Abstract
There is provided an information processing apparatus to achieve both the stabilization of estimation of the distance to a target physical body and the suppression of power consumption. The information processing apparatus includes: a first estimation unit configured to estimate a distance between a prescribed visual point and a physical body in a real space on the basis of result of detection of light that is sent from a prescribed light sending unit toward the physical body and is reflected at the physical body; a second estimation unit configured to estimate at least either one of a position or an attitude in the real space of the prescribed visual point on the basis of result of estimation of the distance; and a control unit configured to control the light sent from the light sending unit in accordance with a situation regarding estimation of at least either one of the position or the attitude.
