The present disclosure relates to an information processing apparatus and information processing method that are aimed at enabling arrangements of a plurality of photographing devices to be easily set to an optimum arrangement for generation of three-dimensional data. An evaluation section calculates an evaluation value of an arrangement for generation of the three-dimensional data on the basis of the arrangements of the plurality of photographing devices that photograph two-dimensional image data used to generate the three-dimensional data of a photographic object. For example, the present disclosure is applicable to the information processing apparatus etc. that display information indicating the arrangements of the plurality of photographing devices that photograph the two-dimensional image data used to generate the three-dimensional data of the photographic object.
