Abstract: Provided is a technique with which a batter who is practicing batting with a tee can acknowledge how the batter should change his/her hitting posture. An information processing device includes a processor that executes: (a) continuously measuring, according to either or both of output signals from a motion sensor and a force plate, a posture of a batter who is practicing batting with a tee; (b) determining, according to an output signal from a force sensor internally stored in the tee, a timing at which the batter hits a ball placed at the tee; (c) determining, as a hitting posture of the batter, a posture of the batter at the determined timing; and (d) outputting a message instructing the batter to change the batter's hitting posture, according to information indicating an exemplary hitting posture and information indicating the determined batter's hitting posture.

Abstract: Realized is a technology which allows more various operations with respect to an operation target. An operation device includes: at least one six-axis force-moment sensor; and a button. The at least one six-axis force-moment sensor can detect a force in a direction of a first axis which intersects a first main surface of a housing, a moment about the first axis, a force in a direction of a second axis which is along the first main surface, a moment about the second axis, a force in a direction of a third axis which is along the first main surface and which intersects the second axis, and a moment about the third axis. The button can detect at least the force in the direction of the first axis and the moments about the second and third axes, and is provided to the first main surface.
