Abstract
An information processing apparatus comprises an identification unit configured to identify a position and an orientation of an image capturing apparatus; a reception unit configured to receive an input associated with a switching operation for switching an image to be output between a captured image acquired by the image capturing apparatus and a virtual viewpoint image generated based on a plurality of captured images captured from different directions; and a determination unit configured to determine a position and an orientation of a virtual viewpoint corresponding to the virtual viewpoint image such that, in a specific period after the input associated with the switching operation is received, the position and the orientation of the virtual viewpoint and the identified position and the identified orientation of the image capturing apparatus match each other.
