Abstract
A method, system, and apparatus are disclosed for producing enhanced three dimensional effects. The invention emulates physical processes of focusing wherein objects in the foreground and the background are in varying degrees out-of-focus and represented differently to each of a viewer'"'"'s eyes. In particular, the invention divides out-of-focus light representations so that different partitions of such a division are viewed by a viewer'"'"'s right eye as compared to what is viewed by the viewer'"'"'s left eye, and so that the identical in-focus representation is viewed by both eyes. Thus, the invention interposes novel processing between a determination as to what to render in a synthetically produced three dimensional space and the actual rendering thereof, wherein the novel processing produces stereoscopic views from a two dimensional view by utilizing information about the relation of light sources in the three dimensional space to the in-focus plane in the space.
