Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and program

An information processing method comprising, by a processor:

• receiving data from a communication destination;
• generating space image information in which an image corresponding to a space of the communication destination is disposed at a predetermined position in a three-dimensional space;
• controlling a virtual separation distance between the communication source and the communication destination in the three-dimensional space;
• disposing the image corresponding to the space of the communication destination at a position corresponding to the separation distance and
• performing control such that the generated space image information is displayed on a display unit in a communication source.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising a program for causing a computer to function as:

• a reception unit configured to receive data from a communication destination;
• a generation unit configured to generate space image information in which an image corresponding to a space of the communication destination is disposed at a predetermined position in a three-dimensional space;
• a distance control unit configured to control a virtual separation distance between the communication source and the communication destination in the three-dimensional space, wherein the generation unit is configured to dispose the image corresponding to the space of the communication destination at a position corresponding to the separation distance;
• and
• a display control unit configured to perform control such that the generated space image information is displayed on a display unit in a communication source.
