Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a receiving apparatus and method, a transmitting apparatus and method, and a program, which can vibrate a device in a specific area of a receiving area. An example, in which users wearing respective wearable receiving apparatuses are freely moving in the receiving area, is shown. A directional transmitting device unit transmits an area designation signal, and the reachable range of the signal is shown as a beam irradiation area. Only the user in the beam irradiation area receives the area designation signal transmitted by the directional transmitting device unit. The present disclosure can be applied to, for example, a video projection system that vibrates a receiving apparatus by transmission and reception of a directional wireless signal in the specific area where the video is projected.

Abstract: There is provided an output control device to realize the control of the output position at the device more efficiently, the output control device including: a controller that, on the basis of a common signal to be employed by a plurality of devices, conducts an output control in regard to a plurality of output units provided in the device. The common signal includes information specifying an output unit serving as a control object. The controller generates a control signal derived by correcting the output unit serving as the control object on the basis of positional information of the device and the common signal which are acquired, and conducts the output control specific to the device on the basis of the control signal.

Abstract: There is provided an input apparatus including: a pressure detecting unit which detects press pressure of an operational body applied to a virtual key having one or more input candidates allocated selectively; and an input control unit which varies a selection state of the one or more input candidates selectively allocated to the virtual key for every pressing operation having, as a single time of pressing operation, timing that the press pressure detected by the pressure detecting unit exceeds a predetermined selection threshold value or timing that the press pressure becomes smaller than the selection threshold value as being attenuated after exceeding the selection threshold value.
