Electronic apparatus and method for controlling the same

1. An electronic apparatus comprising:

an outputter configured to output an image comprising driving information on a first vehicle;

a sensor;

a camera configured to photograph an object outside the first vehicle; and

a processor configured to:

in response to an x, y position of a gaze of a user sensed by the sensor being included in a specific region on a virtual x-y plane, control the outputter to output the image, and

control the outputter to control a depth and an image display property of the image,

wherein the image display property comprises at least one from among a color, a size and a transparency of the image,

wherein a depth of a z-axis corresponds to a focus of the sensed gaze, and

wherein the process is further configured to identify a second region which is adjacent to a first region where the object is viewed through a windshield of the first vehicle as an output region for outputting the image comprising the driving information based on the image photographed by the camera.

2. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein in response to a gaze coordinate representing a direction of the sensed gaze on the virtual x-y plane being located in a predetermined specific region of the virtual x-y plane, the processor identifies that the direction of the sensed gaze points the specific region.

3. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the processor identifies an output position of the image comprising the driving information based on a distance to an object corresponding to the position on the plane of the sensed gaze.

4. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein in response to a direction of the sensed gaze moving from the outside to the inside of the specific region, the processor outputs the image comprising the driving information to the output position identified based on the depth of the focus.

5. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the processor identifies the output position of the image comprising the driving information to be proportional to the depth of the focus of the sensed gaze.

6. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the processor identifies a region of the windshield of the first vehicle corresponding to the specific region as the output region for outputting the image comprising the driving information.

7. The apparatus as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the output region is fixed to a region of the windshield by setting the specific region.

8. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the object includes the second vehicle located in front of the first vehicle, and

wherein the processor identifies a lower part of a region where the second vehicle is viewed through the windshield as the output region.

9. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein in response to a direction of the sensed gaze not pointing the specific region, the processor increases the transparency of the image comprising the driving information and outputs the driving information.

10. A method for controlling an electronic apparatus, the method comprising:

sensing a gaze of a user in a first vehicle;

photographing an object outside the first vehicle;

identifying whether an x, y position of the gaze of the user sensed by the sensor is included in a specific region on a virtual x-y plane;

outputting an image, in response to identifying that the x, y position on the virtual x-y plane of the sensed gaze is included in the specific region; and

controlling a depth and an image display property of the image comprising the driving information,

wherein the image display property comprises at least one of a color, a size and a transparency of the image,

wherein a depth on a z-axis corresponds to a focus of the sensed gaze, and

wherein the identifying comprises identifying a second region which is adjacent to a first region where the object is viewed through a windshield of the first vehicle as an output region for outputting the image comprising the driving information based on the image.

11. The method as claimed in claim 10 , wherein in response to a gaze coordinate representing a direction of the sensed gaze on the virtual x-y plane being located in a predetermined specific region of the virtual x-y plane, the identifying comprises t identifying that the direction of the sensed gaze points the specific region.

12. The method as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the outputting comprises identifying an output position of the image comprising the driving information based on a distance to an object corresponding to the position on the plane of the sensed gaze and outputting the driving information to the identified output position.

13. The method as claimed in claim 10 , wherein in response to a direction of the sensed gaze moving from the outside to the inside of the specific region, the outputting comprises outputting the image comprising the driving information to the output position identified based on the depth of the focus.

14. The method as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the outputting comprises identifying the output position of the image comprising the driving information to be proportional to the depth of the focus of the sensed gaze.

15. The method as claimed in claim 10 , further comprising:

identifying a region of the windshield of the first vehicle corresponding to the specific region as the output region for outputting the image comprising the driving information.

16. The method as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the output region is fixed to one region of the windshield by setting the specific region.
