1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
an acquisition unit that acquires space information indicative of a position of a physical object in a first space around a first user;
a space construction unit that constructs, on a basis of the space information, a shared space that is shared by the first user and a second user who exists in a second space different from the first space and in which the position of the physical object in the first space is reflected; and
a determination unit that determines a position of the second user in the shared space, wherein at least one of the following holds:
(i) the space information further indicates a color and a texture of the physical object in the first space, and the determination unit determines a color and a texture of a virtual object of a physical object in the shared space, in such a manner that the color and texture of the physical object in the first space are further reflected; and
(ii) in a case where a virtual object relating to an avatar of at least one of the first user and the second user is brought into contact with a first space virtual object that forms a space corresponding to the first space in the shared space, a state of the contact portion of the first space virtual object is changed.
