Abstract: Provided is an information processing apparatus (100) that includes: a movement history acquiring section (110) that acquires a movement history, based on an absolute coordinate, of a gazing point of a first user that gazes at a display region, in which the absolute coordinate is in a three-dimensional space displayed in the display region; and a display controller (120) that controls a display unit that displays the display region to visualize, to a second user, the movement history of the gazing point. This allows the gazing point of the first user to be shared with the second user without hiding a target object.
