Image Processing Device, Image Processing Method, And Information Storage Medium
First Claim
1. An image processing device for displaying an image representative of a picture of an object viewed from a viewpoint in a virtual three-dimensional space where the object and the viewpoint are placed, comprising:
- distance data calculation means for calculating distance data concerning the object and the viewpoint;
moving state determination means for determining at least one of a moving distance and a moving speed of the object in the virtual three-dimensional space, based on the distance data;
object moving means for moving the object in the virtual three-dimensional space based on at least one of the moving distance and the moving speed of the object, which is determined by the moving state determination means; and
image displaying means for displaying an image representative of a picture of the object moving in the virtual three-dimensional space viewed from the viewpoint.

Abstract
To provide an image processing device capable of improving visibility of an object when a picture of a virtual three-dimensional space is displayed. The image processing device is an image processing device for displaying an image representative of a picture of a water droplet object (42), a viewpoint (54) or the like in a virtual three-dimensional space (50) where the water droplet object (42) and the viewpoint (54) are placed, comprising: distance data calculation means for calculating distance data concerning the water droplet object (42) and the viewpoint (54); moving state determination means for determining a moving distance or a moving speed of the water droplet object (42) in the virtual three-dimensional space (50), based on the distance data; object moving means for moving the water droplet object (42) based on the determined moving distance or moving speed; and image displaying means for displaying an image representative of a picture of the water droplet object (42) moving in the virtual three-dimensional space (50) viewed from the viewpoint (54).
