Abstract
Stereoscopic image viewing eyewear includes a left-eye shutter that controls a visual field of a viewer's left eye, a right-eye shutter that controls a visual field of a viewer's right eye, a distance determiner that detects a distance between the display device and the eyewear and determines whether the detected distance is smaller than a predetermined value, and a shutter controller that controls open and close of the left-eye shutter and the right-eye shutter based on the determined result of the distance determiner to cause the viewer to view the stereoscopic image when the detected distance is larger than a predetermined value, and to cause the viewer to view a non-stereoscopic image when the detected distance is smaller than the predetermined value.
