Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes an imaging section outputting an image signal; a detection section detecting coordinates of a contact point of a pointing object on a display section displaying a through-the-lens image on the basis of the image signal; and a control section obtaining, from the detection section, start-point coordinates of a contact point of the pointing object on the display section as a start point, and end-point coordinates of a leaving point of the pointing object from the display section after moving as an end point, holding a line segment determined by the start-point coordinates and the end-point coordinates in a memory, and fixedly displaying, with respect to a display screen of the display section, a line segment corresponding to an edge identified as closest to the line segment among edges of a subject included in the through-the-lens image as a shooting assistance line assisting shooting.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes an imaging unit configured to output an image signal, a detection unit configured to detect a coordinate of a contact position of an instructing body with respect to a display unit which displays an image based on the image signal, and a control unit configured to acquire a starting point coordinate of a starting point which is a position where the instructing body comes into contact with the display unit and an end point coordinate of an end point which is a position where the instructing body loses contact with the display unit and, when the starting point coordinate or the end point coordinate is not at an end portion of a screen of the display unit, cause imaging assist information to be displayed in the display unit such that the imaging assist information reaches at least two end portions of the screen.

Abstract: There is provided an information processing apparatus including an image obtaining unit for obtaining a captured image, generating unit for generating a graphic image for prompting a subject within the captured image obtained by the image obtaining unit to change a state, and an emission control unit for controlling emission of the graphic image generated by the generating unit onto the subject.

Abstract: There is provided an information processing apparatus including an emission unit for emitting a projection image onto a subject, which is to be photographed, so as to allow the subject to perform a predetermined operation, a recognizing unit for recognizing operation performed by the subject, and an execution unit for executing a predetermined processing according to the operation of the subject that is recognized by the recognizing unit.
