ABSTRACT:
A virtual object display apparatus displays an object moved in three-dimensional virtual space. A key frame memory section previously stores move data of each part of the object by unit of action of the object's movement in three-dimensional virtual space. A swing calculation section calculates the change of a basis point of the object by unit of action according to the move data of each part of the object. A display position set section calculates the change of display position corresponding to the change of the basis point in three-dimensional virtual space by unit of action. A display section displays the object movement in three-dimensional virtual space according to the display position by unit of action.
