  • Patent number: 11741925
    Abstract: There is provided an information processing device, an information processing method, and a program that further improve skills. A load weight control unit controls generation of a load weight that becomes a load with respect to motion when a keyboard is depressed by a pianist, and a keystroke recognition unit recognizes motion of the keyboard. Then, the load weight control unit performs control of starting generation of a predetermined load weight at a timing when the keystroke recognition unit recognizes that the keyboard started to be depressed, and ending generation of the load weight at a timing when the keystroke recognition unit recognizes that the keyboard ended to be depressed and started to return. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a performance skill improvement system that evaluates and trains pianists' force sense.

  • Publication number: 20230054973
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus (100) includes an estimation unit (132) that estimates time-series information regarding a posture of a finger on the basis of image information including an operation of the finger with respect to an object including a contact operation of the finger with respect to the object and the object. The estimation unit (132) estimates the time-series information regarding the posture of the finger by using a first machine learning model learned to estimate the time-series information regarding the posture of the finger on the basis of the image information including the operation of the finger and the object.

  • Publication number: 20230037640
    Abstract: There is provided a measurement device which is operable to measure a movable range of a finger easily in a further small size and a measurement method, and a program. The measurement device includes: a first linear motion mechanism which has a contacting part contacting a back of a hand and linearly moves along a longitudinal direction, the back of the hand serving as reference of measurement; a second linear motion mechanism which moves together with a finger targeted for the measurement and linearly moves along a longitudinal direction; and a rotation mechanism which rotatably connects one end of the first linear motion mechanism and one end of the second linear motion mechanism and has a sensor detecting a rotation amount of the second linear motion mechanism, the second linear motion mechanism rotating with respect to the first linear motion mechanism.
