An electronic apparatus and an information processing method are described, which solve the technical problem that the relative position between respective bodies of wearable devices are unchangeable, and achieve the technical effect that a relative position between a display body and a fixation body of the electronic apparatus are changeable. The electronic apparatus includes a display body configured to output image information in a display state; a fixation body configured to maintain a relative position relationship between the electronic apparatus and at least a portion of a user's body when the electronic apparatus is in a fixed state; and a connection device configured to connect the display body and the fixation body and through which a relative position between the display body and the fixation body can be changed.

An attribute acquiring unit (12) acquires pieces of area information indicating multiple split areas into which the screen of a display (42) equipped with a touch sensor (22) is split, and attribution information for each of the multiple split areas. An area specifying unit (14) specifies a split area including the position of an operation device (21) detected by a position detecting unit (11) by using the pieces of area information acquired by the attribute acquiring unit (12). An action specifying unit (15) specifies an action corresponding to details of an operation performed on the operation device (21), the details being detected by an operation detail detecting unit (13), by using the attribution information corresponding to the split area specified by the area specifying unit (14), and outputs information indicating the action to an HMI control unit (31).

A control apparatus of a network camera includes a determination unit configured to determine an overlapping state of a cursor with each of a slider bar and a slider thumb, which configure a slider control, on a display screen of a display unit, a decision unit configured to decide information that relates to the slider control and is to be displayed on the display unit, based on a condition corresponding to a result of the determination by the determination unit, a display control unit configured to display the information decided by the decision unit on the display unit, and a transmission unit configured to transmit, to the network camera, a control signal that corresponds to a position of the slider thumb and is changed in response to input of an instruction by a user.

Included are a list display instructor for causing a display to display an at-a-glance list including a plurality of items representing information to be provided to a user; a position acquisitor for acquiring a position of an input unit movably provided on the display; a size controller for calculating an amount of alteration in size of a display region of each item in the list displayed on the display in response to change in position of the input unit when the position of the input unit, which has been acquired by the position acquisitor, is changed; and a display alteration instructor for altering the size of a display region of each item in the list displayed on the display on the basis of the calculated amount of alteration in size of the display region of each item.

According to various embodiments, there is provided a pointing device for communicating with a computing device, the pointing device including: a switch operable to generate a control signal; a motion sensor configured to generate spatial data based on movements of a moveable part of the pointing device; a controller configured to inhibit transmission of the spatial data to the computing device, during a predetermined time interval immediately following a state change in the control signal.

Detection and tracking of a totem by a touchscreen touch controller mitigates false touches and false inputs by adapting capacitance at the totem feet. Totem feet have a capacitance that falls between a noise threshold and a finger touch threshold so that a pattern of the totem feet is detected separate from finger touches. Active capacitance is applied to one or more of the totem feet to enhance totem detection, such as by highlighting totem contact points of interest to an end user for a rotational versus linear input.

A mixed-reality sport simulation system includes a projectile-tracking sub-system to generate projectile-tracking data when a projectile is launched by a user, a near-eye display to display mixed-reality virtual objects displayed over physical objects within a field of view of a user representing lines of sight of the user, and a controller. The controller may direct the near-eye display to display a mixed-reality environment including virtual objects within the field of view. The near-eye display may provide an unobstructed real-world view for view vectors below a selected pitch angle and at least a portion of the mixed-reality environment for view vectors above a selected pitch angle. The controller may receive projectile-tracking data in real-time from the projectile-tracking sub-system and may direct the near-eye display to display one or more virtual objects representing a trajectory of the projectile within the mixed-reality environment in real-time based on the projectile-tracking data.

A rotating body, such as ball, disposed in a totem is selectively engaged and disengaged by a friction element to selectively restrict or allow motion of the totem on a touchscreen display. Engagement of the rotating body maintains a totem position on a touchscreen display, such as to support rotational inputs associated with a rotational user interface or to prevent the totem from sliding off the touchscreen display in response to tilting of the touchscreen display. Disengagement of the rotating body releases the totem to slide across the touchscreen display, such as to make inputs at a linear user interface.

A haptic device with ultrasonic actuation, including: a support, a user-interaction element movable at least in rotation and/or translation relative to the support, a first contact surface that moves as one with the interaction element, a second contact surface that moves as one with the support, resonators, and a control unit that excites the resonators at at least one resonance frequency, generating a vibration mode in a plane and an ultrasonic lubrication phenomenon between the first contact surface and the second contact surface.
