ABSTRACT:
An information processing apparatus displays a plurality of linked objects in a virtual three-dimensional space in accordance with field-of-view data. The information processing apparatus includes control means for generating images of the objects in accordance with the object data and in accordance with the field of view and rendering the generated images onto a two-dimensional frame. The control means hierarchically sorts the objects in accordance with link data which indicates links between the objects. The control means renders the image of one object and the image of another object to which the one object is linked, wherein the image of the other object is rendered before the start of or after the end of rendering the one object or between the start and the end of rendering.
