To facilitate grasping a user and areas on which the user's line of sight is focused in an environment constructed in a virtual space.SOLUTION: A server device 10 has: an information collection unit 133 that collects, from a user terminal, position information in which the position of a user in a VR space is associated with time information, and operation information in which information indicating the user's operation is associated with the time information; a statistical processing unit 134 that performs statistical processing on the position information and operation information collected from the user terminal; and a creation unit 135 that, based on a result of the statistical processing, creates, on a three-dimensional map image of the VR space, a superimposition image obtained by superimposing a first element representing the statistics of the number of users visiting viewpoints, a second element representing the statistics of the number of times the user moves between the viewpoints, and a third element representing the statistics of the number of times and/or a period in which the user's line of sight is directed to contents displayed at the viewpoints.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】仮想空間に構築された環境において、ユーザ及びユーザの視線が集中するエリアを把握することが容易となる。【解決手段】サーバ装置１０は、ＶＲ空間におけるユーザの位置を時間情報に対応付けた位置情報と、ユーザの操作を示す情報を時間情報に対応付けた操作情報とを、ユーザ端末から収集する情報収集部１３３と、ユーザ端末から収集された位置情報と操作情報とに対して統計処理を行う統計処理部１３４と、統計処理の結果を基に、ＶＲ空間の３次元地図画像の上に、ビューポイントを来訪したユーザ数の統計値を表す第１の要素と、ビューポイント間のユーザの移動数の統計値を表す第２の要素と、ビューポイントで表示されるコンテンツにユーザの視線が向いた回数及び／または期間の統計値を表す第３の要素とを重畳した重畳画像を生成する作成部１３５とを有する。【選択図】図２
