An apparatus for generating view images for a scene comprises a store (101) which stores three dimensional scene data representing the scene from a viewing region. The three dimensional scene data may e.g. be images and depth maps captured from capture positions within the viewing region. A movement processor (105) receives motion data, such as head or eye tracking data, for a user and determines an observer viewing position and an observer viewing orientation from the motion data. A change processor (109) determines an orientation change measure for the observer viewing orientation and an adapter (111) is arranged to reduce a distance from the observer viewing position relative to the viewing region in response to the orientation change measure. An image generator (103) generates view images for the observer viewing position and the observer viewing orientation from the scene data.

An input device according to one or more embodiments may include a light guide plate configured to direct light entering from a light source so that the light exits from a light emitting surface and forms an image in a space, the image being an object for an input action from a user; a sensor configured to detect an object employed by a user for the input action; an input detection unit configured to detect an input from a user on the basis of a detection result from the sensor for the object; and a notification unit configured to notify a user that the input was detected when the input detection unit has detected an input from a user. The sensor may be placed in a space opposite the light emitting surface of the light guide plate.

An augmented reality device for providing three-dimensional (3D) augmented reality and an operation method of the same are provided. The augmented reality device includes a multi-view picture generation unit configured to generate a multi-view picture including single-view images having respective individual characteristics, and generate an exit pupil including the generated multi-view picture, a waveguide configured to replicate the exit pupil generated by the multi-view picture generation unit, and an eyebox viewing zone generation unit configured to separate the single-view images based on the individual characteristics, and generate a three-dimensional (3D) image by outputting the single-view images in viewing zones in an eyebox corresponding to views of the single-view images.

A wide-angle optical system includes a pair of front side lens units, an optical member, and a pair of rear side lens units. Each of the pair of front side lens units has a negative refractive power. The optical member has a pair of inclined surfaces and a bottom surface, and the pair of inclined surfaces is disposed such that a line of intersection is formed on an object side.
