Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and program

An information processing apparatus (100) includes: an acquisition unit (105) configured to acquire material data to be used for generation of a virtual viewpoint image based on a plurality of captured images obtained by capturing an image of a subject by a plurality of cameras (101), the material data being material data represented by a first format; a conversion unit (107) configured to convert the format of the acquired material data from the first format to a second format on the basis of information for identifying a format of material data that can be processed by a different device that is an output destination of the material data; and a transmission/reception unit (108) configured to output the material data converted into the second format to the different device. 信息处理设备(100)包括：获取单元(105)，其被配置为获取要用于虚拟视点图像的生成的素材数据，所述虚拟视点图像基于通过多个照相机(101)进行被摄体的摄像所获得的多个拍摄图像，所述素材数据是由第一格式表示的素材数据；转换单元(107)，其被配置为基于用于识别作为所述素材数据的输出目的地的不同设备能够处理的素材数据的格式的信息，将所获取的素材数据的格式从所述第一格式转换为第二格式；以及发送/接收单元(108)，其被配置为将被转换为所述第二格式的素材数据输出到所述不同设备
