Abstract

Provided is an information processing apparatus that includes an output processing unit, a recognized-position acquisition unit, and a comparing unit. The output processing unit generates a sound by using a head-related transfer function of a user measured in advance, the sound being to be output from a virtual sound source located at a first position in a space around the user. The recognized-position acquisition unit acquires information of a second position in the space, the second position being recognized as a position of the virtual sound source by the user who has listened to the sound. The comparing unit compares the first position and the second position with each other. The output processing unit controls the position of the virtual sound source of the sound output toward the user on the basis of a result of the comparison by the comparing unit.
