The present disclosure provides an information processing method, including: providing an attack control on a graphical user interface, and in response to a first touch operation acting on the attack control, controlling a first virtual character to execute an attack instruction in a game scene; providing a sub-control of a build control on the graphical user interface, providing the build control on the graphical user interface in response to a second touch operation acting on the sub-control of the build control, and controlling the first virtual character to execute a build instruction in a first building area of the game scene.

The disclosed implementations describe techniques and workflows for a computer graphics (CG) animation system. In some implementations, systems and methods are disclosed for representing scene composition and performing underlying computations within a unified generalized expression graph with cycles. Disclosed are natural mechanisms for level-of-detail control, adaptive caching, minimal re-compute, lazy evaluation, predictive computation and progressive refinement. The disclosed implementations provide real-time guarantees for minimum graphics frame rates and support automatic tradeoffs between rendering quality, accuracy and speed. The disclosed implementations also support new workflow paradigms, including layered animation and motion-path manipulation of articulated bodies.

Techniques for providing an immersive storytelling experience using a plurality of storytelling devices. Each of the storytelling devices may be configured to perform one or more actions based on a current context of a story and in response to a stimulus event. The actions include at least one of an auditory and a visual effect. Embodiments also provide a controller device configured to manage a playback of the story, by adjusting the stimulus event and the effect of each of the plurality of storytelling devices, based on the current context of the story, thereby creating an interactive and immersive storytelling experience.

Provided are a program, a control method, and an information processing apparatus which may provide an improved user interface on which a user may easily and efficiently execute various processes on a game content. The information processing apparatus may be caused to execute a game content specifying step of specifying a selected game content on the basis of first input operation data from an operation unit, a step of retrieving information from a storage unit, a step of specifying a direction from a start point to an end point of a second input operation on the basis of second input operation data from an operation unit, and an execution step of executing one process associated with the direction from the start point to the end point of the second input operation in the information from the storage unit on the selected game content.

A gaming system and method for integrating tactile feedback into a virtual reality environment as viewed by a virtual reality viewer is disclosed. A physical object, which may be a physical button panel, such as a button panel printed on paper, dice, playing cards, coins or chips, a floor or any other tangible object, has a view thereof incorporated into the virtual reality environment. When the user touches the physical object, the touch gesture is captured and processed by the system to interpret the touch gesture as an input. The physical object may include a printed, projected or touch screen panel, a hand-held object, a portion of a gaming machine cabinet, a table tops, a floor and the like.

To provide a program, an information storage medium, an image processing device, an image processing method, and a data structure capable of collaboration between replay data and a motion picture produced by an image capturing unit during a period corresponding to the replay data. A replay data obtaining unit obtains replay data for reproducing the status of execution of a program. A captured motion picture obtaining unit obtains a captured motion picture that is produced by the image capturing unit during an image capturing period including at least a part of a reproduction period in which the status of execution of the program is reproduced based on replay data. A data holding unit holds replay data and a captured motion picture so as to be correlated to each other.

An example recording medium records an information processing program causing an information processing apparatus to operate as: a reading part reading a game program capable of being executed by any other information processing apparatus having a configuration different from that of the information processing apparatus and execution situation information indicating an execution situation at a given execution position of the game program; an emulation part, by using the execution situation information, emulating the game program with starting at the given execution position; a judgment part judging an execution situation of the game program to be emulated; and a changing part, when it is judged that the execution situation of the game program satisfies a condition set forth in advance, changing an execution status of the emulation part.

Example systems and methods relate to playing a multi-player video game in which multiple players each supply inputs to a respective input device to control a corresponding game character in a game world displayed on a display screen. Movements of each game character in the game world are controlled in accordance with respective first game character control operations during the playing of the multi-player video game. In response to satisfaction of one or more conditions, one player's game character is protected from harm in the game world, wherein one of the one or more conditions is a condition triggered voluntarily by the one player. Movements of the protected game character in the game world are controlled based on a position of another, unprotected game character.

Technologies are generally described for providing a notification to a player playing a gesture-based game of a potentially dangerous condition. In some examples, a safety component of a gesture-based game system includes a gesture range determination unit configured to determine a gesture range associated with a gesture-based game; a detection unit configured to detect a movement of an object; and an alarm unit configured to generate an alarm in response to a determination based on the movement of the object which is within the gesture range.
