Abstract

The present technique relates to a multi-direction communication apparatus, a multi-direction communication method, and a program capable of reducing an uncomfortable feeling to be provided to a user feeling that spaces are continuous in a multi-direction communication system. A reception section receives real space information including information representing a situation of a real space for a user B. A virtual data generation section generates, on the basis of the received real space information, virtual space information including information representing a situation of a virtual space. A control section controls display, on an information processing apparatus of a user A, of the virtual space represented by the generated virtual space information instead of the real space represented by the real space information. The present technique can be applied to a multi-direction communication system.
