Method and system for displaying stereoscopic detail-in-context presentations
First Claim
1. A method for generating a stereoscopic presentation of a region-of-interest in a monoscopic information representation for display on a display screen, comprising:
- creating first and second transformed presentations by displacing said representation onto a lens for said region-of-interest and perspectively projecting said displaced representation onto a plane in first and second directions aligned with first and second viewpoints for said region-of-interest, respectively;
displaying a graphical user interface (“
GUI”
) over said region-of-interest for adjusting said lens, wherein said lens includes a focal region and a base region and said GUI comprises a slide bar icon for adjusting a magnification for said lens;
a bounding rectangle icon with at least one handle icon for adjusting a size and a shape for said focal region;
a bounding rectangle icon with at least one handle icon for adjusting a size and a shape for said base region;
a move icon for adjusting a location for said lens;
a pickup icon for adjusting a location for said base region; and
, a fold icon for adjusting a location for said focal region relative to said base region; and
,displaying said first and second transformed presentations on said display screen.

Abstract
A method for generating a stereoscopic presentation of a region-of-interest in a monoscopic information representation. The method includes the steps of: (a) selecting first and second viewpoints for the region-of-interest; (b) creating a lens surface having a predetermined lens surface shape for the region-of-interest, the lens surface having a plurality of polygonal surfaces constructed from a plurality of points sampled from the lens surface shape; (c) creating first and second transformed presentations by overlaying the representation on the lens surface and perspectively projecting the lens surface with the overlaid representation onto a plane spaced from the first and second viewpoints, respectively; and, (d) displaying the first and second transformed presentations on a display screen to generate the stereoscopic presentation.
