Claim Text:
1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein an information processing program executed by a computer of a hand-held information processing apparatus, the information processing program, when executed, causing the computer to provide functionality comprising: display control for performing, by using a display device, one of a planar view display and a stereoscopically visible display, to display a display image; movement acquisition for acquiring movement data representing a movement of the information processing apparatus; virtual camera setting for setting at least one of a position and/or an imaging direction of two virtual cameras disposed in a virtual space in cooperation with the movement of the information processing apparatus which is represented by the movement data; comparison for comparing a value represented by the movement data to a predetermined value; and switching for switching a display of the display image performed by the display control between the planar view display and the stereoscopically visible display, based on the results of comparison between the value represented by the movement data and the predetermined value, wherein the display image is taken by the virtual camera(s) so as to represent the virtual space, when the value represented by the movement data is greater than or equal to the predetermined value, the switching immediately switches the stereoscopically visible display to the planar view display, when the value represented by the movement data is less than the predetermined value, the switching gradually returns the planar view display to the stereoscopically visible display, the display control displays, as the display image, an image for a left eye and an image for a right eye which have been generated by using the two virtual cameras which are spaced from each other by a predetermined distance in the virtual space when the stereoscopically visible display is performed, and when the switching switches the display of the display image performed by the display control by gradually changing from the planar view display to the stereoscopically visible display, the display device is caused to display, as the display image, a stereoscopically visible image including the image for the left eye and the image for the right eye having been generated by gradually increasing the distance between the two virtual cameras.
