1. An apparatus for creating a panorama, the apparatus comprising:
an image obtainer to obtain at least two images via at least two cameras; an overlapping area analyzer to analyze an overlapping area among the at least two cameras, and extract overlapping image information; an image segmentation unit to segment the at least two images into an object unit, and generate image segmentation information; a depth value extractor to extract a depth value of an object in the at least two images; an image focus setter to set a focus value based on the depth value for the plurality of segmented objects; and a panorama creator to create panorama content of which a focus is convertible using the overlapping image information, the image segmentation information, and the focus value, wherein the focus is convertible for a plurality of objects based on a user zooming in or zooming out, and wherein a virtual location of the user is calculated based on a zooming-in/out factor when a zooming-in/out viewpoint of the user moves.
