Display control system, display control method, computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon display control program, and display control apparatus

A computer implemented display control method using an information processing apparatus having one or more processors for causing a first display device and a second display device other than the first display device to display images, the display control method comprising:

• controlling a first virtual camera based on an operation performed via a first operation device;
• causing the first display device to display an image of a virtual space viewed from the first virtual camera;
• causing the second display device to display an image of the virtual space viewed from the first virtual camera or a second virtual camera which operates in conjunction with the first virtual camera;
• obtaining a position on a screen of the second display device indicated by using a second operation device other than the first operation device;
• calculating, using said one or more computer processor, a position in the virtual space corresponding to the position on the screen of the second display device indicated by using the second operation device;
• and
• arranging a predetermined object at the position calculated in the virtual space
• and displaying an image of the virtual space including the predetermined object on the first display device.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon a display control program including computer executable instructions for causing a first display device and a second display device other than the first display device to display images, the program instructions causing the computer to perform operations comprising:

• controlling a first virtual camera based on an operation performed via a first operation device;
• causing the first display device to display an image of a virtual space viewed from first virtual camera;
• causing the second display device to display an image of the virtual space viewed from the first virtual camera or a second virtual camera which operates in conjunction with the first virtual camera;
• obtaining a position on a screen of the second display device indicated by using a second operation device other than the first operation device;
• calculating a position in the virtual space corresponding to the obtained position on the screen of the second display device, and
• arranging a predetermined object to be displayed at the calculated position in the virtual space on the first display device.

A display control apparatus configured to cause a first display device and a second display device other than the first display device to display images, the display control apparatus comprising:

• a computer system including at least one computer processor, the computer system being configured to perform:
• a virtual camera control configured to control a first virtual camera based on an operation performed via a first operation device;
• a first display control configured to cause the first display device to display an image of a virtual space viewed from the first virtual camera;
• a second display control configured to cause the second display device to display an image of the virtual space viewed from the first virtual camera or a second virtual camera which operates in conjunction with the first virtual camera;
• an indicated position obtainment configured to obtain a position on a screen of the second display device indicated by using a second operation device other than the first operation device;
• a position calculation configured to calculate a position in the virtual space corresponding to the position on the screen of the second display device obtained by the indicated position obtaining section;
• and
• an object arrangement configured to arrange a predetermined virtual object at the position in the virtual space calculated by the position calculation section, wherein
• the first display control causes the first display device to display an image including the predetermined object.
