Orientation calculation program and device, and program and device using orientation information

Abstract

By setting a rotation axis of a device, it makes possible to calculate an arbitrary numeral value input from inclination of the device. Moreover, by making it possible to perform a moving operation for a character in a virtual space by using a numerical value according to the inclination, mainly in a device that includes a touch panel, it is possible to provide a user with an operation of a character with a higher degree of freedom in particular in a first-person perspective or a third-person perspective.
