Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for providing a stereoscopic interactive object comprising the steps of: (a) providing a display capable of displaying in stereoscope; (b) providing a system capable of motion tracking; (c) providing a stereoscopic image of an object, on said display; (d) tracking user'"'"'s motion aimed at interacting with said displayed stereoscopic image; (e) analyzing said user'"'"'s interactive motion; and (f) performing in accordance with said user'"'"'s interactive motion.

Claims

1. A method for providing a stereoscopic interactive object comprising the steps of:

a. providing a display capable of displaying in stereoscope;

b. providing a system capable of motion tracking;

c. providing a stereoscopic image of an object, on said display;

d. tracking user'"'"'s motion aimed at interacting with said displayed stereoscopic image;

e. analyzing said user'"'"'s interactive motion; and

f. performing in accordance with said user'"'"'s interactive motion.

2. A method according to claim 1, further comprising the step of adjusting the displayed stereoscopic image in accordance with the user'"'"'s interactive motion.

3. A method according to claim 1, where the stereoscopic image of the object is super imposed over a stereoscopic movie.

4. A method according to claim 1, where the stereoscopic image of the object is super imposed over a 2-D movie.

5. A method according to claim 1, where the stereoscopic image is a web browser image.

6. A system for providing an intuitive stereoscopic interactive object comprising:

a. a display capable of displaying stereoscopic images;

b. a camera capable of capturing motion on a video stream; and

c. a control box capable of receiving and analyzing said motion on said video stream from said camera and capable of displaying a stereoscopic image of an object on said display and capable of controlling said system based on said motion.

7. A system according to claim 6, where the control box is capable of interpreting a 3-D image from a video stream showing an object from all sides.

8. A system according to claim 6, where the system adjusts the displayed stereoscopic image of the object in accordance with the user'"'"'s interactive motion.

9. A system according to claim 6, where the system is used for video conferencing.

10. A system according to claim 9, where the video conferencing is between two or more participants.

11. A system according to claim 10, where the system is used for sharing stereoscopic 3-D images.

12. A system according to claim 10, where the system is used for integrating data from more than two participants.
