Abstract: A frontal structure of an information processing apparatus, includes a plurality plate-like members, each member having a plurality of perforations opened at predetermined intervals therebetween, each perforation having a predetermined size and shape, and a light-emitting unit for emitting light toward the plate-like members. The plate-like members run in parallel and are arranged with one behind another and an entire or part of frontmost one of the plate-like members serves as an entire or part of front of a casing of the information processing apparatus.

Abstract: An image pickup system that is small in scale, handy to maneuver, easy to operate and advanced in editing capabilities is disclosed. A commander device is used both as a remote commander and as a microphone in operating a video camera for image pickup. Wearing a headset on the head, a user looks at images appearing on a headset display to monitor and verify recorded images without recourse to a view finder of the video camera. Functions of the components making up the system are changed by operation of a mode switch attached to the video camera.
