  • Publication number: 20230236019
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a first acquisition section, a setting section, a storage, and a display controller. The first acquisition section acquires map information. On the basis of designation of a region that is performed by a user, the setting section sets a content region with which content data is associated. The storage stores therein the set content region and the map information in a state of being associated with each other. The display controller causes the content region to be superimposed on the map information to be displayed. This makes it possible to easily create content that uses position information.
