Abstract: An attachment configured to be attached to a game controller with a camera is provided. The attachment includes a housing having a support portion which supports the game controller and an operation portion in the housing. The support portion supports the game controller such that a direction of shooting of the camera is oriented to the inside of the housing and supports the game controller such that a field of view of shooting with the camera includes a first region including a first indication in the housing as a subject and a second region including a second indication in the housing as a subject. The first indication is located such that a position thereof is maintained regardless of an operation onto the operation portion, and the second indication is located such that a position thereof is variable in accordance with an operation onto the operation portion.

Abstract: A non-limiting example information processing apparatus includes a processor, and an infrared LED and an imaging device are connected to the processor. The processor controls on/off of the infrared LED, and an image sensor images infrared images according to switching timings thereof. An image processing circuit estimates an influence (situation) of noise such as sunlight etc. based on respective infrared images at times when the infrared LED is turned on and off, and determines at least advisability of use of the imaging device (infrared sensor). A determination result about the advisability of use is applied to the processor from the image processing circuit, and when it cannot be used, a message to that effect is displayed on an LCD.
