Non-transitory storage medium encoded with computer readable information processing program, information processing system, information processing apparatus, and method of controlling information processing apparatus that allow processing of operations of character object high in zest

An information processing system comprising:

• an information processing apparatus comprising an image pick-up unit that picks up an image of a real space, wherein
• the information processing apparatus comprises
• at least one computer, and
• a memory,
• the computer
• arranges an object in a virtual space,
• arranges a character object in the virtual space,
• in a case where it is determined that the character object has mastered an action related to the object at least based on arrangement of the object and the character object in the virtual space, stores an indication for the character object and the mastered action in the memory,
• generates an augmented reality image by superimposing a virtual space image corresponding to the virtual space that has been picked up by a virtual camera arranged in the virtual space and a real space image corresponding to the real space that has been picked up by the image pick-up unit on each other,
• recognizes a feature included in the real space image, and
• controls, when the recognized feature the real space image is a feature corresponding the mastered action for the object and after the indication is stored, the character object to perform the mastered action at a position associated with the recognized feature included in the real space image.

An information processing apparatus comprising an image pick-up unit that picks up an image of a real space, the information processing apparatus comprising:

• at least one computer;
• and
• a memory, wherein
• the computer
• arranges an object in a virtual space,
• arranges a character object in the virtual space,
• in a case where it is determined that the character object has mastered an action related to the object at least based on arrangement of the object and the character object in the virtual space, stores an indication in the memory for the character object and the mastered action,
• generates an augmented reality image by superimposing a virtual space image corresponding to the virtual space that has been picked up by a virtual camera arranged in the virtual space and a real space image corresponding to the real space that has been picked up by the image pick-up unit on each other,

• controls, when the recognized feature the real space image is a feature corresponding to the mastered action for the object and after the indication is stored, the character object to perform the mastered action at a position associated with the recognized feature included in the real space image.

A method of controlling an information processing apparatus comprising an image pick-up unit that picks up an image of a real space, the method comprising:

• arranging an object in a virtual space;
• arranging a character object in the virtual space;
• in a case where it is determined that the character object has mastered an action related to the object at least based on arrangement of the object and the character object in the virtual space, storing an indication for the character object and the mastered action in association with each other;
• generating an augmented reality image by superimposing a virtual space image corresponding to the virtual space that has been picked up by a virtual camera arranged in the virtual space and a real space image corresponding to the real space that has been picked up by the image pick-up unit on each other;
• recognizing a feature included in the real space image;
• and
• controlling, when the recognized feature the real space image is a feature corresponding to the mastered action for the object and after the indication is stored, the character object to perform the mastered action at a position associated with the recognized feature included in the real space image.
