1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:
circuitry configured to:
acquire, from a camera, an image of an operation surface from above, wherein the operation surface is configured to accept a hand-based operation input from users;
detect left and right hands of the users and arms corresponding to the left and right hands, from the image;
set one of the detected left and right hands as a benchmark hand;
set a base position of an arm of the benchmark hand as a benchmark position;
set a base position of an arm closest adjacent to the benchmark position in a direction based on whether the benchmark hand is a left hand or a right hand as a reference position; and
set the hand of the arm of which the base position is set as the reference position and the hand of the arm of which the base position is set as the benchmark position as a pair of the left and right hands of a first user of the users.
