1. A first information processing apparatus, comprising:
first light emission circuitry configured to execute first light emission of first invisible light for distance measurement; and
a central processing unit (CPU) configured to:
control acquisition of first depth information of a real space based on the first light emission;
control an application based on the first depth information, wherein the application executes display of a first augmented reality space;
transmit information regarding the application to a second information processing apparatus, wherein
the information regarding the application includes information regarding an application display update rate,
the second information processing apparatus includes second light emission circuitry,
the second light emission circuitry executes, based on the information regarding the application, second light emission of second invisible light for distance measurement, and the second information processing apparatus acquires second depth information of the real space based on the second light emission; and
control the first light emission circuitry to execute the first light emission once at a first light emission timing different from a second light emission timing of the second light emission of the second light emission circuitry, wherein the first light emission circuitry is controlled to execute the first light emission once in one cycle of the application display update rate.
