Abstract: An information processing apparatus that includes a deciding unit that decides character representation related to speech-to-text conversion of a verbal action performed by a user is provided. The deciding unit decides the character representation for each detected verbal action section based on a detected non-verbal action of the user. Furthermore, an information processing method that causes a processor to execute a process for deciding character representation related to speech-to-text conversion of a verbal action performed by the user is provided. The process further includes a process for deciding the character representation for each detected verbal action section based on a detected non-verbal action performed by the user.

Abstract: There is provided an information processing apparatus, a tactile sense providing system, and a program that are intended for a real object and make it possible to provide a tactile sense. The information processing apparatus according to the present technology includes a real object detector, a body part detector, and a drive signal generator. The real object detector detects a real object. The body part detector detects a position and a pose of a part of a body. The drive signal generator generates a drive signal on the basis of a positional relationship between the real object and the part, the drive signal being supplied to a tactile sense providing mechanism that is worn on the part.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes an acquisition section, a determination section and a control section. The acquisition section acquires character information obtained by converting utterance of a speaker into characters by speech recognition. The determination section determines presence or absence of a conveyance intention that the speaker tries to convey speaker's own utterance content to a receiver using the character information based on a state of the speaker. The control section executes a process of displaying the character information on display devices used by respective of the speaker and the receiver, and a process of presenting a determination result regarding the conveyance intention to at least one of the speaker and the receiver.

Abstract: A control unit controls a movement of a viewpoint-following display area that moves in accordance with the movement of a user's point of regard, and determines whether to cause the viewpoint-following display area to follow the user's point of regard or to stop the viewpoint-following display area from following the user's point of regard, according to the staying time of the user's point of regard. The display apparatus is configured as a three-dimensional display apparatus or a HUD that allows the viewpoint-following display area to be observed in front of a fixed display area. In a case where the staying time of the user's point of regard reaches or exceeds a specified time t set in advance, the control unit does not cause the viewpoint-following display area to follow the user's point of regard, but fixes the viewpoint-following display area for display.

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.
