Abstract:
1. A virtual space display device comprising: a setting unit which sets a position of a viewpoint arranged in a virtual space, and a direction of a visual line extending from the viewpoint; a moving unit which moves an object in the virtual space; a generating unit which generates an image representing the way the virtual space in which the object moves is viewed from the set viewpoint toward the set direction of the visual line, the image including a graphical representation of the object; and a display unit which displays the generated image on a screen, and wherein the setting unit sets the position of the viewpoint so that a relative position of the viewpoint to the graphical representation of the object is fixed, the setting unit randomly sets a new position of a target point included in a surface of a predetermined shape, the predetermined shape being relatively fixed to the object, and the setting unit sets a direction of a visual line from the viewpoint to the surface as the visual line geometrically travels from an initial position of the target point to the new position of the target point, the setting unit sets the direction of the visual line so that an intersection point between the surface and the visual line gradually comes geometrically closer to the target point.
