Patent ID: 7057613

Claim:
An image processing unit comprising: a. shape memory in which object shape data are prerecorded; b. a processing component in which for establishing coordinate values for animate or movable objects in a three-dimensional virtual space based on the shape data stored in said shape memory; c. conversion means for receiving the coordinate values established by said processing component, and for converting the coordinate values to a visual field coordinate system based on a prescribed view point; d. view point establishment means for establishing a position of said view point on the basis of the situation between an object in the three-dimensional virtual space serving as a predetermined reference and being virtually defined in the three-dimensional virtual space without any input by a user and other objects defined in said three-dimensional virtual space, and for sending the position to said conversion means; and e. imaging means for adding a predetermined texture to a shape of data of the visual field coordinate system converted by said conversion means, wherein said viewpoint establishing means changes the position of said view point according to a distance between the view point and said objects without any input by the user.
