Abstract: A control system according to the present technology includes a control apparatus and a control-subject apparatus. The control-subject apparatus includes a first execution unit and a first output unit. The first execution unit performs a predetermined operation in response to a control signal output from the control apparatus. The first output unit outputs a tactile-sensation-related information item relating to the predetermined operation. The control apparatus includes a detection unit, a second output unit, and a second execution unit. The detection unit detects a state of the control apparatus. The second output unit outputs the control signal corresponding to the detected state. The second execution unit performs, on the basis of the tactile-sensation-related information item output from the first output unit, a tactile-sensation presentation operation for presenting a tactile sensation.

Abstract: [Object] An object of the present technology is to provide a haptic-feedback presenting apparatus, a haptic-feedback presenting system, and a haptic-feedback presenting method capable of presenting information mapped in space without vision and audition.[Solving Means] A haptic-feedback presenting apparatus according to the present technology includes a mapping-information acquisition part, a region detection part, and a haptic-feedback arithmetic part. The mapping-information acquisition part acquires mapping information that is information mapped in space. The region detection part sets a detection-target region, and determines whether or not the mapping information included in the detection-target region is a threshold or more. The haptic-feedback arithmetic part calculates a haptic feedback to be presented to a user on the basis of a determination result from the region detection part.

Abstract: A host device may include an imaging unit configured to capture an image of a guest device, and a communication unit configured to communicate with the guest device. The host device may include circuitry configured to identify, in the image of the guest device, identification information corresponding to the guest device, the identification information being displayed on a screen included on the guest device. The circuitry may calculate, based on the identification of the identification information in the image, an arrangement position of the guest device. The circuitry may assign, based on the calculated arrangement position, assigned data to the guest device. The circuitry may transmit one or more of the calculated arrangement position and information associated with the assigned data to the guest device.

Abstract: [Object] An object of the present technology is to provide an information processing apparatus, an information processing system, and an information processing method capable of allowing a user to approach a destination intuitively.
[Solving Means] An information processing apparatus according to the present technology includes a position-coordinate acquisition part, a direction acquisition part, a direction calculation part, and a haptic-feedback determining part. The position-coordinate acquisition part acquires a position coordinate of the information processing apparatus. The direction acquisition part acquires an apparatus direction that the information processing apparatus faces. The direction calculation part calculates a target direction being a direction of a target with respect to the information processing apparatus from a position coordinate of the target and the position coordinate of the information processing apparatus. The haptic-feedback determining part determines a haptic feedback to be presented to a user on the basis of an angle formed by the apparatus direction and the target direction.
