Abstract

A three dimensional system including rendering with shifted compensation.

Claims

1. A method for conversion of a series of two dimensional images into a series of three dimensional images comprising:

(a) receiving said series of two dimensional images;

(b) processing said series of two dimensional images to determine a respective depth map associated with each of said series of two dimensional images;

(c) processing different pixels of said two dimensional images in a manner to result in modified two dimensional images where different pixels of said two dimensional images are shifted and processing said depth map to render said modified two dimensional images on a display as said series of three dimensional images, wherein portions of said series of three dimensional images has the appearance of being behind a plane of a screen of said display and other portions of said series of three dimensional images has the appearance of being in front said plane of said screen of said display.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein said processing different pixels of said two dimensional images is based upon a location of a viewer relative to said display.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein said view pixel mapping is modified based upon the position of a view relative to the display to center the preferred location at the viewers position being provided together.
