Abstract:
1. An image generation system including a processor, comprising: an object space setting section that sets an object space where a plurality of objects are disposed; a character control section that controls a character that moves in the object space; a virtual camera control section that controls a virtual camera; an inter-camera distance setting section that sets an inter-camera distance based on at least one of position information, direction information, and moving state information about the character or the virtual camera, the inter-camera distance being a distance between a left-eye virtual camera and a right-eye virtual camera for generating a stereoscopic image, the inter-camera distance setting section changing the inter-camera distance by repeatedly increasing and reducing the inter-camera distance when a given event has been generated in connection with the character; and an image generation section that generates a left-eye image and a right-eye image, the left-eye image being an image viewed from the left-eye virtual camera in the object space, and the right-eye image being an image viewed from the right-eye virtual camera in the object space.
