Scaling of three-dimensional content for display on an autostereoscopic display device

The invention relates to a method for driving a screen of an autostereoscopic display device to present a three-dimensional image to a viewer, the method comprising scaling of the three-dimensional image, taking into account (1) the viewing distance of the viewer's eyes to the screen; and (2) the recording distance of the object. In this way, a the three-dimensional image of one or more specific objects in a scene can be scaled in such way that the scene and the object(s) therein become a realistic part of the real environment of the viewer. It is also possible to display a background image on the screen wherein the background image is also scaled to realistic dimensions.
