Abstract: The present technology relates to a tactile presentation apparatus and a tactile presentation control method with which the types of tactile sensations which can be presented by means of vibration can be increased. The tactile presentation apparatus includes a first member and a second member which can vibrate individually and a first bending portion that bends between the first member and the second member and that changes the relative direction between the first member and the second member. The present technology can be applied to devices that a user operates while holding the device in a hand, for example in a theatrical performance, a movie, or an attraction.

Abstract: [Object] To implement unified communication of vibration information while reducing data communication traffic.[Solution] Provided is an information processing apparatus including: a file generation unit configured to generate a file including speech waveform data and vibration waveform data. The file generation unit cuts out waveform data in a to-be-synthesized band from first speech data, synthesizes waveform data extracted from a synthesizing band of vibration data with the to-be-synthesized band to generate second speech data, and encodes the second speech data to generate the file.
