A relative position of each object with respect to a point of view is
changed by changing at least one of information indicating a position of
the point of view and information indicating a position of the object,
the pieces of information being stored in a storage section. It is
determined whether or not a distance from the point of view to each
object in a virtual space is smaller than or equal to a predetermined
distance, with reference to the information indicating the point of view
and the information indicating the position of the object. Next,
information indicating a transparency of an object whose distance is
determined to be smaller than or equal to the predetermined distance is
updated every a unit time so that the transparency of the object is
gradually increased. A virtual image including the object is drawn with
reference to the information indicating the transparency.
