The present technique relates to an information processing apparatus, and an information processing method in which data of content is acquired, and a first visual field image corresponding to a visual field of a first user is cut out from a content image based on the data of the content. In addition, visual field information representing a visual field of a second user viewing the content image is acquired. Furthermore, in a display apparatus, the first visual field image is displayed, and the visual field of the second user is displayed based on the visual field information of the second user. The present technique can be applied to, for example, a case where a plurality users views content, such as a spherical image and a free viewpoint image.

An optical system includes an incident part, a first reflective surface, a second reflective surface, a third reflective surface, and an exit part. The incident part is rotationally symmetric around a central axis. Incident light from the incident part intersects the central axis and enters the first reflective surface. Reflected light from the first reflective surface intersects the central axis and enters the second reflective surface. Reflected light from the second reflective surface enters the third reflective surface.

A panoramic device includes a base member and a clamp member rotatably interconnected within a single plane of rotation with the base that includes a first rotatable knob to selectively inhibit the rotation of the clamp member with respect to the base. The upper surface includes a central region that is at a different elevation than another portion of the upper surface. The clamp includes a pair of opposed surfaces suitable to detachably secure a camera thereto. The one of the opposed surfaces is maintained in a fixed relationship with respect to the clamp member. The other one of the opposed surfaces is in a movable relationship with respect to the clamp member using a second rotatable knob. The first knob and the second knob are rotatably connected with respect to one another.

System and method for improving the shaving experience by providing improved visibility of the skin shaving area. A digital camera is integrated with the electric shaver for close image capturing of shaving area, and displaying it on a display unit. The display unit can be integral part of the electric shaver casing, or housed in a separated device which receives the image via a communication channel. The communication channel can be wireless (using radio, audio or light) or wired, such as dedicated cabling or using powerline communication. A light source is used to better illuminate the shaving area. Video compression and digital image processing techniques are used for providing for improved shaving results. The wired communication medium can simultaneously be used also for carrying power from the electric shaver assembly to the display unit, or from the display unit to the electric shaver.

An image capturing apparatus includes an optical system, an image capturing unit, a posture detection unit, and a control unit. The optical system forms an image of a light beam from an object. The image capturing unit obtains image data corresponding to the light beam by the optical system. The posture detection unit detects a posture of the image capturing apparatus. The control unit determines based on the posture whether the image capturing apparatus is in a mode to perform shooting in a state in which an optical axis of the optical system faces a zenith or in a mode to perform shooting in a state in which the optical axis of the optical system faces a photographer side. The control unit changes control in a shooting operation using the image capturing unit in accordance with a result of the determination.
