1. A method for processing a three-dimensional (3D) image, the method comprising:
acquiring a frame of a color image and a frame of a depth image;
generating a frame by combining the acquired frame of the color image with the acquired frame of the depth image,
wherein the generated frame comprises a respective line of the acquired frame of the color image and a corresponding line of the acquired frame of the depth image, and
wherein the respective line of the generated frame is sequentially arranged in order of a line of a frame of a left-eye color image, a line of the acquired frame of the depth image that corresponds to the line of the left-eye color image, a line of a frame of a right-eye color image, and a line of the acquired frame of the depth image that corresponds to the line of the right-eye color image.
