An example of an information processing system includes a server capable of communicating with a terminal device. The server stores information representing a choice probability, for each of a plurality of objects in the application, for a draw whereby a user obtains an object. The information processing system accepts an instruction of specifying a relevant object to be associated with the draw. The server alters the choice probability at least for some of the objects depending on the relevant object. In response to a draw instruction, the server chooses at least one object from among the objects that can be obtained through a draw based on the choice probability obtained by altering the choice probability. The server awards one or more of the chosen objects to the user.

An example of a controller includes a housing including an opening, and an operation member, a part of which is exposed through the opening. The operation member includes a key top exposed through the opening and operated by a user, a shaft portion extending downward from the key top, and a protruding portion protruding from the shaft portion. Further, in the housing, a pedestal with which the protruding portion of the operation member comes into contact when the operation member is tilted is provided. The tilt of the operation member is limited by the protruding portion coming into contact with the pedestal.

A behavior of a character arranged in a virtual space is produced. The behavior of the character is produced in a first part, based on data including motion data obtained by a capture of a motion of a performer who plays the character, and the behavior of the character is produced in a second part, based on data depending on an input from the performer, the input obtained in a mode different from the capture. The character viewed from a predetermined point of view in the virtual space is capable of being displayed on a predetermined display unit.

A timer period is set on the basis of a user input, and counting processing of counting a time is executed during the timer period. During the timer period, game processing including control of a virtual object is executed. A count image indicating a state of the counting and a game image by the game processing are outputted to a display unit. Here, during the game processing, the control of the virtual object is switched between manual control based on a user input and automatic control that is not based on the user input.

There is provided a program, a recognition apparatus, and a recognition method that make it possible to improve a recognition accuracy of a hand recognition process. As a hand recognition process for recognizing, according to a posture of a portable terminal including an optical sensor that receives light, a hand reflected in an image obtained by sensing of the optical sensor, a hand recognition process for the left hand or a hand recognition process for the right hand is performed. The present technology can be applied to a case in which a hand is recognized.

A control program for a game device having a storage unit configured to store points associated with players. The game device may receive a request by a player to designate at least a portion of the points associated with the first player as region points of the first player, which may in turn be correlated with a game region designated by the first player. When the first player has the most points for a particular game region, the game region may be set to be a region of the first player. When the first player disposes a first and second game region in a predetermined arrangement, such that the first and second game region has game regions between them, the game regions between the first and second game region may have their point values swapped to put the first player on top.
