Abstract: Provided is an information processing apparatus including a skill level difference detection unit configured to detect 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 configured to dynamically change and present, 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.

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: [Object] To provide an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program that make it possible to properly provide information related to an image-capturing apparatus through a tactile sense.
[Solving Means] Solution to Problem
An information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a controller. The controller controls oscillation of an oscillation device that provides oscillation to a camera operator, on the basis of at least one of image-capturing-environment information regarding an environment of image-capturing performed by an image-capturing apparatus, image-capturing-setting information that is set by the camera operator, or state information regarding a state of the image-capturing apparatus, the image-capturing apparatus including a camera body that includes the oscillation device and an imaging device that captures an image of a subject.

Abstract: A control device (30) includes a detection unit (303), a specifying unit (304), and a phase offset control unit (307). The detection unit (303) detects a contact position on a display (10) provided with a plurality of drive units that performs tactile presentation. The specifying unit (304) specifies, based on the contact position detected by the detection unit (303), 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 (21 and 22). The phase offset control unit (307) adjusts the phase offset of the plurality of drive signals so as to obtain the target phase offset specified by the specifying unit (304).
