An image capturing apparatus includes an image sensing device, a first acquisition unit, a second acquisition unit, and a display control unit. The first acquisition unit acquires an image acquired by using the image sensing device and three-dimensional information regarding a subject in the image. The three-dimensional information includes depth information regarding the image. The second acquisition unit acquires a shaping resolution indicating a resolution used by a shaping device to shape an object in a three-dimensional shape of the subject. The display control unit displays, based on the shaping resolution and the three-dimensional information regarding the subject, a relationship between a size of the subject and magnitude of the shaping resolution.

Provided is a technique for enhancing the display quality of a stereoscopic image. A display apparatus includes a parallax barrier, a detector, a predictor, and a controller. The detector detects a position of an observer. The predictor predicts, on the basis of a plurality of positions detected by the detector at past times, the position of the observer at a time coming after the past times, at which the plurality of positions have been detected. The controller determines a parallax barrier pattern selectively switching a plurality of barriers to a light transmissive state, and controls the parallax barrier on the basis of the parallax barrier pattern.

Embodiments herein provide a method for stereo-visual localization of an object by a stereo-visual localization apparatus. The method includes generating, by a stereo-visual localization apparatus, a stereo-visual interface displaying the first stereo image of the object and the first stereo image of the subject in a first portion and the second stereo image of the object and the second stereo image of the subject in a second portion. Further, the method includes detecting, by the stereo-visual localization apparatus, a movement of the subject to align the subject in the field of view with the object. Furthermore, the method includes visually aligning, by the stereo-visual localization apparatus, the subject with the object based on the movement by simultaneously changing apparent position of the first and the second stereo images of the subject in each of the first portion and the second portion in the stereo-visual interface.
