Abstract:
A recording medium on which is recorded a computer-readable and executable software program that performs processing by taking as instructions on output from a controller which has at least one pressing member and at least one pressure-sensitive means associated with said at least one pressing member for providing a variable output having a magnitude depending on a pressing force applied to said at least one pressing member, said controller having a first switch that controls a viewpoint position of objects within a screen of a computer and a second switch independent of said first switch that controls a movement of said objects within said screen of said computer, whereinsaid software program comprises, in a mode in which said viewpoint position of objects within said screen of a computer is switched, changing said viewpoint position to another viewpoint position in response to an initial output from said at least one pressure-sensitive means associated with said first switch, and altering a viewpoint characteristic of said another viewpoint position in response to a continued output from said at least one pressure-sensitive means associated with said first switch, said initial output and said continued output being derived from a continuous and variable application of force upon said at least one pressing member.
