Method and System for Displaying Stereoscopic Detail-in-Context Presentations
First Claim
1. A method for presenting a stereoscopic image with a graphical user interface (“
- GUI”
), the method comprising;
causing a display of the stereoscopic image according to a first height of a focal region of a stereoscopic lens; and
causing a display of a lens control icon of the GUI at a second height,wherein the GUI is configured to allow control of the focal region of the stereoscopic lens, andwherein the first height and the second height are not zero.

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.
