Abstract: An information processor (10m) includes a control unit (104). On a basis of position information indicating a perceptual position that causes a haptic stimulus to be perceived in a haptic presentation device (2) and on a basis of haptic stimulus type information specifying a type of the haptic stimulus, and in accordance with an arrangement of one or more haptic stimulus units provided in the haptic presentation device (2), the control unit (104) generates a haptic control signal to each of the haptic stimulus units for presentation of the haptic stimulus of the type specified at the perceptual position, and a script in which time information on a reproduction content and one or more of the generated haptic control signals are associated with each other.

Abstract: A control device includes a detection unit, a specifying unit, and a phase offset control unit. The detection unit detects a contact position on a display provided with a plurality of drive units that performs tactile presentation. The specifying unit specifies, based on the contact position detected by the detection unit, a target phase offset, which is a phase offset being an acquisition target of a plurality of drive signals each of which drives each of the plurality of drive units. The phase offset control unit adjusts the phase offset of the plurality of drive signals so as to obtain the target phase offset specified by the specifying unit.
