1. A virtual reality sharing method, comprising the steps of:
acquiring a first camera-captured video generated by capturing a video of a real space at a first viewpoint of a first virtual reality sharing terminal;
as a first displaying step, causing the first virtual reality sharing terminal to display an augmented reality (AR) object to be superimposed on the real space;
acquiring a second camera-captured video generated by capturing a video of the real space at a second viewpoint different from the first viewpoint;
as a virtual reality (VR) video creating step, generating a virtual reality (VR) video by compositing the first camera-captured video and the second camera-captured video;
as a viewpoint acquiring step, acquiring setting input information about a viewer's viewpoint for taking in the virtual reality (VR) video, the setting input information having been accepted at a second virtual reality sharing terminal; and
as a second displaying step, superimposing the augmented reality (AR) object viewed from the viewer's viewpoint on the virtual reality (VR) video viewed from the viewer's viewpoint and causing the second virtual reality sharing terminal to display the virtual reality (VR) video,
wherein the first camera-captured video includes meta data indicating a relative position of a real object viewed from the first viewpoint, the real object being a display trigger of the AR object,
wherein the second camera-captured video includes meta data indicating a relative position of the real object viewed from the second viewpoint,
wherein in the VR video creating step, the VR video in which the relative position viewed from the first viewpoint and the relative position viewed from the second viewpoint are added is created, and
wherein in the second displaying step, based on the viewer's viewpoint, a position of the real object captured in the VR video is compared with a position of the AR object viewed from the viewer's viewpoint, and when the position of the real object is closer than that of the AR object, the VR video in which the real object hides at least a portion of the AR object is displayed, and when the position of the real object is farther than that of the AR object, the VR video in which the AR object hides at least a portion of the real object is displayed.
