Abstract
A technique for generating a three-dimensional (3D) image using a plurality of terminals is provided. The technique includes performing calibration of a distance between lenses in a plurality of terminals by using view images of a two-dimensional (2D) object acquired by the plurality of terminals, acquiring view images of a 3D object while maintaining a lens distance between the plurality of terminals which is determined based on the result of the calibration, and processing the acquired view images of the 3D object in order to generate a 3D image of the 3D object. The 3D image allows a user to experience the same sense of depth as viewing the object in the real world.
