  • Patent number: 10754446
    Abstract: Provided are an information processing apparatus and an information processing method capable of executing processing on the basis of a rotation operation that allows a user to easily rotate an operating body. An information processing apparatus including a processing execution unit that executes predetermined processing on a basis of a result of detecting a rotation operation of moving an operation body to draw a track about a predetermined axis such that a second portion of the operating body, which is different from a first portion of the operating body that is determined to be in contact with or approaching an operation plane, has a larger rotation radius than a rotation radius of the first portion.
