Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of converting two-dimensional images into three-dimensional images. In the present invention, a right eye image signal and a left eye image signal between which there is relatively a time difference or a luminance difference are produced from a two-dimensional image signal, thereby to convert two-dimensional images into three-dimensional images. According to the present invention, therefore, it is possible to convert the existing two-dimensional image software into pseudo three-dimensional image software to obtain three-dimensional images.
