Abstract: The disclosure provides an information processing apparatus, an information processing system, and an information processing method capable of allowing a user to approach a destination intuitively. An information processing apparatus according to the present technology includes a position-coordinate acquisition part, a direction acquisition part, a direction calculation part, and a haptic-feedback determining part. The position-coordinate acquisition part acquires a position coordinate of the information processing apparatus. The direction acquisition part acquires an apparatus direction that the information processing apparatus faces. The direction calculation part calculates a target direction being a direction of a target with respect to the information processing apparatus from a position coordinate of the target and the position coordinate of the information processing apparatus. The haptic-feedback determining part determines a haptic feedback to be presented to a user on the basis of an angle formed by the apparatus direction and the target direction.

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: The present technology relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program which can curb occurrence of howling at the time of outputting vibration in response to an input sound. The information processing apparatus of one aspect of the present technology is an apparatus that generates, at the time of outputting vibration in response to an input sound from the outside, a vibration signal representing the vibration having a frequency different from a frequency of the input sound. The present technology can be applied to, for example, smartphones, smart watches, wearable apparatuses, cushions, and music experience apparatuses that vibrate in response to input sounds.

Abstract: Provided is an information processing apparatus including a skill level difference detection unit that detects a skill level difference between a first user and a second user on the basis of sensing data regarding the first user and sensing data regarding the second user having a skill level lower than a skill level of the first user, and a presentation unit that dynamically changes and presents, during performance, skill level difference suppression information that reduces the skill level difference to at least one of the first and second users on the basis of the skill level difference detected. The sensing data is acquired through at least performance and the like performed by moving at least a part of a body of the users and other performance performed in the past with respect to the performance.

Abstract: The present technology relates to an information processing device, an information processing method, and a program capable of providing video and sound in a synchronized state. An information processing device includes a determination unit that determines whether it is content in which sound is delayed with respect to video, and a processing unit that delays the video by a predetermined period and plays the video when the determination unit determines that it is the content in which the sound is delayed with respect to the video. The processing unit delays and plays the video so that the video when a sound source produces the sound is synchronized with the sound. The predetermined period corresponds to a period by which the sound is delayed. The present technology can be applied to an information processing device that processes video.
