| 20100285873 | NETWORK SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND INFORMATION PROCESSING PROGRAM - A network system includes a plurality of information processing apparatuses. Each information processing apparatus arranges an own character and a partner character within a virtual space, and outputs an image of the virtual space on a monitor when a message is transmitted and received from the information processing apparatus of a chatting partner. Furthermore, an index indicating a direction from the own character to the partner character is generated, and it is determined whether or not the partner character is included in a predetermined range defined within the virtual space, and it is determined whether or not a message is being transmitted or received. When the partner character is out of the predetermined range, and the message is being transmitted or received, the index is output to the monitor. | 11-11-2010 |
| 20090002365 | Image processing program and image processing apparatus - A game apparatus includes a computer, and the computer reads rendering data from a rendering buffer, and displays a virtual three-dimensional image by utilizing color data and a depth value for each pixel which are included in the rendering data. When a photographing instruction is input, a focused position is detected on the basis of operation information. The computer calculates a difference between a depth value of each pixel included in the rendering data and a depth value of the focused position to generate color data which is subjected to blur processing with respect to blurring objective pixels, and writes the color data in the calculation buffer for each pixel. The computer generates a display image data including a blurred image on the basis of the color data of each pixel stored in the calculation buffer. | 01-01-2009 |
