Abstract
Provided is a content distribution server that is configured to improve the convenience of virtual space sharing formats. The content distribution server comprises: a participation accepting unit that accepts a participation request from another individual to participate in a virtual space used for distribution by a distributor; an information acquiring unit that acquires motion information indicating movement by the distributor and a participant participating on the basis of a participation request, as well as information on the virtual characters of the distributor and the participant; and a distribution unit that distributes live content based on video in virtual space obtained by synthesizing motion information acquired by the information acquiring unit with movement by the virtual characters.
