1. A 3D image rendering apparatus comprising:
- an image receiving device for receiving a first left-eye image and a first right-eye image capable of forming a first 3D image, wherein a first image object of the first left-eye image and a second image object of the first right-eye image are for forming a first 3D image object in the first 3D image, and a third image object of the first left-eye image and a fourth image object of the first right-eye image are for forming a second 3D image object in the first 3D image;
a command receiving device for receiving a depth adjusting command; and
an image rendering device, coupled with the command receiving device, for adjusting positions of the first, second, third, and fourth image objects according to the depth adjusting command to generate a second left-eye image and a second right-eye image for forming a second 3D image, so that the first image object and the second image object forms a third 3D image object in the second 3D image, and the third image object and the fourth image object forms a fourth 3D image object in the second 3D image;
wherein depth of the third 3D image object in the second 3D image is greater than depth of the first 3D image object in the first 3D image, and depth of the fourth 3D image object in the second 3D image is lighter than depth of the second 3D image object in the first 3D image.
