Abstract: Provided is a controller apparatus mounted on a hand of a user, the controller apparatus including a controller body, first sensors arranged at positions on the controller body where a plurality of fingers of the user comes into contact when the user grasps the controller body, the first sensors configured to detect displacement in spatial position between the plurality of fingers of the user and the first sensors; buttons that are arranged at positions where fingertips of the user reach and that is operated by corresponding fingers, and a plurality of second sensors arranged between the first sensors and the buttons and on surfaces of the buttons, the second sensors configured to detect displacement in spatial position between the plurality of fingers of the user and the second sensors.

Abstract: An operation device includes an operation unit, a power generation element that generates power according to an operation of the operation unit, a battery that supplies power, and a communication unit that transmits an operation signal corresponding to the operation unit that has been operated. The communication unit transmits the operation signal by use of power supplied from the battery, in a case where a residual quantity of the battery is a predetermined residual quantity or larger. The communication unit transmits the operation signal by use of power generated by the power generation element, in a case where the residual quantity of the battery is smaller than the predetermined residual quantity.

Abstract: An information acquiring section acquires identification information recorded in a card. A behavior DB stores a kind-of-card ID, and software associated with the kind-of-card ID. A processing section, when the identification information is acquired by the information acquiring section, specifies software associated with a kind of card by referring to storage contents of the behavior DB. Incidentally, the behavior DB stores the kind-of-card ID and processing for software with the kind-of-card ID and the processing being associated with each other. The processing section executes the processing stored in the behavior DB for the specified software.

Abstract: Provided is a control apparatus connected to an operating apparatus and to an information processing apparatus. The operating apparatus receives an operation performed by a user. The information processing apparatus performs information processing based on an operation performed by the user at the operating apparatus. The control apparatus receives operation-related information indicating an operation performed by the user at the operating apparatus, acquires setting information regarding an operation content receivable by the operating apparatus, processes the received operation-related information according to the acquired setting information, and outputs the processed operation-related information to the information processing apparatus.

Abstract: Convenience and usefulness of a tele-existence system are enhanced taking notice of the possibility by collaboration of tele-existence and a head-mounted display apparatus. A movable member is supported for pivotal motion on a housing. In the housing, a driving motor and a transmission member for transmitting rotation of the driving motor to the movable member are provided. A state information acquisition unit acquires facial expression information and/or emotion information of a user who wears a head-mounted display apparatus. A driving controlling unit controls rotation of the driving motor on the basis of the facial expression information and/or the emotion information.

Abstract: A first arc-shaped arm has a first elongated through-hole formed in a longitudinal direction thereof, and a second arc-shaped arm has a second elongated through-hole formed in a longitudinal direction thereof. A pedestal supports the first arc-shaped arm and the second arc-shaped arm for pivotal motion in a crossing relationship with each other. A first motor pivots the first arc-shaped arm, and a second motor pivots the second arc-shaped arm. An insertion member is fitted in the first elongated through-hole and the second elongated through-hole.

Abstract: Convenience and usefulness of a tele-existence system are enhanced taking notice of the possibility by collaboration of tele-existence and a head-mounted display apparatus. A movable member is supported for pivotal motion on a housing (20). In the housing, a driving motor and a transmission member for transmitting rotation of the driving motor to the movable member are provided. A state information acquisition unit acquires facial expression information and/or emotion information of a user who wears a head-mounted display apparatus (100). A driving controlling unit controls rotation of the driving motor on the basis of the facial expression information and/or the emotion information.

Abstract: A reproduction information acquiring unit acquires information identifying content streams reproduced by the information processing apparatus. A content information acquiring unit acquires, from a communicating terminal apparatus, information identifying the content streams being reproduced by the communicating terminal apparatus. A display processing unit generates a display screen to be displayed on a display, by using the information acquired respectively by the reproduction information acquiring unit and the content information acquiring unit. A screen display unit displays the display screen generated.
