Information processing apparatus

An information processing apparatus comprising:

• an image acquisition unit that acquires a captured image;
• and
• a distribution unit that, upon receiving a range of image specified in association with a first display apparatus of a first user, clips a first partial image out of the captured image, in the range from the acquired captured image and distributes the clipped first partial image to the first display apparatus, and upon a display switching instruction being made in association with the first display apparatus, distributes a second partial image clipped out of the captured image in a range specified in association with a second display apparatus of a second user, to the first display apparatus;
• and
• a transmission unit that transmits data indicative of a direction corresponding to the second display apparatus, to the first display apparatus;
• wherein the first display apparatus includes an output unit that outputs the direction indicated by the data in a manner that allows the first user to discern the direction, wherein the distribution unit distributes, in response to an instruction to change an orientation of the first display apparatus to the direction corresponding to the second display apparatus, the second partial image clipped in a range specified in association with the second display apparatus, to the first display apparatus.
