1. A computer readable storage medium containing a program to be executed by at least one information terminal device of a plurality of information terminal devices in a system that includes: a game play terminal configured to be operated by a performer who carries on a game; and the plurality of information terminal devices configured to be operated by a plurality of users who support a progress of the game, each information terminal device comprising a processor, a memory, an input unit, a display unit, and an imaging sensor,
the program, when executed by the processor, causing the processor to execute steps of:
arranging a virtual camera to acquire an image of a character that is arranged in a virtual space for augmented reality defined for the at least one information terminal device, wherein the character is an object that behaves as an avatar of the performer;
generating an image of an augmented reality space by superimposing, on an acquired image acquired by the imaging sensor, a field-of-view image including an image of the character acquired by the virtual camera;
displaying, on the display unit, the generated image of an augmented reality space;
producing a behavior of the character on a basis of transmission data transmitted from the game play terminal, wherein the transmission data is motion data and sound data that are input by the performer who plays live as the character;
displaying on the display unit an image in which the character is arranged in a similar virtual space to a virtual space defined in the game play terminal; and
switching, depending on an operation input by a user, the image displayed on the display unit between the image of the augmented reality space and the image in which the character is arranged in the similar virtual space,
wherein the motion data and the sound data that are input by the performer are commonly transmitted to the plurality of information terminal devices used by a plurality of users, and
wherein the behavior of the character is common among the plurality of information terminal devices, while images of the augmented reality space where the character is arranged, in the plurality of information terminal devices, are different depending on acquired images acquired by imaging sensors of the plurality of information terminal devices, respectively.
