Claim Text:
1. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored thereon a game program to be executed by a computer operationally coupled to an input device operated by a user in an actual space, the input device further being operationally coupled to a sensor configured to detect posture and/or motion of the input device, the computer executing the game program to move an object in a virtual space based on the posture and/or motion information obtained from the sensor, the game program, when executed by the computer, causing the computer to at least: obtain input device posture and/or motion information detected by the sensor; calculate the posture of the input device in the actual space based on the input device posture and/or motion information; set a virtual reference plane in the actual space, the virtual reference plane having an orientation that the computer sets based on the calculated posture of the input device at a predetermined timing; obtain additional input device posture and/or motion information detected by the sensor; calculate a further posture of the input device in the actual space based on the additional input device posture and/or motion information detected by the sensor; and display the object moving in the virtual space in accordance with the calculated further posture of the input device relative to the set virtual reference plane in the actual space.
