Abstract
An exemplary information processing apparatus selectively switches between: first control where control is performed such that, in a virtual space, a position of producing no parallax on a screen of a stereoscopic display is a first position near a predetermined object; and second control where control is performed such that the position of producing no parallax is closer to a viewpoint position of virtual cameras than the first position is.

A computer-readable storage medium having stored therein a program to be executed by an information processing apparatus connected to a display apparatus capable of displaying a stereoscopic image, the program causing a processing section of the information processing apparatus to execute:
- generating a stereoscopic image by photographing, with a plurality of virtual cameras set at a predetermined viewpoint position in a virtual space where a predetermined object is present, the virtual space so as to include the object;
- and outputting the generated stereoscopic image to the display apparatus,
- selective switching being performed between:
- first control where control is performed such that, in the virtual space, a position of producing no parallax on a screen of the display apparatus is a first position near the object;
- and second control where control is performed such that the position of producing no parallax is closer to the viewpoint position than the first position is.
An information processing apparatus comprising
- a display control section for generating a stereoscopic image by photographing, with a plurality of virtual cameras set at a predetermined viewpoint position in a virtual space where a predetermined object is present, the virtual space so as to include the object;
- and for outputting the generated stereoscopic image to a display apparatus capable of displaying a stereoscopic image,
- the display control section selectively switching between:
- first control where control is performed such that, in the virtual space, a position of producing no parallax on a screen of the display apparatus is a first position near the object;
- and second control where control is performed such that the position of producing no parallax is closer to the viewpoint position than the first position is.
An information processing system connected to a display apparatus capable of displaying a stereoscopic image, the information processing system comprising
- a display control section for generating a stereoscopic image by photographing, with a plurality of virtual cameras set at a predetermined viewpoint position in a virtual space where a predetermined object is present, the virtual space so as to include the object;
- and for outputting the generated stereoscopic image to the display apparatus,
- the display control section selectively switching between:
- first control where control is performed such that, in the virtual space, a position of producing no parallax on a screen of the display apparatus is a first position near the object;
- and second control where control is performed such that the position of producing no parallax is closer to the viewpoint position than the first position is.
A method comprising
- generating a stereoscopic image by photographing, with a plurality of virtual cameras set at a predetermined viewpoint position in a virtual space where a predetermined object is present, the virtual space so as to include the object;
- and for outputting the generated stereoscopic image to a display apparatus capable of displaying a stereoscopic image,
- selective switching being performed between:
- first control where control is performed such that, in the virtual space, a position of producing no parallax on a screen of the display apparatus is a first position near the object;
- and second control where control is performed such that the position of producing no parallax is closer to the viewpoint position than the first position is.
An information processing system connected to a display apparatus capable of displaying a stereoscopic image, the information processing system comprising
- a display control section for generating a stereoscopic image by photographing a virtual space with a plurality of virtual cameras set at a predetermined viewpoint position in the virtual space where an object is present;
- and for outputting the generated stereoscopic image to the display apparatus,
- the display control section changing, in the virtual space, a position of producing no parallax on a screen of the display apparatus, such that the position is located further away from the viewpoint position, the display control section also narrowing a distance between the plurality of virtual cameras.
An information processing system connected to a display apparatus capable of displaying a stereoscopic image, the information processing system comprising
- a display control section for generating a stereoscopic image by photographing a virtual space with a plurality of virtual cameras set at a predetermined viewpoint position in the virtual space where an object is present;
- and for outputting the generated stereoscopic image to the display apparatus,
- the display control section changing, in the virtual space, a position of producing no parallax on a screen of the display apparatus, such that the position is located closer to the viewpoint position, the display control section also widening a distance between the plurality of virtual cameras.
