The present disclosure provides an information processing method and an electronic device. The information processing method is applied in an electronic device comprising or being connected to a display unit. The method comprises: acquiring a first target object containing a first display image and a second display image different from the first display image; displaying the first display image based on a first display parameter and displaying the second display image based on a second display parameter different from the first display parameter, such that a first user using the electronic device perceives a first distance value larger than zero, the first distance value indicating a distance between a plane where a display position of the first target object is located and a plane where the display unit is located; detecting user location information corresponding to the first user; and determining a second distance value between the first user and the first target object based on the user location information. In this way, the distance between the user and the first target object as perceived by the user can be determined more accurately.
