A non-limiting example training instrument comprises a hollow main body formed of an aluminum alloy. The main body is constituted by two gripping portions opposite to each other with a space therebetween and a coupling portion coupling the two gripping portions. A load sensor is arranged in the coupling portion inside the main body. The load sensor is a load cell, a strain gauge affixed to an interior of the main body, and a part of the main body to which the strain gauge is affixed functions as a strain body. Therefore, if a user applies a force so as to bring the two gripping portions close to each other or a force so as to move the two gripping portions away from each other, a load thereof is detected by the load sensor.

Training instrument and input device

An example of a display system includes a sensor, a projector, and control means. The sensor senses user information for calculating a state regarding sleep of a user. The user information is, for example, biological information such as pulse. The projector projects and displays a predetermined image. The projector, for example, projects the image upward to project and display the image on the ceiling. The control means controls the projector in accordance with a state regarding sleep, which is calculated on the basis of the user information.

Display system and display device

Provided is a projection system that sets an arbitrary three-dimensional shape as a projection target and properly corrects geometric distortion of a projected image even when a user's viewpoint is not fixed. A projection unit of the projector apparatus projects a test image for first adjustment. A three-dimensional shape measurement unit measures the three-dimensional shape of the projection target. An image capturing apparatus captures the test image for first adjustment projected by the projection unit to obtain a captured image for first adjustment. A projected image adjustment unit (1) performs first adjustment processing for correcting an image such that geometric image distortion viewed from an imaging point, at which the captured image for first adjustment has been captured, is reduced, based on a captured image for first adjustment obtained by the image capturing apparatus, and (2) performs second adjustment processing for correcting the image such that the geometric image distortion is reduced based on a state in which the image adjusted by the first adjustment processing is projected by the projection unit.

Projection system, projector apparatus, image capturing apparatus, and projection method

Provided is a projection system that easily and appropriately reduces the geometric distortion of the image projected on the projection plane. The projection circuitryof the projection systemprojects a test image onto the projection plane. The three-dimensional shape measurement circuitrymeasures the three-dimensional shape of the projection plane. The controllergenerates a control signal. Based on the measured three-dimensional shape data, the projection image adjustment circuitryperforms correction processing and rotation processing on a test, in accordance with the control signal, such that the geometrical image distortion is reduced as viewed from the user's viewpoint.

Projection system, projector apparatus, and projection method

An information processing apparatus is set to always obtain information, even while an application is not being executed, and effectively using the obtained information. A state of the environment in a place where the information processing apparatus is present is detected. Detection data indicating the state of the environment detected by the detection section is stored. An operation mode is switched at least between a normal mode in which power is being supplied to the application execution section and the predetermined application can be executed, and a power saving mode in which at least supply of power to the application execution section is restricted and the predetermined application cannot be executed. At least in the power saving mode, a state of the environment is detected, and detection data indicating the state of the environment detected is stored in the first storage section at predetermined time intervals.

Information processing apparatus, information processing system, and information processing method

An operating device has a narrow housing, and in this housing, an acceleration sensor and/or a gyro sensor are accommodated. Operation data inclusive of acceleration data and/or angular velocity data acquired from the acceleration sensor and/or the gyro sensor is transmitted by an operation data transmitter. Then, at a lower end of the housing, an elastic member having a spherical surface or substantially a spherical surface is provided.

Operating device and information processing system

A game system as an information processing system includes a game apparatus and a controller, and the controller is attached with an attachment device. The controller images an image including infrared rays output from markers arranged on a monitor through a half mirror integrated in the attachment device. Furthermore, the controller images an image including an infrared ray from a pen input device reflected by the half mirror via a touch panel. In the former, the controller functions as an input device for a direct coordinate input, and in the latter, the controller functions as a pen tablet.

Input device and information processing system

A game system as an information processing system includes a game apparatus and a controller, and the controller is attached with an attachment device. In a case that a slit plate of the attachment device is removed, the controller detects positions of high-intensity parts as to infrared ray output from markers provided on a monitor, and designates coordinates on the monitor screen thereby. Alternatively, in a case that the slit plate is loaded, when a card printed and so forth with a dot pattern is slid along a guide groove of the attachment device, a position of a high-intensity part of a plurality of dots to which infrared ray is irradiated is detected, so that information processing based on the dot pattern is executed.
