Abstract

There is provided an information processing device including: a processing unit configured to perform a process of generating preparation information on the basis of first output information regarding a first target acquired from a sensor that senses a predetermined range of an actual space and second output information regarding a second target acquired from a device carried by a user. The preparation information is used to generate operation information on the basis of third output information acquired from the sensor.
