Abstract: There is provided a distribution device, a distribution method, and a program that enables to reduce a communication amount while maintaining a natural motion of an avatar. The distribution device according to the present technology includes a reception unit that receives first motion information indicating a motion of a user, a distribution unit that distributes second motion information indicating a motion of an avatar corresponding to the user, to a terminal that displays the avatar, and an adjustment unit that adjusts an information amount of the second motion information distributed by the distribution unit in accordance with the first motion information. The present technology is applicable, for example, to an information processing system that provides an application for reflecting a motion of the user who uses the terminal connected via a network on the avatar in a virtual space.

Abstract: An information processing device including a control unit that displays a virtual object on a three-dimensional coordinate space associated with a real space and causes the virtual object to perform a predetermined movement according to a predetermined sound reproduced from a real sound source disposed in the real space, in which the control unit performs delay amount setting processing of increasing a delay amount of movement start timing at which the virtual object is caused to perform the predetermined movement with respect to reproduction timing at which the real sound source reproduces the predetermined sound, as a position of the real sound source in the real space and a position of the virtual object on the three-dimensional coordinate space are separated from each other.

Abstract: This information processing device includes: a control device which determines whether or not a first terminal is in a first position in a real space, controls, on the basis of the determination that the first terminal is in the first position, the first terminal to start superimposing a virtual object according to the first position on the real space, determines whether or not the second terminal different from the first terminal is in the first position, and controls the second terminal to start superimposing the virtual object on the real space, on the basis of the determination that the second terminal is in the first position. The control device executes differently the start of a first operation of the virtual object by the first terminal and the start of a second operation of the virtual object by the second terminal, with respect to at least one among the display start timing and the display start position of the virtual object, and synchronizes the end of the first operation and the end of the second operation.
