Abstract: An information processing device estimates an attitude of a hand of a user holding a controller with the hand. The information processing device has an acquisition unit, a determination unit, and an estimation unit. The acquisition unit acquires inertial information from an inertial sensor provided in the controller. The determination unit determines whether a specific portion of the hand of the user is detected in a captured image acquired by imaging of an imaging unit. The estimation unit estimates the attitude of the hand of the user on a basis of the captured image and the inertial information in a case where the specific portion is detected in the captured image.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus performs control, in a first control mode, so that a first display item is displayed on a display region of a display unit, the first display item indicating a position based on inertial information of a controller. The information processing apparatus performs control, in a second control mode, so that a second display item is displayed on the display region, the second display item indicating a position according to a first operation performed on a specified operation member in a first area of the display region. The information processing apparatus performs, in a case where the position indicated by the first display item is included in a second area of the display region in the first control mode, switching from the first control mode to the second control mode in response to a specified operation.

Abstract: A computer to receives a first set of data associated with movements of a second hand of the user on a first side of the first hand of the user and receiving a second set of data associated with movements of the second hand of the user on a second side of the first hand of the user. The first set of data is mapped to a first side of the transparent display and the second set of data is mapped to a second side of the transparent display. The approach includes receiving a first set of sensor data associated with movements of the second hand of the user on the first hand of the user and determining a manipulation of a content on a side of the transparent display corresponding to the first set of sensor data and sending instructions to the transparent display to display the content.
