Abstract
Disclosed herein are a device and method for displaying 3D images. The device includes an image processing unit for calculating the location of a user relative to a reference point and outputting a 3D image which is obtained by performing image processing on 3D content sent by a server based on the calculated location of the user, the image processing corresponding to a viewpoint of the user, and a display unit for displaying the 3D image output by the image processing unit to the user. The method includes calculating the location of a user relative to a reference point, performing image processing on 3D content sent by a server from a viewpoint of the user based on the calculated location of the user, and outputting a 3D image which is obtained by the image processing, and displaying the 3D image output by the image processing unit to the user.
