1. An image processing method for converting two-dimensional images into three-dimensional images, comprising the steps of:

  • defining and preserving in its entirety a virtual object in an image as if objects in front of the virtual object are not present in the image; and

    employing a depth adjustment algorithm to reposition pixels of the virtual object within the image not affecting the objects in front of the virtual object to create a three-dimensional image in which depth is perceivable by a viewer.
