1. An information processing system, comprising:

  • an arrangement item including a first marker, wherein the arrangement item is a physical item;

    an arrangement region providing object which provides an arrangement region for the arrangement item and which includes a plurality of second markers, wherein the arrangement region providing object is a physical object, and wherein arrangement of the arrangement item on the arrangement region providing object is changeable by a user; and

    an information processing device comprising a processing system including at least one processor, the processing system configured to perform operations including;

    capturing images successively at predetermined intervals by controlling an imaging device;

    determining a positional relationship between the first marker of the arrangement item and at least one of the plurality of second markers from the captured images which include the first marker of the arrangement item and the at least one of the plurality of second markers of the arrangement region providing object for a predetermined period of time, wherein the positional relationship includes an orientation of the first marker with respect to the at least one of the plurality of second markers;

    buffering the determined positional relationship for the predetermined period of time;

    monitoring the buffered positional relationship for the predetermined period of time;

    detecting, based upon the monitoring, a change in the positional relationship of the first marker and the at least one of the plurality of second markers due to one or more changes in the arrangement of the arrangement item, wherein the change in the positional relationship includes a change in the orientation of the first marker with respect to the at least one of the plurality of second markers;

    superimposing predetermined information, in accordance with the detected change in the positional relationship of the first marker with respect to the at least one of the plurality of second markers, onto a captured image, wherein the predetermined information depicts one or more virtual actions relating to the first marker or the at least one of the plurality of second markers; and

    causing a display device to display the captured image on which the predetermined information is superimposed.
