ABSTRACT:
A shadow body generation unit generates a shadow model defined by a limited number of lines extending from a position of a light source to an outline of a hand. If the virtual object is partially or fully included in the shadow model and a position of the virtual object is further away from the position of the light source, the shadow body generation unit generates a shadow for a partially obscured area included in the shadow model.
