Abstract
The present technology relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program for enabling an intuitive operation to be performed on a virtual object in a manner similar to that in a case of a real object. An information processing apparatus as an aspect of the present technology includes a physical property setting unit configured to set a physical property in a virtual object that can be viewed together with an operating tool and a real object existing in a real space, a positional relationship detection unit configured to detect a virtual positional relationship among the operating tool, the real object and the virtual object, and a virtual object changing unit configured to change display of the virtual object on the basis of the virtual positional relationship that is detected. The present technology may be applied to a VR system.
