Abstract: The number of light sources that emit light according to identification information regarding an input device is reduced. An input device (10) includes a first light source (S1), a second light source (S2), a first illumination part (E1) that is illuminated by light from the first light source (S1) in order to indicate identification information allocated to the input device, two second illumination parts (E2) that are placed at positions different from a position of the first illumination part (E1) and that are illuminated by light from the second light source in order to indicate the identification information, and a light guide member (50) that guides the light from the second light source (E2) to the two second illumination parts (E2).

Abstract: Two light-emitting units are to be prevented from overlapping each other in an image obtained through a camera. A tracked unit (30) has a first outer surface (A1) provided with a first light-emitting unit (H1), a second outer surface (A2) provided with a second light-emitting unit (H2), and a light shield portion (B). The second outer surface (A2) faces a second direction different from that of the first outer surface (A1). The light shield portion (B) is located further outside than the first light-emitting unit (H1) and the second light-emitting unit (H2).

Abstract: A light emission controlling apparatus, an operation device, a light emission controlling method and a program that facilitate understanding of identification information associated with the operation device are disclosed. The light emission controlling apparatus includes an identification information specification unit that specifies the identification information associated with the operation device. A specific light emission region specification unit specifies a specific light emission region that is part of a light emission region set to the operation device, the specific light emission region according to the identification information. A light emission controlling unit controls such that at least part of the light emission region emits light in such a manner that a color according to the identification information and the specific light emission region are recognizable.
