    Abstract: An information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a first acquisition section, a second acquisition section, and a determination section. The first acquisition section acquires a camera-based position indicating a position of a real object, the camera-based position being determined on the basis of a captured image of a real space in which there exists the real object. The second acquisition section acquires an output-wave-based estimation position indicating the position of the real object, the output-wave-based estimation position being determined on the basis of an output wave that is output to the real space from a position that corresponds to the real object. The determination section determines a reference position used to represent virtual content related to the real object, on the basis of the camera-based position and the output-wave-based estimation position.
