1. An information processing method performed by an information processing apparatus capable of communicating with a first user terminal and a second user terminal,
the first user terminal including a first display at which a first user looks,
the second user terminal including a second display at which a second user looks,
the information processing method comprising:
generating a first object image corresponding to the first user imaged by a first virtual camera installed in first virtual space;
generating a second object image corresponding to the second user imaged by a second virtual camera installed in second virtual space;
transmitting the first object image to the second user terminal; and
transmitting the second object image to the first user terminal,
wherein in the generating and transmitting the first object image, in the second virtual space, the second user is positioned at a second virtual distance from the second virtual camera at a distance equal to a first physical distance between the first user and the first display in real space, and is rendered by the second virtual camera, and
wherein in the generating and transmitting the second object image, in the first virtual space, the first user is positioned at a first virtual distance from the first virtual camera at a distance equal to a second physical distance between the second user and the second display in real space, and is rendered by the first virtual camera.
