Storage medium storing information processing program, information processing device, information processing system, and panoramic video display method

Abstract

An example information processing device displays a partial area of a panoramic video on a display device. A display range of the panoramic video to be displayed on the display device is determined based on an input made on a predetermined input device. The information processing device accepts an input of additional information for the panoramic video being displayed on the display device. Moreover, input information is stored in a storage unit, the input information including the additional information and input range information with which it is possible to identify a display range when the additional information was accepted and/or a position within the display range. The information processing device outputs the additional information together with the panoramic video based on the input range information when the panoramic video is played with the additional information having been stored.
