Abstract:
1. A stereoscopic image processing apparatus configured to be able to combine and display a cursor on a stereoscopic image including a set of images with parallax, the cursor moving according to user operation input, the apparatus comprising: a generation unit configured to generate the cursor; an acquisition unit configured to acquire a parallax amount of the stereoscopic image at a location where the cursor generated by said generation unit is combined and displayed; a detection unit configured to detect a moving speed of the cursor at the location where the cursor is combined and displayed; and a determination unit configured to determine whether the cursor is moving based on the moving speed of the cursor detected by said detection unit, wherein said generation unit generates the cursor including a certain predetermined value as the parallax amount of the cursor if said determination unit determines that the cursor is moving, and said generation unit sets the parallax amount of the cursor to a parallax amount based on the parallax amount of the stereoscopic image acquired by said acquisition unit if said determination unit determines that the cursor is not moving.
