Abstract:
1. A display control apparatus that displays a stereoscopic image to a viewer, comprising: an input unit that inputs a first stereoscopic image and a second stereoscopic image to be displayed after the first stereoscopic image, the first and second stereoscopic image including a subject; a detection unit that detects a change amount of a projection between a partial image in a region of the first stereoscopic image and a corresponding partial image in a corresponding region of the second stereoscopic image, the change amount being a temporal difference between a first amount by which the subject looks projected forward in the first stereoscopic image and a second amount by which the subject looks projected forward in the second stereoscopic image; a determination unit that determines if the detected change amount is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold; a generation unit that generates a blurred image from the corresponding partial image in the corresponding region of the second stereoscopic image if the detected change amount is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold; and a display control unit that controls a display apparatus to display a blurred image in the corresponding partial region of the second stereoscopic image if the detected change amount is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold and to display the corresponding partial image which is not blurred by the generation unit if the detected change amount is less than the predetermined threshold.
