Abstract
An apparatus for measuring a depth of a three-dimensional (3D) object includes a control unit generating the 3D object by adjusting parameters of a 3D pattern. A 3D display unit displays the 3D object with a preset depth. An input unit generates an input signal based on an input received from a user. A rail extends in a front and a rear of the 3D display unit. A moving body is movable on the rail. Movement of the moving body is adjusted based on the input signal. A distance sensor measures a distance to the moving body.
Claims18
An apparatus for measuring a depth of a three-dimensional (3D) object, the apparatus comprising:
- a control unit generating the 3D object by adjusting parameters of a 3D pattern;
- a 3D display unit displaying the 3D object with a preset depth;
- an input unit generating an input signal based on an input received from a user;
- a rail extending in a front and a rear of the 3D display unit;
- a moving body that is movable on the rail, wherein movement of the moving body is adjusted based on the input signal;
- and
- a distance sensor measuring a distance to the moving body,
- wherein the parameters are a size of the 3D object and/or a spatial frequency of the 3D object.
An apparatus for measuring a depth of a three-dimensional (3D) object the apparatus comprising:
- a control unit generating the 3D object by adjusting parameters of a 3D pattern;
- a 3D display unit displaying the 3D object with a preset depth;
- an input unit generating an input signal based on an input received from a user;
- a rail extending in a front and a rear of the 3D display unit;
- a moving body that is movable on the rail, wherein movement of the moving body is adjusted based on the input signal;
- and
- a distance sensor measuring a distance to the moving body,
- wherein the moving body is positioned at a position corresponding to a depth of the 3D object perceived by the user based on the input signal,
- wherein the parameters are a size of the 3D object and/or a spatial frequency of the 3D object.
A method for measuring a depth of a three-dimensional (3D) object, the method comprising:
- generating the 3D object by adjusting parameters of a 3D pattern by a control unit;
- displaying the generated 3D object by a display unit;
- moving a moving body from a first end of a rail towards the display unit;
- generating an input signal based on an input received from a user by an input unit;
- stopping movement of the moving body based on the input signal;
- and
- measuring a distance from a distance sensor to the moving body when the movement of the moving body is stopped by a distance measuring unit.
