1. An image processing apparatus that stereoscopically displays a two-dimensional image, comprising:
- a generating section that generates a left-side image and a right-side image by shifting the two-dimensional image left and right in a display region; and
an output section that includes the display region in which a region where the left-side image and the right-side image are not displayed together is arranged outside an effective field of vision, and that outputs, via the region in which the left-side image and the right-side image are not displayed together, the left-side image to a left eye and the right-side image to a right eye,wherein the left-side image is shifted by a distance whereby a line of sight of the left eye is shifted left by no more than three degrees from a parallel state, and the right-side image is shifted by a distance whereby line of sight of the right eye is shifted right by no more than three degrees from the parallel state.

Abstract
Provided is an image processing apparatus that stereoscopically displays a two-dimensional image, comprising a generating section that generates a left-side image and a right-side image by shifting the two-dimensional image left and right in a display region; and an output section that outputs the left-side image to a left eye of the user and the right-side image to a right eye of the user. The generating section generates the left-side image and the right-side image by shifting the two-dimensional image to the left and right within the display region by a distance no greater than a distance between pupils of a user.
