Abstract

The present invention describes a method for providing a three-dimensional display of a digital image. An exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a method for providing a three-dimensional display of a digital image including retrieving of at least one digital image from a storage memory on an electronic device, wherein the digital image comprises at least two digital image layers. Additionally, displaying to a viewer the at least two digital image layers of the digital image. Moreover, estimating of a change in a perspective of the viewer by a three-dimensional parallax display module based on a plurality of spatial orientation data. Furthermore, modifying, with the three-dimensional parallax display module, the display of the at least two digital image layers.
