The present technology relates to information processing apparatus and method, and a program, which are capable of presenting an operation input unit in a position in which a user easily performs an input operation. An imaging unit captures an image of a vicinity of a display unit. A hand recognition unit recognizes a hand by extracting a hand image obtained by capturing a hand, based on feature information of the hand, from the image captured by the imaging unit. The hand position detection unit specifies a real position on a display unit from information on a position in an image in which the hand image is present. A display control unit for an operation input unit displays an operation input unit in a position on the display unit which is specified based on the position of the hand detected by the hand position detection unit.
