1. An interface apparatus comprising:
a plurality of force plates that are provided over a floor of a first real space; and
an output section that provides a simulation apparatus configured to generate a virtual space with, for each of a plurality of users, (i) an output signal from a force plate which has detected a foot pressure of a user and (ii) a first signal indicating a position of the user on the floor and a posture of the user, the position and the posture each having been specified in accordance with a position of the force plate in the first real space, wherein
the output signal indicates at least a floor reaction force,
in a case where the floor reaction force decreases temporarily, the output section identifies that the posture of the user is a sitting posture, and
in a case where the floor reaction force increases temporarily, the output section identifies that the posture of the user is a standing posture.
