1. An image processing system comprising: a motion sensor configured to output motion data; and processing circuitry configured to detect aspects of a gesture based on the motion data and generate an animation of an object in a virtual space based on the detected aspects of the gesture, wherein an actual path of the object in the virtual space is determined based on at least a first aspect of the gesture detected after a beginning of the animation, and wherein the processing circuitry is configured to generate the animation based on a pre-specified path for the object at least until the first aspect of the gesture is detected and thereafter generate the animation based on the actual path of the object.
