Information processing apparatus and information processing method

An information processing apparatus comprising:

• first acquisition unit adapted to acquire a measured value of a physical quantity measured using a measuring device in a predetermined region on a real space;
• second acquisition unit adapted to acquire a position where the measuring device performs the measurement;
• calculation unit adapted to calculate an analytic value of the physical quantity at the position in the predetermined region by executing calculation processing using data prepared in advance for the predetermined region;
• arrangement unit adapted to arrange a first object representing the measured value acquired by said first acquisition unit at a place corresponding to the position on a virtual space which has a coordinate system that matches a coordinate system of the real space, and to arrange a second object representing the analytic value calculated by said calculation unit at the place;
• generation unit adapted to generate an image which is seen upon viewing the virtual space on which the first and second objects are arranged from a viewpoint;
• and
• output unit adapted to output the image generated by said generation unit.
