  • Publication number: 20180234661
    Abstract: There is provided an information processing device, an information processing method, and a program that make it possible to decrease reduction in a recognition rate corresponding to the amount of exercise of a user wearing a wearable device. Acceleration information is acquired as exercise state information, and movement speed is calculated. If the movement speed exceeds certain speed, a plurality of pieces of information is displayed in a time-division manner for a certain amount of information each with which amount a recognition rate is not decreased, whereby a plurality of pieces of information is displayed while reduction in the recognition rate is controlled. The present technology can be applied to a wearable device.
