Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes circuitry that is configured to provide a user interface to control a plurality of controllable objects. The user interface is associated with a gesture recognition area that is defined by a predetermined detection area of a sensor. The gesture recognition area is divided into a plurality of gesture recognition sub-areas based on a number of the controllable objects to be controlled by the user interface. The circuitry is further configured to detect a predetermined gesture within the predetermined detection area, determine the gesture recognition sub-area in which the predetermined gesture is detected, and perform an operation on one of the controllable objects based on the detected predetermined gesture and the determined gesture recognition sub-area in which the predetermined gesture is detected.
