INTERACTION OF STEREOSCOPIC OBJECTS WITH PHYSICAL OBJECTS IN VIEWING AREA
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a processor;
a memory; and
a computer readable storage medium to store one or more instructions, which when retrieved into said memory and executed by said processor causes said system to perform a plurality of actions comprising;
determining an original 3-dimensional path of a virtual object;
rendering a stereoscopic display of said virtual object in said original path; and
if a physical object is present in said 3-dimensional path of said virtual object, identifying a new 3-dimensional path of the virtual object and continuing rendering of said virtual object in said new 3-dimensional path.

Abstract
Changing the path of a virtual object displayed in a stereographic form when a physical object is encountered in the path of the virtual object. Sensors may be used to identify the location of physical objects present in an area of interest (in the viewing area), and the determined location information may be used to determine whether a physical object is present in the path of a virtual object. In an embodiment, a gaming system receives the location information and determines whether a “collision” would occur. In an alternative embodiment, the sensor receives information of the original path of the virtual object, determines the new path based on location information and sends back the new path information to the gaming system.

8. A method of enhancing user experience when displaying virtual objects using stereoscopic techniques, said method being implemented in a system, said method comprising:
-
determining an original 3-dimensional path of a virtual object; rendering a stereoscopic display of said virtual object in said original path; and if a physical object is present in said 3-dimensional path of said virtual object, identifying a new 3-dimensional path of the virtual object and continuing rendering of said virtual object in said new 3-dimensional path. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A computer readable medium storing one or more sequences of instructions causing a system to enhance user experience when displaying virtual objects using stereoscopic techniques, wherein execution of said one or more sequences of instructions by one or more processors contained in said system causes said system to perform the actions of:
-
determining an original 3-dimensional path of said virtual object; rendering a stereoscopic display of said virtual object in said original 3-dimensional path; and identifying a new 3-dimensional path of the virtual object and continuing rendering of said virtual object in said new 3-dimensional path if a physical object is present in said 3-dimensional path of said virtual object. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
