Abstract
A system and method for facilitating moving particles in a virtual space use depth information that reflects distances of objects in a virtual space to either a ground level or a viewpoint. The depth information may be stored in a set of information. The system detects collisions of particles and other objects based on the depth information, on a frame-by-frame basis.
