Information processing system, storage medium storing information processing program, information processing apparatus, and information processing method

An information processing system comprising:

• an input apparatus including at least a first sensor;
• a second sensor;
• and an information processing apparatus, wherein
• the input apparatus is at least partially elastically deformable in response to an external force applied thereto, and is deformable in a direction in which two points on the input apparatus move toward each other and in a direction in which the two points move away from each other,
• the first sensor produces an output corresponding to deformation of the input apparatus,
• the second sensor produces an output corresponding to a motion and/or orientation of the second sensor,
• the information processing apparatus includes at least one processor configured to at least
• obtain first data based on the output of the first sensor and second data based on the output of the second sensor, and
• (I) execute a game process based on the second data while the first data indicates one of a first state in which the input apparatus is deformed in the direction in which the two points move toward each other and a second state in which the input apparatus is deformed in the direction in which the two points move away from each other, and (II) not execute the game process based on the second data while the first data indicates the other one of the first and second states.

• the first sensor produces an output corresponding to deformation of the input apparatus,
• the second sensor produces an output corresponding to a motion and/or orientation of the second sensor, and
• the information processing program causes the computer to execute
• obtaining first data based on the output of the first sensor and second data based on the output of the second sensor, and
