Abstract:
1. The information processing method for an information processing apparatus for generating a three-dimensional image on a display by projecting a three-dimensional space onto a plane, the information processing method comprising the steps of: determining a depth for each of a plurality of vertices of at least one polygon from a viewpoint in the three-dimensional space, the at least one polygon forming a surface of a three-dimensional object in the three-dimensional space; moving the position of at least a portion of the plurality of vertices in the three-dimensional space by the amount of movement relative to each determined depth for each of the plurality of vertices; rendering a three-dimensional image onto a plane by projecting the surface of the three-dimensional object in the three-dimensional space formed by the plurality of vertices; and detecting a relative position for each of the plurality of vertices with respect to a sight-line vector, the sight-line vector representing a direction of a field of view in the three-dimensional space;
