1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- a Central Processing Unit (CPU) configured to;
determine a haptic delay time of a haptic output based on a virtual distance between a user viewpoint position and an occurrence position of a virtual event and based on a distance from a display screen to a user position in a real space;
control display of a visual output on the display screen, output of a sound output by a sound output device, and output of the haptic output by a vibration actuator;
delay the haptic output based on the determined haptic delay time,wherein the determined haptic delay time elapses from a time at which the visual output of the virtual event is displayed on the display screen; and
control the vibration actuator to generate the delayed haptic output based on the virtual event,wherein the vibration actuator is different from the sound output device.

Abstract
There is provided an information processing apparatus including a delay amount decision unit configured to decide a delay amount of a haptic output from occurrence of an event on the basis of an event occurring position in a virtual space, and a haptic output control unit configured to delay the haptic output according to the delay amount decided by the delay amount decision unit.

18. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform operations, the operations comprising:
-
determining a haptic delay time of a haptic output based on a virtual distance between a user viewpoint position and an occurrence position of a virtual event and based on a distance from a display screen to a user position in a real space; controlling display of a visual output on the display screen, output of a sound output by a sound output device, and output of the haptic output by a vibration actuator; delaying the haptic output based on the determined haptic delay time, wherein the determined haptic delay time elapses from a time at which the visual output of the virtual event is displayed on the display screen; and controlling the vibration actuator to generate the delayed haptic output based on the virtual event, wherein the vibration actuator is different from the sound output device.
