Abstract
A signal representing an eyeball accommodation detected by an eyeball accommodation detector provided for the left eye L is supplied to a shift amount calculator . The shift amount calculator calculates necessary shift amounts of a right eye and left eye image corresponding to the eyeball accommodation, and supplies signals representing the necessary shift amounts to image shifters R and L. According to these signals, the image shifters R and L horizontally shift a right eye and a left eye image signal from an image generator on a right eye and as left eye LCDs R and L, respectively, to obtain an adequate binocular parallax.
