A non-transitory computer-readable medium including a video game processing program for causing a server to perform functions to determine an influence area of an object on a character is provided. The functions includes: a registering function configured to register influence area information in advance, a relationship between a plurality of unit areas around an object when a character is connected to the object and a structural model constituting the character being set for each of the unit areas in the influence area information for each combination of the character and the object; and an outputting function configured to output, in a case where a certain combination of a character and an object is specified, influence area information corresponding to the certain combination.

A rendering system includes a cloud component and a local edge component. The cloud component receives or retrieves legacy data from various sources and preprocesses the data into a format. The local edge component receives the preprocessed data from the cloud component and performs local rendering steps necessary to place the preprocessed data into a form suitable for a game engine. The game engine utilizes the preprocessed data to render an image stream. The system is embodied in a flight simulator.

There is provided an image processing apparatus, an image processing method, and a program capable of detecting an obstacle in a virtual space that is not present in a real space. The image processing apparatus includes a detection unit that detects an obstacle in a virtual space with respect to a virtual camera based on camera position and attitude information identified based on device position and attitude information indicating a position and an attitude in the real space of an imaging device for capturing an image of the virtual space, the camera position and attitude information indicating a position and an attitude of the virtual camera in the virtual space associated with the real space. The present technology can be applied to, for example, image processing for a virtual camera system.

An example of an information processing system controls an action by a player character object in a virtual space in response to an action instruction based on an operation input. When the player character object performs the action, the information processing system defines a hit detection area used for defining whether the action has hit another object other than the player character object at a position that is determined based on the position and the orientation of the player character object in the virtual space, and expands the hit detection area in the depth direction of a virtual camera. If the expanded hit detection area is in contact with the other object, the information processing system performs a process based on the action against the other object.

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for generating and presenting virtual audio for mixed reality systems. A method may include determining a collision between a first object and a second object, wherein the first object comprises a first virtual object. A memory storing one or more audio models can be accessed. It can be determined if the one or more audio models stored in the memory comprises an audio model corresponding to the first object. In accordance with a determination that the one or more audio models comprises an audio model corresponding to the first object, an audio signal can be synthesized, wherein the audio signal is based on the collision and the audio model corresponding to the first object, and the audio signal can be presented to a user via a speaker of a head-wearable device. In accordance with a determination that the one or more audio models does not comprise an audio model corresponding to the first object, an acoustic property of the first object can be determined, a custom audio model based on the acoustic property of the first object can be generated, an audio signal can be synthesized, wherein the audio signal is based on the collision and the custom audio model, and the audio signal can be presented, via a speaker of a head-wearable device, to a user.

A game processing method executed by an information processing device includes moving an ally character on a field in accordance with a player's operation, executing a fight with an enemy character on the field in accordance with the player's operation when the ally character encounters the enemy character, and adding a second motion for vibrating the enemy character to a first motion being executed by the enemy character, when an attack of the ally character hits the enemy character.
