Abstract

A method and a device for adjusting depth perception, a terminal including a function for adjusting depth perception and a method for operating the terminal are provided. The method for adjusting depth perception includes: obtaining color and depth videos of a user; detecting a user's position based on the obtained depth video of the user; calculating a range of maximum and minimum depths in a 3-dimensional (3D) video according to the detected user's position; and adjusting a left and right stereo video generating interval of the 3D video to be rendered so as to satisfy the calculated range of the maximum and minimum depths. Therefore, during a 3D or multi-view video call, the 3D video having a three-dimensional effect optimized according to the user's position may be provided.
