There are provided a controller apparatus and a control method thereof. The controller apparatus is held by a hand of a user and includes a microphone, a tactile sensation presentation device that presents a tactile sensation to the hand of the user, and a speaker. In addition, during a period in which the user inputs sound from the microphone, the controller apparatus reduces emission of sound of the speaker and causes the tactile sensation presentation device to perform control of tactile sensation presentation.

Controller apparatus and control method thereof

Provided is an information processing apparatus that is to be connected to a controller apparatus including a push-button, a force sense presentation section, and the push-button. The push-button moves between a first position and a second position when depressed by a finger of a user. The force sense presentation section presents a force sense to the push-button. The information processing apparatus determines, according to a prescribed force sense setting, the aspect of a force sense to be imparted to the push-button, and controls the force sense presentation section of the controller apparatus, according to the determination. Each time a predefined operation is performed, the information processing apparatus changes the force sense setting from a current force sense setting to a different force sense setting.

Information processing apparatus, method for controlling the same, and program

The information processing apparatus is connected to a controller apparatus provided with a push button which moves from a first position to a second position by being pushed by a user's finger. The information processing apparatus acquires the push-in amount of the push button of the controller apparatus, determines whether or not the push-in amount is in a range that excludes the first position and the second position and is configured by two threshold values set between the first position and the second position, and performs predetermined processing on the basis of the result of the determination.

Information processing apparatus and control method for controller apparatus

An information processing apparatus that is connected to a device having a button that can be pressed within a prescribed movement range, detecting the push-in position when the button is pressed, and being capable of presenting a resistance force against a pressing force of the button and that determines control information indicating the magnitude of the resistance force to be presented, which relates to the push-in position of the button on the basis of a determination standard that includes at least one of the number of pressing actions, past maximum push-in position, and duration of pressing operation of the button of the device.
