There is provided an information processing apparatus and information processing method that enable quick and accurate detection of a gesture of pinching a virtual object. The information processing apparatus includes a gesture detection unit that individually detects movement of a hand base portion that is a portion not including fingers of a hand of a user, and movement of a first finger of the hand, and detects a gesture in which the user pinches a virtual object, on the basis of the movement of the hand base portion and the movement of the first finger. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a head-mounted display.
