Abstract: A control apparatus for a device with one of the left side and the right side of the device fixed as pressed against the palm of a user. The device includes a button that can be depressed within a predetermined movable range and a sense-of-force presentation block for presenting a sensor of force against button depression within a range in which any of the fingers of the user is reachable, the input of a sense-of-force presentation start position in the predetermined movable range being received, a button depressing amount being acquired, and, when the sense-of-force presentation start position is reached, instructing the sense-of-force presentation block to present a sense force against the depressing of the button.

Abstract: A projector system includes two free-standing, upright projector housings between which a person can be positioned and can be imaged by one or more sensors on each housing. A projector on each housing projects an avatar of the person onto a wall between the projector housings so that the person can view his avatar.

Abstract: A first arc-shaped arm has a first elongated through-hole formed in a longitudinal direction thereof, and a second arc-shaped arm has a second elongated through-hole formed in a longitudinal direction thereof. A pedestal supports the first arc-shaped arm and the second arc-shaped arm for pivotal motion in a crossing relationship with each other. A first motor pivots the first arc-shaped arm, and a second motor pivots the second arc-shaped arm. An insertion member is fitted in the first elongated through-hole and the second elongated through-hole.

Abstract: Convenience and usefulness of a tele-existence system are enhanced taking notice of the possibility by collaboration of tele-existence and a head-mounted display apparatus. A movable member is supported for pivotal motion on a housing (20). In the housing, a driving motor and a transmission member for transmitting rotation of the driving motor to the movable member are provided. A state information acquisition unit acquires facial expression information and/or emotion information of a user who wears a head-mounted display apparatus (100). A driving controlling unit controls rotation of the driving motor on the basis of the facial expression information and/or the emotion information.

Abstract: A control apparatus is connected to a device for detecting a user's hand motion, controls a motion of a virtual character, and decides, in accordance with a detection result of hand motion by the device, whether the detected motion is a first instruction action or a second instruction action. The first instruction action achieves a match between a hand motion of the character and the user's hand motion. The second instruction action instructs an action different from the user's hand motion. When it is decided, as a result of the decision, that the detected user's hand motion is the first instruction action, the control apparatus achieves a match between the character's hand motion and the detected user's hand motion. When it is decided that the detected user's hand motion is the second instruction action, the control apparatus causes the character to perform an action different from the hand motion.

Abstract: A head-mounted display, a display control method, and a program that facilitate a user to understand proximity between the user and an object around the user are provided. A display block (36) is arranged in front of the eyes of the user wearing a HMD (12). In accordance with proximity between the user and an object around the user, the HMD (12) controls the display block (36) so as to have the user visually recognize a forward direction of the display block (36).

Abstract: Methods and apparatus provide for causing a device to present a sense of force against depressing of a button in response to receiving an input initiated by the user of a sense-of-force presentation start position in said predetermined movable range, and to store the sense-of-force presentation start position in a memory in response to the input initiated by the user; acquiring a depress amount of said button; receiving the sense-of-force presentation start position from the memory; and instructing the presentation of the sense of force against depressing of said button when said depress amount reaches said sense-of-force presentation start position.
