Apparatus and method for measuring depth of three-dimensional 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.

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.
