An apparatus for three dimensional (3D) art viewing includes one or more sensors and a processor operably coupled to the one or more sensors. The processor is configured to detect, using the one or more sensors, a position of a user. The processor is additionally configured to output, for display, an aspect of an image based on the position of the user. The processor is also configured to obtain, using the one or more sensors, movement data associated with a movement of the user. The processor is further configured to apply temporal smoothing to smooth the movement data. In addition, the processor is configured to map the smoothed movement data to a series of view indices. The processor is also configured to change the aspect of the image for display based on the mapped series of view indices.
