Abstract
An information processing apparatus comprises: an input unit that inputs first image data used to display an image in a first mode and second image data used to display an image in a second mode; a switching unit that switches between the first and second modes; a generation unit that generates an image viewed from an arbitrary viewpoint based on the second image data; a designation unit that designates a viewpoint of an image to be generated by the generation unit; and a storage unit that stores the viewpoint of the image generated by the generation unit. The first and second image data are obtained by shooting a same subject in parallel with a plurality of image capturing apparatuses, and if a viewpoint is stored when the first mode is switched to the second mode, the designation unit designates the stored viewpoint.
