Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a display unit (331) and a control unit (350). The display unit (331) displays a virtual operation object to be superimposed on a reality space visually recognized by a user. The control unit (350) determines a superimposition target object on which the operation object is to be superimposed from among a plurality of objects existing around the user in the reality space, detects a movement of a hand of the user in a state where the operation object is displayed, and presents the operation object to the user while moving the operation object to approach the superimposition target object in conjunction with the detected movement of the hand of the user.

Abstract: There is provided an information processing apparatus, a tactile sense providing system, and a program that are intended for a real object and make it possible to provide a tactile sense. The information processing apparatus according to the present technology includes a real object detector, a body part detector, and a drive signal generator. The real object detector detects a real object. The body part detector detects a position and a pose of a part of a body. The drive signal generator generates a drive signal on the basis of a positional relationship between the real object and the part, the drive signal being supplied to a tactile sense providing mechanism that is worn on the part.

Abstract: In a terminal device (10), a communication unit (15) receives a counterpart utterance text in a counterpart language section and a counterpart utterance speech in a counterpart non-language section, and a control unit (11) outputs the counterpart utterance text after performing language translation, and outputs the counterpart utterance speech in the counterpart non-language section without performing language translation. For example, the control unit (11) outputs the counterpart utterance speech in the counterpart non-language section before outputting a result of the language translation of the counterpart utterance text.
