First Claim
1. A media processor, comprising a controller to:
- assign a first viewing apparatus to a first of one or more periodic time slots;
assign a second viewing apparatus to a second of one or more periodic time slots;
retrieve first user preferences from a first user profile associated with a first user of the first viewing apparatus;
retrieve second user preferences from a second user profile associated with a second user of the second viewing apparatus;
receive first and second stereoscopic media programs from a multimedia system;
generate a first adapted media program by adapting one or more presentation aspects of the first stereoscopic media program to conform to the first user preferences;
generate a second adapted media program by adapting one or more presentation aspects of the second stereoscopic media program to conform to the second user preferences;
cause a presentation device to present the first adapted media program during the first of the one or more periodic time slots; and
cause the presentation device to present the second adapted media program during the second of the one or more periodic time slots.

Abstract
A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, identifying a stereoscopic preference from a user profile associated with a user of a viewing apparatus, receiving a stereoscopic media program, generating an adapted media program by adapting one or more presentation aspects of the stereoscopic media program according to the stereoscopic preference, and presenting at a presentation device the adapted media program according to a time-division multiplexing or space-division multiplexing scheme for viewing by way of the viewing apparatus. Other embodiments are disclosed and contemplated.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, comprising computer instructions to:
-
identify a first stereoscopic preference from a first user profile associated with a first user of a first viewing apparatus; identify a second stereoscopic preference from a second user profile associated with a second user of a second viewing apparatus; receive first and second stereoscopic media programs from a multimedia system; generate a first adapted media program by adapting one or more presentation aspects of the first stereoscopic media program according to the first stereoscopic preference; generate a second adapted media program by adapting one or more presentation aspects of the second stereoscopic media program according to the second stereoscopic preference; cause a presentation device to present the first adapted media program according to a time-division multiplexing (TDM) or space-division multiplexing (SDM) scheme; and cause the presentation device to present the second adapted media program according to the TDM or SDM scheme; wherein the first viewing apparatus is adapted to enable a viewing of the first adapted media program and disable a viewing of the second adapted media program; and wherein the second viewing apparatus is adapted to enable a viewing of the second adapted media program and disable a viewing of the first adapted media program. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
