Abstract
An image display apparatus and a method for operating the same are disclosed herein. The image display apparatus may include a display to display a 3D image having a left-eye image and a right-eye image, a sensor to detect positions of a first viewing device and a second viewing device for viewing the 3D image, and a controller configured control a perceived view of the 3D image viewed through the viewing devices. The perceived view of the 3D image may be changed based on a position of the viewing devices or the user relative to the display.
Claims32
An image display apparatus comprising:
- a display to display a 3D image having a left-eye image and a right-eye image;
- a sensor to detect positions of a first viewing device and a second viewing device for viewing the 3D image;
- and
- a controller configured to request that a left-eye glass and a right-eye glass of one of the first viewing device or the second viewing device be switched if the detected positions of the first viewing device and the second viewing device correspond to opposite sides of the display.

An image display apparatus comprising:
- a display to display a 3D image having a left-eye image and a right-eye image;
- a sensor to detect a position of a viewing device for viewing the 3D image;
- and
- a controller configured to change an arrangement of the left-eye image and the right-eye image when the position of a viewing device for viewing the 3D image is beyond a 3D visible range and to display the changed 3D image including the left-eye image and the right-eye image on the display.
1 more element
A 3D viewing device comprising:
- a left lens and a right lens;
- a wireless communication interface that receives a synchronization signal from an image display apparatus;
- and
- a controller configured to alternately activate the left lens and the right lens based on a first timing in response to the synchronization signal and to change the first timing of the left and right lenses to a second timing when a position of the 3D viewing device is beyond of a 3D visible range of the image display apparatus.
