Abstract

A game processing device controls a first mounted display worn by a first player to display a virtual space in association with a first virtual position in the virtual space, and controls a second mounted display worn by a second player to display the virtual space in association with a second virtual position in the virtual space. The device also determines a position of the first player in a real space based on an output of a first sensor, moves the first virtual position in accordance with the position of the first player, determines a position of the second player in the real space based on an output of a second sensor, and moves the second virtual position in accordance with the position of the second player. The device produces a game special effect when a distance between the first and second virtual positions is within a predetermined range.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A system for providing a virtual space to a plurality of players, the system comprising:
 circuitry configured to:
 output, to a first terminal of a first player, an image of the virtual space and a first avatar corresponding to the first player; 
 at a predetermined timing, capture a virtual image of at least the first avatar in the virtual space and generating image information including the captured virtual image; and 
 output at least a part of the image information to a second terminal not belonging to the first player. 
   
     
     
         2 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the predetermined timing is a timing after an end of an activity within the virtual space.   
     
     
         3 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein
 a configuration of the captured virtual image differs according to a result of activity within the virtual space.   
     
     
         4 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the virtual image is captured according to an operation by the first player.   
     
     
         5 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein
 a result of activity within the virtual space is displayed in the virtual space when the virtual image is captured.   
     
     
         6 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the virtual image is captured using a virtual camera in the virtual space, and   a position of the virtual camera changes over time.   
     
     
         7 . The system according to  claim 6 , wherein
 a position of the first avatar in the virtual space is identified in accordance with a position and/or an orientation of the first terminal and/or a device associated with the first terminal, and   the virtual image is captured from the position of the virtual camera.   
     
     
         8 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the virtual image is generated based on information detected by the first terminal and/or a device associated with the first terminal.   
     
     
         9 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the image information includes download information of a URL for downloading the virtual image or a barcode encoding the URL.   
     
     
         10 . The system according to  claim 9 , wherein
 the at least a part of the image information is output such that at least one of the captured virtual image and the download information is displayed on the second terminal.   
     
     
         11 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the at least a part of the image information is output such that the captured virtual image is displayed on the second terminal.   
     
     
         12 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the image information is output for storage in a server.   
     
     
         13 . A method for providing a virtual space to a plurality of players, the method comprising:
 outputting, to a first terminal of a first player, an image of the virtual space and a first avatar corresponding to the first player;   at a predetermined timing, capturing a virtual image of at least the first avatar in the virtual space and generating image information including the captured virtual image; and   outputting at least a part of the image information to a second terminal not belonging to the first player.   
     
     
         14 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores computer-readable instructions for providing a virtual space to a plurality of players, the computer-readable instructions, when executed by circuitry, causing the circuitry to perform:
 outputting, to a first terminal of a first player, an image of the virtual space and a first avatar corresponding to the first player;   at a predetermined timing, capturing a virtual image of at least the first avatar in the virtual space and generating image information including the captured virtual image; and   outputting at least a part of the image information to a second terminal not belonging to the first player.   
     
     
         15 . A device for processing a game, the device comprising:
 circuitry configured to:
 output, to a first terminal of a first player, an image of the virtual space and a first avatar corresponding to the first player; 
 at a predetermined timing, capture a virtual image of at least the first avatar in the virtual space and generating image information including the captured virtual image; and 
 output at least a part of the image information to a second terminal not belonging to the first player.
