Abstract: Provided is an information processing device to be connected to an odor presentation device that presents an odor to a user. The information processing device acquires spatial odor information indicative of an odor in a reproduction target space, and instructs, by using the acquired spatial odor information, the odor presentation device to present to the user an odor assumably perceivable in the reproduction target space.

Abstract: In an information processing system 1, an information processing apparatus 10 recognizes, when a user moves real bodies 120a and 120b arranged on a play field 19, the movement on the basis of, for example, an image taken by a camera 122 taking an image of the movement to interlock objects of corresponding characters 202a and 202b displayed on a display apparatus 16. In addition, when the user moves the characters 202a and 202b through an input apparatus 14, the information processing apparatus 10 transmits a control signal to the corresponding real bodies 120a and 120b to perform interlocking. When a situation in which interlocking between the real bodies 120a and 120b and the characters 202a and 202b is difficult occurs, an appropriate scenario is selected from the scenarios prepared in advance and realized, thereby maintaining the consistency.

Abstract translation: 在信息处理系统1中，当用户移动布置在播放区域19上的实体120a和120b时，信息处理设备10基于例如拍摄图像拍摄的照相机122的图像来识别移动 使互相对应的显示装置16上显示的对应字符202a，202b的对象相互联动。此外，当用户通过输入装置14移动字符202a，202b时，信息处理装置10将控制信号发送到对应的实际 主体120a和120b进行互锁。 当真实体120a和120b与字符202a和202b之间的互锁困难的情况发生时，从预先准备并实现的场景中选择适当的场景，从而保持一致性。
