Publication number: 20220212081Abstract: To provide an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program that can detect a practice swing on the basis of sensor data from a motion sensor. An information processing apparatus includes a control section executing processing for detecting, on the basis of sensor data detected by a motion sensor provided on an object, that a practice swing has been performed with the object. The object includes a grip portion. Assuming that an X axis is a straight line parallel to an axis of the grip portion and that a Y axis runs straight to the X axis, the sensor data includes an angular velocity of the object in a Y axis direction. The control section detects that the practice swing has been performed in a case where the angular velocity of the object in the Y axis direction changes from positive to negative.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 21, 2019Publication date: July 7, 2022Inventor: TAKASHI KUBODERA
