Information processing apparatus, control method, program, and storage media

1. An information processing apparatus connected to a first device fixed to a left hand of a user and to a second device fixed to a right hand of the user, comprising:

detection means detecting a position of the first device and a position of the second device; and

calculation means calculating information associated with a size of the hand of the user on a basis of a difference between the detected positions.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

guidance means guiding the user to a pose with the hand of the user; and

decision means deciding whether or not the hand of the user hold the guided pose, wherein

when the decision means decides that the hand of the user hold the guided pose, the detection means detects the position of the first device and the position of the second device, and the calculation means calculates information associated with the size of the hand of the user on the basis of a difference between the detected positions.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein,

at least one of the first device and the second device has a shock sensor detecting a shock,

the guidance means guides a pose in which the left hand and the right hand are brought into contact with each other in a predetermined position, and

after the guidance by the guidance means, when the shock sensor of the at least one of the first device and the second device detects the shock, the decision means decides that the hand of the user hold the guided pose.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein

each the first device and the second device has an inclination sensor for detecting an inclination angle, and

after the guidance by the guidance means, in a state in which a difference between the inclination angle detected by the inclination sensor of the first device and the inclination angle detected by the inclination sensor of the second device falls within a range of predetermined threshold values, when a predetermined time has elapsed, the decision means decides that the hand of the user hold the guided pose.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein

the pose guided by the guidance means is a pose in which a fingertip of a finger of the left hand and a fingertip of a same finger of the right hand are brought into contact with each other, in an extended position.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

each the first device and the second device has a sensor detecting a width of a palm of the hand, the sensor being fixed to a position where the sensor is brought into contact with at least a part of the palm of the hand of the user, and

the calculation means calculates information associated with the size of the hand of the user on the basis of the difference between the detected positions and of the width of the palm of the hand of the user, the width being detected by the sensor detecting the width of the palm of the hand.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

a size of at least a part of an object becoming a target to be displayed is set based on the information associated with the size of the hand of the user, the information being calculated by the calculation means, and the object of interest is displayed.

8. A method of controlling an information processing apparatus, by using the information processing apparatus connected to a first device fixed to a left hand of a user and to a second device fixed to a right hand of the user, comprising:

detecting a position of the first device and a position of the second device by detection means; and

calculating information associated with a size of the hand of the user on a basis of a difference between the detected positions by calculation means.

9. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program for an information processing apparatus connected to a first device fixed to a left hand of a user and to a second device fixed to a right hand of the user, the program comprising:

by detection means, detecting a position of the first device and a position of the second device; and

by calculation means, calculating information associated with a size of the hand of the user on a basis of a difference between the detected positions.
