Abstract
There is provided an information processing apparatus including a waveform generation unit configured to generate a waveform according to a relative movement between two objects in a virtual space, and an output control unit configured to control a haptic output and a sound output on the basis of frequency distribution of the waveform generated by the waveform generation unit.
Claims13
An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor configured to:
- control reception of operation information from a device connected to the information processing apparatus, wherein the operation information indicates a user operation of the device;
- determine a relative movement between two objects in a virtual space based on the user operation of the device;
- control generation of a first waveform based on the relative movement between the two objects in the virtual space, wherein frequency distribution of the generated first waveform is based on a speed of the relative movement between the two objects;
- control a haptic output and a sound output of the device based on the frequency distribution of the generated first waveform;
- control the sound output based on the frequency distribution that includes a first frequency higher than a threshold frequency;
- and
- control the haptic output based on the frequency distribution that includes a second frequency lower than the threshold frequency.
