virtual object is caused to perform a second action via the computer while the performance of the first action is further based on the output from the second sensor.
