Abstract: An information processing apparatus is configured to acquire sound data, acquire, as teacher vibration data, vibration data that is created on the basis of the sound data and that is used to cause a vibration device to vibrate, and execute machine learning by using the sound data and the teacher vibration data, to generate learned model data that is used to convert an input sound waveform into an output vibration waveform. The information processing apparatus executes the machine learning by using a value obtained by analysis of a frequency spectrum of the sound data as an input feature amount.

Abstract: A control device generates a first image in which, together with an object in the real world appearing in an image captured by a camera of a robot, a virtual object appears and which presents an exterior appearance of the virtual object while the position of the camera of the robot is set as a view-point. An HMD displays the first image generated by the control device. In a case in which the position of the HMD in the height direction changes, the control device generates a second image from which the object in the real world is deleted and which presents the exterior appearance of the virtual object viewed from a new view-point according to the change in the position of the HMD in the height direction. The HMD displays the second image in place of the first image.
