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: 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: There is provided a control device according to the present technology to improve an accuracy of force sense presentation while preventing hindrance to a free motion of a target part when a user does not touch a virtual object. The control device includes a control unit that controls a force sense presentation apparatus, which includes a first member that is displaced mechanically in conjunction with a motion of a target part of a user, a second member that is displaceable in a direction of coming into contact with or separating from the first member, and a drive part that drives the second member and performs force sense presentation with respect to the target part, such that a driving state of the second member is changed according to a positional relationship between a virtual object and the target part in a virtual space in which the virtual object is arranged.
