1. A system for displaying three-dimensional media content on a planar display, the system comprising:

  • a receiver interface configured to receive the three-dimensional media content, wherein the received three-dimensional media content is received with closed caption information that includes caption data and location identifiers that define particular locations within imagery of the three-dimensional media content where the caption data is to be rendered, wherein the particular locations are planar regions within the three-dimensional media content where the caption data is to be presented; and

    a processor configured to direct the reception of the three-dimensional media content and to process the location identifiers received with the three-dimensional media content to thereby determine the particular locations of the imagery presented on the planar display that are specified by the location identifiers, and wherein the processor is further configured to generate the imagery corresponding to the three dimensional media content for presentation on the planar display so that the caption data is rendered at the particular locations that are specified by the location identifiers, and wherein the location identifiers place the caption data within the three-dimensional media content so that portions of the three-dimensional media content are presented in front of the caption data.
