Abstract: There is provided a server including a reception section which receives, from a client terminal, present position information showing a position of the client terminal, and direction information showing an orientation of the client terminal, a retrieval section which retrieves sensory data to which detection position information is added corresponding to a position in a vicinity of an axial line extending in a direction shown by the direction information from the position of the client terminal, and a transmission section which transmits the sensory data retrieved by the retrieval section to the client terminal.

Abstract: A first-person viewpoint image captured by a camera mounted on a radio-controlled model is displayed on a head mount display and is enjoyed. When a whole-sky image captured by a camera unit 605 mounted on a model apparatus 120 is reproduced and displayed with a head mount display 110, a CPU 601 moves the display field so as to offset the motion of the head of a user detected by a posture/location detecting unit 604. In this manner, an image that follows the motion of the head of the user is displayed. Meanwhile, on the side of the head mount display 110, a combined image generated by superimposing an AR image as virtual image information on the actual image in the display field is displayed.

Abstract: Provided is a signal processing device including a display control unit for causing a display to display an image corresponding to a specified place, a sound-collection-signal input unit for inputting a sound collection signal of a sound collection unit that collects a user sound produced with microphones surrounding the user, an acoustic-signal processing unit for performing a first acoustic-signal process for reproducing a sound field where the user sound is sensed as if the sound were echoing in the place on the signal input by the sound-collection-signal input unit, based on a first transfer function measured in the place to indicate how a sound emitted on a closed surface inside the place echoes in the place and then is transferred to the closed-surface side, and a sound-emission control unit for causing a sound based on the processed signal to be emitted from speakers surrounding the user.

Abstract: There is provided a content acquisition device including a content acquisition unit configured to acquire content, and a transmission unit configured to transmit, to an outside, the content acquired by the content acquisition unit and identification information unique to the content acquisition device.
