The present technology relates to a signal processing apparatus and method, an acoustic reproduction apparatus, and a program that can achieve more realistic acoustic presentation. The signal processing apparatus includes an acoustic transfer characteristic convolution processing unit that convolves an acoustic transfer characteristic according to a current position of a presentation destination of a virtual sound source among the acoustic transfer characteristic associated with each position in a space and virtual sound source data of the virtual sound source. The present technology can be applied to an acoustic reproduction system.

Signal processing apparatus and method, acoustic reproduction apparatus, and program

A right holder information checking unit () (checking unit) of a content checking device () (information processing device) checks whether content () posted by a poster () to a virtual space in which one or more pieces of content can be shared has right holder information indicating that the content is appropriate content permitted to be posted by the right holder of the content ().

Information processing device, information processing system, and program

An information processing device is provided which includes a first acquisition unit () configured to acquire a control command that is inputted by a first user and corresponds to presentation unit information for designating a presentation unit for presenting a tactile stimulus by a tactile presentation device and mode information for designating a mode of the tactile stimulus; a generation unit () configured to generate a tactile control signal for presenting the tactile stimulus to the presentation unit in accordance with the control command; and a first distribution unit () configured to distribute the tactile control signal to the tactile presentation device worn on a body of a second user, in which the tactile control signal corresponds to at least one of a presentation timing, frequency, interval, waveform, presentation time, and intensity of the tactile stimulus.

Information processing device, information processing terminal, and program

Provided is a decoding device including a decoding unit configured to decode a plurality of pieces of encoded data on the basis of encoding method information that has been received, received bitstream data including the plurality of pieces of encoded data in which a plurality of segments of a tactile signal has been respectively encoded, in which the encoding method information includes information indicating in which encoding method of a plurality of encoding methods the respective segments of the tactile signal have been encoded, the plurality of encoding methods includes a simple tactile encoding method corresponding to a simple tactile signal related to a beginning segment of the tactile signal, the plurality of pieces of encoded data includes simple tactile encoded data in which the simple tactile signal has been encoded in the simple tactile encoding method, and the decoding unit decodes the simple tactile encoded data, in a case where the encoding method information indicates the simple tactile encoding method.

Decoding device, decoding method, and program

To favorably reduce crosstalk components output from respective speakers that reproduce left and right ear signals. Directivity is given to a left ear signal and a right ear signal and the left ear signal and the right ear signal are reproduced by using at least two respective speakers arranged back-to-back to reduce crosstalk components. For example, the speaker may be a speaker installed in a headrest or a seat provided with the headrest. For example, the directivity given to the left ear signal and the directivity given to the right ear signal may be bidirectional directivity or unidirectional directivity.
