Electronic apparatus and video display method

#This application is based upon and claims the benefit of priority from the prior Japanese Patent Application No. 2011-93420, filed on Apr. 19, 2011, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

#Embodiments described herein relate generally to an electronic apparatus and a video display method.

#In recent years, personal computers that are capable of stereoscopically displaying video have been rapidly spreading. In a personal computer of that type, parallax images viewed from different viewpoints are displayed on a display, and different parallax images are seen with the right eye and the left eye. Accordingly, a user can view a video stereoscopically.

#FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an electronic apparatus 100.

#FIG. 2 is a schematic block diagram showing a system configuration of the electronic apparatus 100.

#FIG. 3 is a schematic block diagram showing the configuration of the video display system of the electronic apparatus 100 according to the first embodiment.

#In general, according to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a camera, a tracking module, a three-dimensional video adjusting module, a display, and an output direction controller.

#The tracking module is configured to recognize a position of a user based on a video picked up by the camera. The three-dimensional video adjusting module is output one of first video data and second video data by adjusting an input three-dimensional video signal, the first video data corresponding to a first stereoscopic video that appears stereoscopically when viewed from a predetermined position, the second video data corresponding to a second stereoscopic video that appears stereoscopically when viewed from the recognized position of the user. The display is configured to display one of the first stereoscopic video corresponding to the first video data outputted from the three-dimensional video adjusting module and the second stereoscopic video corresponding to the second video data outputted from the three-dimensional video adjusting module on a display. The output direction controller is configured to control an output direction from the display in such a manner that the video displayed on the display appears stereoscopically when viewed from one of the predetermined position and the position of the user.

#Embodiments will now be explained with reference to the accompanying drawings.
