System, method, and computer-readable medium for displaying virtual image based on position detected by sensor
A system for displaying an image of a virtual space on a display obtains detection data from position detection sensors, the position detection sensors including a position detection sensor attached to a user. The system calculates a distance between a pair of the position detection sensors based on the detection data, and sets, based on the distance, a boundary for determining a motion of the user. The system determines, when the motion of the user occurs, whether a positional relationship between one of the position detection sensors and the boundary satisfies a condition, and, responsive to the positional relationship satisfying the condition, executes an action corresponding to the motion of the user in the virtual space.
1. A system for displaying an image of a virtual space on a display, the system comprising circuitry configured to:
detect a first position by a first position detection sensor;
detect a second position by a second position detection sensor;
calculate a first distance between the first position and the second position;
set, based on the first distance, a first boundary for determining a motion of a user;
determine, when the motion of the user occurs, whether the first position reaches the first boundary; and
responsive to the first position reaching the first boundary, determine that a user action in the virtual space has been completed.
2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein
the circuitry is further configured to:
set a second boundary based on the first distance, and
responsive to the first position reaching the second boundary, determine that the user action has started.
3. The system according to claim 1 , wherein
the user action is a movement in the virtual space.
4. The system according to claim 1 , wherein
the circuitry is further configured to, responsive to the first position reaching the first boundary, move an object in the virtual space.
5. The system according to claim 4 , wherein
the object is distinct from the user.
6. The system according to claim 4 , wherein
the object is moved in the virtual space according to a trajectory calculated based on movement of the first position.
7. The system according to claim 4 , wherein
a movement distance of the object differs according to a length of the first distance.
8. The system according to claim 1 , wherein
a type of the user action differs according to a position, relative to the first boundary, of a start of the motion of the user.
9. A method for displaying an image of a virtual space on a display using a computer comprising circuitry, the method comprising:

determining, when the motion of the user occurs, whether the first position reaches the first boundary; and
responsive to the first position reaching the first boundary, determining that a user action in the virtual space has been completed.
10. A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores computer-readable instructions, wherein the computer-readable instructions, when executed by a computer comprising circuitry, causes the circuitry to:
detect a first position by a first position detection sensor;
detect a second position by a second position detection sensor;
calculate a first distance between the first position and the second position;
set, based on the first distance, a first boundary for determining a motion of a user;
