Patent ID: 8152640

Claim:
An information processing apparatus comprising: a display apparatus; a first input device; a second input device; a third input device; a load detector that includes at least three load sensors, the load detector configured to detect a load applied to the third input device; a processing system that includes at least one processor, the processing system configured to: output a character object to the display apparatus; calculate a first attitude of the first input device; calculate a second attitude of the second input device; cause the character object to conduct at least one first motion among a plurality of motions, in response to the calculated first attitude; cause the character object to conduct at least one second motion among a plurality of motions, in response to the calculated second attitude; select at least one group that includes at least one load sensor from among the at least three load sensors; calculate a sum of load values detected by the load sensors included within each of the at least one group; and control a third motion of the character object based on the calculated sum of load values of the selected at least one group.
