Abstract:
1. An information-processing apparatus comprising: an acquisition unit configured to acquire positional information of a stimulation generation unit, the stimulation generation unit being arranged so as to be capable of applying stimulation to a body part of a user; a first determination unit configured to determine whether the virtual object and the stimulation generation unit contact each other based on position and orientation information of the virtual object and the positional information of the stimulation generation unit; a second determination unit configured to determine whether or not a position where the virtual object and the stimulation generation unit contact each other is located within a view volume representing a view range of the user in a case where it is determined that the virtual object and the stimulation generation unit contact each other; and an output unit configured to generate a first stimulation by controlling an operation of the stimulation generation unit in a case where it is determined that the position is located within the view volume, and to generate a second stimulation which is stronger than the first stimulation by controlling the stimulation unit in a case where it is determined that the position is not located within the view volume.
