APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING MEDIA CONTENT
First Claim
1. A set top box, comprising a controller to:
- receive two-dimensional image content comprising a plurality of images;
identify an object in a first image of the plurality of images;
identify the object in a second image of the plurality of images;
determine a perspective angle difference between the first and second images;
generate a third image using the first and second images when the perspective angle difference satisfies a three-dimensional angle threshold;
generate three-dimensional image content using the first image and the third image; and
provide the three-dimensional image content to a display device operably coupled with the set top box.

Abstract
A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a set top box having a controller to receive two-dimensional image content comprising a plurality of images, identify an object in a first image of the plurality of images, identify the object in a second image of the plurality of images, determine a perspective angle difference between the first and second images, generate a third image using the first and second images when the perspective angle difference satisfies a three-dimensional angle threshold, generate three-dimensional image content using the first image and the third image, and provide the three-dimensional image content to a display device operably coupled with the set top box. Other embodiments are disclosed.
