Abstract: The present technique relates to an information processing device, an information processing method, and a program that enable spatial perception suitable for places where quietness is required.
Changes are made to a reproduced signal to be perceived by a user, based on an ultrasonic response signal returned from a space with respect to an inspection signal of an ultrasonic frequency band that is emitted into the space, according to a situation of the space.

Abstract: The present technology relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program that make it possible for a user to perceive the importance of recognition of a physical body existing in the surroundings of the user. Notification information that causes hardness of a physical body existing in a space to be perceived by a user spaced from the physical body is generated.

Abstract: The present technology relates to an information processing device, an information processing method, and a program that enable a user to perceive a surrounding situation reliably and stably. A distance and a direction of a measurement point with respect to a first position in a first coordinate system are calculated based on a relative distance and direction in the first coordinate system or a second coordinate system between the first position whose coordinates in the first coordinate system are determined and a second position whose coordinates in the second coordinate system are determined, the second position being separated from the first position, a relative attitude between the first coordinate system and the second coordinate system, and a distance to the measurement point present in a predetermined measurement direction in the second coordinate system, measured from the second position, and a notification signal to be presented to a user is generated based on at least one of the distance and the direction of the measurement point with respect to the first position. The present technology can be applied to an obstacle notification system that notifies a visually impaired person or the like of the presence of an obstacle.

Abstract: The present technology relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program that enable an operation to be performed using a wearable device that is less resistant to being worn all the times.
An information processing apparatus according to one aspect of the present technology acquires a captured image obtained by capturing an image of a wearable device including a module whose appearance changes according to time, detects a module included in the captured image on the basis of an image representing an appearance of the module according to a current time, and estimates at least one of a position or a posture of the wearable device. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a transmissive HMD.
