Abstract
An apparatus and method for generating a stereoscopic pointer. Position information designates a position of the stereoscopic pointer, including the depth direction of the stereoscopic pointer. Horizontal pointer position signals are generated based on the position information. The horizontal position of the pointer is set in left and right channels to a horizontal position shifted so as to correspond to a parallax of the position of the stereoscopic pointer in the depth direction. The stereoscopic pointer is displayed based on the horizontal pointer position signal.
