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 apparatus is connected to a device fixed to a hand of a user, the device including a finger position sensor configured to detect a direction of a fingertip regarding one of an index finger, a middle finger, a ring finger, and a little finger of the hand of the user. The information processing apparatus acquires, on the basis of the direction of the fingertip regarding the one of the index finger, the middle finger, the ring finger, and the little finger detected by the finger position sensor and received from the device, information regarding an angle between the finger and a finger adjacent to the finger and estimates, on the basis of a result of the acquisition, an angle between respective fingers of the index finger, the middle finger, the ring finger, and the little finger of the hand of the user.
