  • Publication number: 20250061867
    Abstract: Determining and controlling an adjustment amount of at least one of an image quality of a display unit and a sound quality of a speaker on the basis of information regarding a viewing position of the user acquired from an imaging device. In a case where the viewing position is changed, the image quality is adjusted to luminance corresponding to the changed viewing position. In a case where the changed viewing position is farther than the viewing position before the change, the luminance of the display unit is increased, and in a case where the changed viewing position is closer than the viewing position before the change, the luminance is decreased. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a television receiver.
