Abstract:
1. An information processing apparatus comprising: a casing; a plurality of active elements disposed in different locations on or within the casing, each of the plurality of active elements being configured to provide a sensory output to a user; and circuitry configured to detect a first location of the information processing apparatus; receive information representing a target location from a target information processing apparatus; detect a target direction from the first location toward the target location; detect an orientation of the casing; calculate an angular difference between the target direction and the orientation of the casing; determine an output strength of each of the plurality of active elements based on the angular difference; and control each of the plurality of active elements based on the output strengths to provide the sensory output to the user.
