Abstract: There is provided an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program capable of displaying an effect image indicating a situation of tactile presentation caused by an object. The information processing apparatus according to one aspect of the present technology acquires information regarding a situation of tactile presentation to at least a part of a user's body, and generates an effect image indicating the situation of the tactile presentation. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a transmissive head-mounted display (HMD).

Abstract: There is provided an information processing apparatus that enables a more effective reduction in a load imposed on a user, with the use of force applied to the user in relation to a tangible object. The information processing apparatus includes a control unit configured to estimate, on the basis of a state of a user, a first amount that is predicted by the user with regard to force applied to the user in relation to a tangible object, and control presentation of information to the user on the basis of the first amount and a second amount that is preliminarily registered with regard to the force.

Abstract: There is provided an information processing device and an information processing method that facilitate designating a desired range in an object in XR. The information processing device includes: an object recognition unit that recognizes a state of a target object that is a real object or a virtual object that exists in a field of view of a user; an operation body recognition unit that recognizes a state of an operation body that is a real object or a virtual object used by the user for setting a designated range for the target object; and a designated range setting unit that sets the designated range on a basis of at least one of a state of the target object or a state of the operation body. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a head mount display (HMD).

Abstract: There is provided an information processing apparatus to further improve convenience of a user in an operation of an object. The information processing apparatus includes: an acquisition unit that acquires motion information indicating a motion of a user; and an operation control unit that, in a case where an object is designated by the user, switches a mode related to an operation of the object when contact information of a third finger is further acquired while contact information of a first finger and contact information of a second finger of the user are acquired by the acquisition unit.

Abstract: In order to accomplish the above-mentioned objective, a display control apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a control unit. The control unit controls, on the basis of a viewpoint of a user, a position of an operating part of the user, and a position of a virtual object, a display format of at least a portion of the operating part. Accordingly, it is possible to provide high-quality viewing experience. Moreover, when approaching the virtual object which is the operation target and operating the virtual object, the transparency of the operating part is controlled, such that the operation target can be carefully checked. Accordingly, operation time and operation mistakes can be reduced. Moreover, the display format is controlled on the basis of the distance between the operating part and the operation target, such that a distance to the operation target can be accurately grasped.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a position processing unit, a correction unit, and a display control unit. The position processing unit estimates a head position of a user and estimates a position of a predetermined part of a body of the user based on the estimated head position. The correction unit corrects the position of the predetermined part estimated by the position processing unit based on the head position and an angle of inclination of a head of the user. The display control unit executes processing of displaying an image operated by the user to be overlapped with a space visually recognized by the user based on the position corrected by the correction unit.

Abstract: There is provided an information processing apparatus and information processing method that enable quick and accurate detection of a gesture of pinching a virtual object. The information processing apparatus includes a gesture detection unit that individually detects movement of a hand base portion that is a portion not including fingers of a hand of a user, and movement of a first finger of the hand, and detects a gesture in which the user pinches a virtual object, on the basis of the movement of the hand base portion and the movement of the first finger. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a head-mounted display.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a hold determination unit. The hold determination unit determines, in a case where a rate of decrease of a distance between a first hold-side object and a second hold-side object that set a virtual object as a pinch-and-hold target becomes smaller than a predetermined threshold value, that the virtual object has been held by the first hold-side object and the second hold-side object. Accordingly, a high-quality virtual experience can be achieved.
