1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a display apparatus;
a first input device;
a second input device;
a third input device;
a load detector that includes at least three load sensors, the load detector configured to detect a load applied to the third input device;
a processing system that includes at least one processor, the processing system configured to;
output a character object to the display apparatus;
calculate a first attitude of the first input device;
calculate a second attitude of the second input device;
cause the character object to conduct at least one first motion among a plurality of motions, in response to the calculated first attitude;
cause the character object to conduct at least one second motion among a plurality of motions, in response to the calculated second attitude;
select at least one group that includes at least one load sensor from among the at least three load sensors;
calculate a sum of load values detected by the load sensors included within each of the at least one group; and

Abstract
A player can change the direction of the right hand of a character object, or extend and retract the right arm of the character object, by changing the direction of the core unit 70. The player can change the direction of the left hand of the character object, or extend and retract the left arm of the character object by changing the direction of the subunit 76. The player can retract and extend a leg of the character object, by shifting the center of gravity in the front-back direction when the player is standing on the load controller 36.
