Abstract
According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus, which is capable of setting areas in a screen in either a 3D mode or a 2D mode, includes a 3D video display module, a candidate area calculation module, a 2D area determination module, and a 2D video display module. The 3D video display module displays 3D video on a 3D area in the 3D mode. The candidate area calculation module calculates, upon receiving a request for displaying 2D video, a first candidate area for displaying the 2D video, based on a position of the 3D area. The 2D area determination module determines the first candidate area to be a 2D area for displaying the 2D video if the first candidate area falls within the screen and is in the 3D mode. The 2D video display module displays the 2D video on the 2D area set in the 2D mode.
