Abstract
A camera device and a display device are configured to enable changing direction of capturing a stereoscopic image using a camera pair, according to an operator's motion. The camera device includes a rotatable camera base on which the stereoscopic camera pair is mounted, a motor configured to rotate the camera base, and a communication interface arranged to receive a movement signal corresponding to the operator's motion. The display device transmits the movement signal to enable the camera device to align the image capture direction with the operator view, receives stereoscopic images covering more than the operator view from the camera device, and displays a sector of the stereoscopic images corresponding to the operator view.
