Abstract
An information processing apparatus acquires a video captured by an imaging apparatus, acquires a plurality of sounds picked up by a plurality of sound pickup apparatuses in sync with capturing of the video, acquires state information regarding an attention state of a viewer to the video, and generates audio to be reproduced with the video by combining the plurality of sounds, wherein, in a case where the state information indicates that the viewer is having an overall view of the video, a plurality of sounds picked up by a plurality of sound pickup apparatuses set inside an area being watched by the viewer in the video are combined with an equal ratio, and sounds picked up by sound pickup apparatuses set outside the area are combined with a ratio that is reduced as the distance from the area to the sound pickup apparatuses increases.
