Abstract
A stereoscopic image communication apparatus displays a screen image for right eye and a screen image for left eye on LCD 105, outputs images of the viewer obtained by cameras 103 to the receiving side, and displays images corresponding to the right half face and the left half face of the viewer based on the viewer's images on LCD 107. The images displayed on the LCD 107 are used as figures for selectively introducing lights from the screen images on the LCD 105, by lens 106, to the right and left eyes of the viewer. This enables stereoscopic vision without glasses for separating images respectively for the viewer's right and left eyes, and allows the viewer to move from the initial position.
