Abstract: In an information processing system including a controller device including at least one vibration body, and an information processing apparatus outputting a control signal for the vibration body to the controller device, in vibration of the vibration body, sounds of the periphery are collected, and it is decided whether or not an allophone is generated in the controller device by using a signal of the collected sounds. When it is decided that the allophone is generated in the controller device, the information processing apparatus executes correction processing for the control signal for the vibration body, and outputs the control signal corrected by the correction processing.

Abstract: A controller device which is connected to an information processing apparatus and is to be worn on a user's hand. The controller device includes a device body to be gripped by the user, in which a sensor outputting a sensor output based on a change in a shape of a base part of the finger is disposed on the device body in a position so as to come into contact with the bases of at least some fingers of the user when the user grips the device body. The controller device receives information output from the sensor and related to the change in the shape of the base parts of the fingers of the user, and sends out the information to the connected information processing apparatus.

Abstract: An information processing system includes a controller device to be fastened to a user's hand and an information processing apparatus that is connected to the controller device to exchange information with the controller device. The controller device includes a vibrating element causing a housing of the controller device to vibrate, receives information indicating a vibration intensity of the vibrating element, and acquires information related to a contact area between the controller device and the user's hand so as to cause the vibrating element to vibrate. Also, the controller device or the information processing apparatus corrects information indicating the vibration intensity on a basis of information acquired by acquisition means of the controller device.
