Abstract
An information processing device includes a control unit that performs control to output information regarding an image of a user viewpoint in a virtual space to a user terminal, in which the control unit acquires a characteristic of at least one user related to an event performed in the virtual space and controls movement of a position of an indicator corresponding to a performer in the virtual space based on a position of an indicator corresponding to at least one user whose characteristic satisfies a condition.
Claims8
An information processing system comprising:
- circuitry configured to
- control output of information regarding an image of a user viewpoint in a virtual space to a user terminal,
- receive a characteristic of at least one user related to an event performed in the virtual space,
- control movement of a position of an indicator corresponding to a performer in the virtual space based on a position of an indicator corresponding to at least one user whose characteristic satisfies a condition,
- wherein the indicator corresponding to each user includes an image of a user avatar, and
- wherein the indicator corresponding to the performer includes an image of a performer avatar, and
- control movement of the position of the performer avatar in such a way as to pass near the position of each user avatar of the at least one user avatar corresponding to each user of the at least one user whose characteristic satisfies the condition in the virtual space.
An information processing terminal comprising:
- circuitry configured to
- control display of an image of a user viewpoint in a virtual space on a display,
- receive a characteristic of a user related to an event performed in the virtual space,
- control movement of a position of an indicator corresponding to a performer in the virtual space based on a position of an indicator corresponding to the user in a case where the characteristic satisfies a condition,
- wherein the indicator corresponding to each user includes an image of a user avatar, and
- wherein the indicator corresponding to the performer includes an image of a performer avatar, and
- control movement of the position of the performer avatar in such a way as to pass near the position of each user avatar of the at least one user avatar corresponding to each user of the at least one user whose characteristic satisfies the condition in the virtual space.
An information processing method executed by a processor, the information processing method comprising:
- controlling output of information regarding an image of a user viewpoint in a virtual space to a user terminal;
- receiving a characteristic of at least one user related to an event performed in the virtual space;
- controlling movement of a position of an indicator corresponding to a performer in the virtual space based on a position of an indicator corresponding to at least one user whose characteristic satisfies a condition,
- wherein the indicator corresponding to each user includes an image of a user avatar, and
- wherein the indicator corresponding to the performer includes an image of a performer avatar;
- and
- controlling movement of the position of the performer avatar in such a way as to pass near the position of each user avatar of the at least one user avatar corresponding to each user of the at least one user whose characteristic satisfies the condition in the virtual space.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having embodied thereon a program, which when executed by a computer causes the computer to execute a method, the method comprising:
- controlling output of information regarding an image of a user viewpoint in a virtual space to a user terminal;
- receiving a characteristic of at least one user related to an event performed in the virtual space;
- controlling movement of a position of an indicator corresponding to a performer in the virtual space based on a position of an indicator corresponding to at least one user whose characteristic satisfies a condition,
- wherein the indicator corresponding to each user includes an image of a user avatar, and
- wherein the indicator corresponding to the performer includes an image of a performer avatar;
- and
- controlling the position of the performer avatar in such a way as to sequentially pass near the position of each user avatar of the at least one user avatar corresponding to each user of the at least one user whose characteristic satisfies the condition in the virtual space.
