Abstract:
A method includes defining a virtual space, wherein the virtual space comprises a first avatar associated with a first user, a virtual viewpoint associated with the first avatar, and a second avatar associated with a second user. The method further includes moving the first avatar in response to a first input by the first user. The method further includes moving the second avatar in response to a second input by the second user. The method further includes identifying, in accordance with the first input and a position of the virtual viewpoint, a visual field viewed from the first avatar in the virtual space. The method further includes generating a visual-field image corresponding to the visual field. The method further includes identifying a size of the first avatar. The method further includes identifying a size of the second avatar. The method further includes setting, when 360-degree content is not being played back in the virtual space, the position of the virtual viewpoint to a position corresponding to the size of the first avatar. The method further includes changing, when the 360-degree content is being played back in the virtual space, a relative positional relationship between the position of the virtual viewpoint and a position of a face of the second avatar.

Claim (Index 7):
The method according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the virtual space is defined by a horizontal direction and a height direction, wherein the first input comprises a horizontal movement in a real space of a first head-mounted device (HMD) associated with the first user, wherein the method further comprises moving the virtual viewpoint horizontally in the virtual space in response to a horizontal movement by the first HMD, wherein the second input is free from a horizontal movement in the real space of the first HMD associated with the first user, wherein the virtual space further comprises a target object, and wherein the method further comprises fixedly arranging the second avatar on the target object to visually provide to the first user information indicating that the second avatar is incapable of moving horizontally in the virtual space.
