[Object] It is desirable to provide a technology capable of more enjoyably managing a target object. [Solution] Provided is a display control device including a display control unit configured to perform control such that an image corresponding to state information of a target object located in a field of view of a user is displayed at a position having a predetermined positional relation with a position of the target object and an output control unit configured to control output of comment information of the target object corresponding to the state information of the target object and feature information of the target object.

Display control device, display control method, and program

[Object] It is desirable to provide a technology of enabling a user to easily comprehend one target object whose AR information is presented to the user. [Solution] Provided is a display control device, including: a display control unit configured to control display of information related to a target object located in a field of view of a user, in which, in a case in which it is determined that at least a part of the target object is shielded by another object on the basis of a position of the user, the display control unit controls display of an image related to the target object such that the target object shielded in the field of view is displayed in a form different from a form visually recognized by the user.

A processing buffer unit stores an audio signal. A pitch calculation unit and a pitch cycle correction unit calculate a multiple of N as the number of samples in a pitch cycle of the audio signal, in which N is an integer equal to or more than 1. A processing control unit and a start-position movement amount correction unit sequentially determine, as a sample in a start position of a compression process in a time axis domain of the audio signal, a (multiple of N)-th sample from a start position immediately before the start position. An operation unit compresses samples in a predetermined number times the pitch cycle from the sample in the start position in a time axis domain, and sets the number of samples after the compression to be the multiple of N. The present technology, for example, may be applied to an audio signal processing apparatus.

Signal processing apparatus, signal processing method, and program

A voice processing device includes a voice pitch converting unit that performs a voice pitch converting process with respect to an input voice signal and converts voice pitch of the input voice signal, an error detecting unit that detects an error between the number of samples of an output voice signal, which is expected, and the number of samples of the output voice signal, which is actually output, and a time length control unit that controls adjustment of the time length in such a manner that the time length of the output voice signal is corrected by the amount of the error.

Voice processing device and method, and program

A highlight portion is detected to a high accuracy from acoustic signals in say an event, and an index is added to the highlight portion. In an acoustic signal processing apparatus, a candidate domain extraction unitretains a domain, a length of which with short-term amplitudes as calculated by an amplitude calculating unitnot being less than an amplitude threshold value is not less than a time threshold value, as a candidate domain. A feature extraction unitextracts sound quality featuring quantities, relevant to the sound quality, from the acoustic signals, to quantify the sound quality peculiar to a climax. A candidate domain evaluating unitcalculates a score value, indicating the degree of the climax, using featuring quantities relevant to the amplitude or the sound quality for each candidate domain, in order to detect a true highlight domain, based on the so calculated score value. An index generating unitgenerates and outputs an index including the start and end positions and the score values of the highlight domain.
