## Abstract

To take animations in a virtual space, an animation production system comprising: a virtual camera located in a virtual space; a user input detection unit that detects an input of a user from at least one of a head mounted display and a controller which the user mounted; and an operation panel that starts the animation production function displayed in response to the input.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An animation production system comprising:
a virtual camera located in a virtual space;
a user input detection unit that detects an input of a user from at least one of a head mounted display and a controller which the user has mounted; and
an operation panel that starts an animation production function displayed in response to the input, the operation panel placed within the virtual space.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The animation production system according to claim 1, wherein
the operation panel comprises:
an information display unit; and
a lever for scrolling information displayed on the information display unit in response to an operation performed while gripping.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The animation production system according to claim 1, the animation production system further comprising:
an operation processing unit that displays the operation panel in a position visible to the user in response to the input.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The animation production system according to claim 3, wherein the position is where no other object is placed in the virtual space.
