Claim Text:
1. An input device including an angular velocity sensor and an acceleration sensor, the input device comprising at least one processor configured to at least: calculate a first attitude of the input device, based on angular velocity data outputted from the angular velocity sensor; compare a first magnitude, corresponding to an acceleration calculated based on acceleration data outputted by the acceleration sensor, to a second magnitude, corresponding to acceleration of gravity; correct the first attitude in accordance with a difference between the first magnitude and the second magnitude if the difference is smaller than a reference difference amount; and execute predetermined information processing to move, using a component of the corrected first attitude corresponding to a direction associated with gravity, but not using components of the corrected first attitude corresponding to directions perpendicular to the direction associated with gravity, an object in a virtual space displayed on a display screen associated with the input device.
