ABSTRACT:
An image producing/displaying system which is capable of imaging the drama, which is generally developed, from different views independently includes a storage device and an information processing unit for progressing the drama on the basis of the data stored in the storage device to image the drama. The storage device stores previously therein both individual data with respect to a plurality of characters which are treated as the human beings, a plurality of set and properties which are treated as the objects, and a plurality of local spaces, which are virtually specified as elements constructing the virtual world, and scenario information which is used to progress the drama in the whole virtual world. The information processing unit reads out the scenario information from the storage device to progress the drama in the whole space of the virtual world in accordance with the description in the scenario, and images the contents of the drama shown by the scenario information describing the drama in the specified local space out of the plurality of local spaces to display the contents of the drama on a display device by referring to the individual data stored in the storage device.
