1. A method of high speed visualization of depth image-based three-dimensional (3D) graphics data, the method comprising:
storing simple texture data comprising N reference images;
obtaining a plurality of warped images by performing a 3D warping of each of the reference images of the simple texture data at a predetermined view point;
obtaining depth data and color data by performing a depth test of each pixel comprising the plurality of warped images; and
visualizing an object by using the depth data and the color data,
wherein each of the N reference images corresponds to N different respective view points.
