Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and program

An information processing method comprising:

• calculating, on a basis of data obtained by sensing of an operation body in chronological order, a relative velocity of a second point on the operation body with respect to a first point on the operation body;
• and
• recognizing, by a processor, a gesture of the operation body on a basis of the relative velocity.

A program for causing a computer to function as an information processing apparatus, the information processing apparatus comprising:

• a relative velocity calculation unit that calculates, on a basis of data obtained by sensing of an operation body in chronological order, a relative velocity of a second point on the operation body with respect to a first point on the operation body;
• and
• a gesture recognition unit that recognizes a gesture of the operation body on a basis of the relative velocity.
