Abstract:
1. A method of processing source images having known viewpoints, comprising: detecting, by a sensor, a position of a viewer; determining a sight line direction of the viewer based on the detected position; determining left-eye and right-eye viewpoints of the viewer based on the determined sight line direction, wherein the left-eye and right-eye viewpoints are determined based on tangent points where two tangents parallel to the sight line direction touch a circle with a diameter equal to a distance between eyes of the viewer, and wherein the circle represents a circle virtually drawn along a plane parallel to a plane of a display screen; selecting data of at least one of the source images, based on the determined left-eye viewpoint, as raw left-eye data; selecting data of at least one of the source images, based on the determined right-eye viewpoint, as raw right-eye data; outputting left-eye image data, based on the raw left-eye data; and outputting right-eye image data, based on the raw right-eye data.
