Head-mountable display system
First Claim
1. A method of operation of a head mountable display (HMD) system in which a stereoscopic image formed by a first image and a second image is displayed with respect to a virtual display screen (VDS) position for the stereoscopic image, the method comprising the steps of:
- setting, by one or more processors including at least one of an image processor and a display controller, a VDS position for a panoramic stereoscopic image for display in response to a depth parameter of a region of interest (ROI) in respect of the stereoscopic image for display, in which the VDS position is determined based on a displacement between a position of the first image and a position of the second image, and a radial distance of the VDS from the head of a viewer of the HMD varies according to an orientation of the viewer'"'"'s head; and
generating, by one or more processors including at least the display controller, the stereoscopic image for display having an image parallax appropriate to the VDS position set by the setting step.

Abstract
A method of operation of a head mountable display (HMD) system, in which stereoscopic images are displayed with respect to a virtual display screen (VDS) position, is provided. The method includes setting a VDS position for a stereoscopic image for display in response to a depth parameter of a region of interest (ROI) in respect of the stereoscopic image for display. The method also includes generating the stereoscopic image for display having an image parallax appropriate to the VDS position set by the setting step.

12. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium that stores computer instructions thereon, the instructions, when executed by a computer including one or more processors including at least one of an image processor and a display controller, cause the computer to carry out a method of operation of a head mountable display (HMD) system in which a stereoscopic image formed by a first image and a second image is displayed with respect to a virtual display screen (VDS) position for the stereoscopic image, the method comprising the steps of:
-
setting, by at least one of the image processor and the display controller a VDS position for a panoramic stereoscopic image for display in response to a depth parameter of a region of interest (ROI) in respect of the stereoscopic image for display, in which the VDS position is determined based on a displacement between a position of the first image and a position of the second image, and a radial distance of the VDS from the head of a viewer of the HMD varies according to an orientation of the viewer'"'"'s head; and generating, by one or more processors including at least the display controller, the stereoscopic image for display having an image parallax appropriate to the VDS position set by the setting step.

13. A head mountable display (HMD) system in which a stereoscopic image formed by a first image and a second image is displayed with respect to a virtual display screen (VDS) position for the stereoscopic image, the system comprising an image processor and a display controller:
-
at least one of the image processor and the display controller being configured to set a VDS position for a panoramic stereoscopic image for display in response to a depth parameter of a region of interest (ROI) in respect of the stereoscopic image for display, in which the VDS position is determined based on a displacement between a position of the first image and a position of the second image, and a radial distance of the VDS from the head of a viewer of the HMD varies according to an orientation of the viewer'"'"'s head; and at least the display controller being configured to generate the stereoscopic image for display having an image parallax appropriate to the VDS position set by the image processor. - View Dependent Claims (14)
