Abstract: There is provided an information processing apparatus and information processing method that enable quick and accurate detection of a gesture of pinching a virtual object. The information processing apparatus includes a gesture detection unit that individually detects movement of a hand base portion that is a portion not including fingers of a hand of a user, and movement of a first finger of the hand, and detects a gesture in which the user pinches a virtual object, on the basis of the movement of the hand base portion and the movement of the first finger. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a head-mounted display.

Abstract: Provided are an apparatus and a method that performs selection or display mode change of a virtual object to be displayed depending on a real object type in a target area to be a display area for the virtual object. Included are an object identification unit that executes identification processing of a real object in the real world, and a content display control unit that generates an AR image in which a real object and a virtual object are superimposed and displayed. The object identification unit identifies a real object in the target area to be the display area for the virtual object, and the content display control unit performs processing of selecting the virtual object to be displayed or processing of changing the display mode depending on the object identification result.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a hold determination unit. The hold determination unit determines, in a case where a rate of decrease of a distance between a first hold-side object and a second hold-side object that set a virtual object as a pinch-and-hold target becomes smaller than a predetermined threshold value, that the virtual object has been held by the first hold-side object and the second hold-side object. Accordingly, a high-quality virtual experience can be achieved.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes an acquisition unit and a reproduction control unit. The acquisition unit acquires avoidance region information about an avoidance region where at least one of entrance of a target person who is a target to whom virtual content is reproduced or entrance of a virtual object for the target person that is displayed to the target person is a target to be avoided, the avoidance region information being generated on the basis of at least one of a position of another object different from the target person or a position of a virtual object for the other object displayed to the other object. The reproduction control unit controls reproduction of the virtual content to the target person on the basis of the acquired avoidance region information.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a display unit (331) and a control unit (350). The display unit (331) displays a virtual operation object to be superimposed on a reality space visually recognized by a user. The control unit (350) determines a superimposition target object on which the operation object is to be superimposed from among a plurality of objects existing around the user in the reality space, detects a movement of a hand of the user in a state where the operation object is displayed, and presents the operation object to the user while moving the operation object to approach the superimposition target object in conjunction with the detected movement of the hand of the user.
