  • Patent number: 8879830
    Abstract: A control method and apparatus for stereoscopic display is provided. The method includes: obtaining the position change information of glasses of a user (s101); and then calibrating the image of display according to the position change information of glasses of the user (s102). The control apparatus includes: an obtaining module (101) which obtains the position change information of glasses of a user; and a calibrating module (102) which calibrates the image of display according to the position change information of glasses of the user. Compared with the prior art, the present invention can effectively solves the problem that stereoscopic effect is not real, due to the stereo virtual image position changed along with the moving head position of the user.
