  • Publication number: 20120054690
    Abstract: Provided are an apparatus and a method for displaying a three-dimensional (3D) object. The apparatus may include a display panel to display a 3D object having plural faces, an object generating unit to rotate the displayed 3D object in a rotation direction of the apparatus to display a second face of the 3D object toward the user if at least one of a first operation and a second operation occurs, the first operation being that the apparatus is rotated while a user is touching a first face of the plural faces of the 3D object and the second operation being that the face of the user is rotated while the user is touching the first face of the plural faces of the 3D object, and a control unit to perform a function mapped to the other face displayed toward the user.

  • Publication number: 20120038750
    Abstract: Provided are an apparatus and a method for displaying a three-dimensional (3D) object. The apparatus may include a photographing unit to photograph the face of a user from a plurality of directions and to output facial data, a generating unit to generate facial proportion data from the outputted facial data, a storage unit to store the facial proportion data of the user for each photographed direction, and a control unit to determine a line of sight of the user by comparing the stored facial proportion data with photographic data of the user currently taken by the photographing unit and to generate a 3D object having a vanishing point varying depending on the determined line of sight of the user.

  • Publication number: 20110055769
    Abstract: A system to provide a three-dimensional (3D) location image includes a Global Positioning System device to identify location data corresponding to image data generated by a camera, a transmission unit to transmit the image data and the location data to a 3D location information server, a receiving unit to receive location display data from the 3D location information server, a generation unit to generate 3D location image data using the location display data, and a providing unit to display the 3D location image data. A method for providing a 3D location image includes generating image data, identifying location data associated with the image, transmitting the image data and the location data to a 3D location information server, receiving location display data from the 3D location information server, and generating and displaying 3D location image data using the location display data and the image data.
