Abstract
Provided is a configuration to make a virtual viewpoint image be a more natural stereoscopic image. The virtual viewpoint image is transmitted/received between information processing apparatuses that execute bidirectional communication. A processor calculates a virtual viewpoint position corresponding to a position of a virtual camera that captures a virtual viewpoint image on the basis of viewing position information of a viewing user of the virtual viewpoint image, and generates the virtual viewpoint image corresponding to a captured image from the virtual viewpoint position. The virtual viewpoint image is generated based on the captured image of a real camera that captures an object user, and the virtual viewpoint image is generated by setting a capture direction of a virtual camera to a point C, wherein the point C is in a position different from the object user.
