Abstract

An apparatus and method for displaying images are described, the apparatus comprising: (i) a display device for displaying an image representing a three-dimensional scene, wherein a depth in said scene is specified as a depth of interest; and (ii) control means for providing a signal for controlling a focal length of lens means for viewing said image, said signal depending on said depth of interest. The apparatus may be adapted to display a left-eye image and a right-eye image to provide a stereoscopic image of the three-dimensional scene. Thereby, the focal length of the lens means may be controlled to reduce a difference between vergence distance and focal distance when a viewer fixates and focuses on a part of the scene at the depth of interest.
