Abstract
Method for delivering an immersive remote desktop involves a client server session involving a server computer and a client computer. The server computer accesses image data representative of at least one of an application window and a desktop associated with a graphical user interface (GUI). The image data is used to generate one or more stereoscopic image pairs. The client computer incorporates the one or more stereoscopic image pairs in a 3D composite presentation in which one or more of the stereoscopic image pairs are displayed in side-by-side (SBS) configuration to create a 3D visual effect.
Claims18
A method for delivering an immersive remote desktop, comprising:
- initiating a client server session involving a server computer and a client computer;
- accessing in the server computer image data representative of at least one of an application window and a desktop associated with a graphical user interface (GUI);
- using the image data to generate one or more stereoscopic image pairs, each said stereoscopic image pair comprising two images having isosceles trapezoid shapes and showing two views of a same said application window or desktop at different oblique viewing angles;
- operating the client computer to incorporate the one or more stereoscopic image pairs in a 3D composite presentation in which one or more of the stereoscopic image pairs are displayed in side-by-side (SBS) configuration to create a 3D visual effect;
- wherein the 3D composite presentation includes stereoscopic image pairs comprising at least one of the application window and the desktop.
A method for delivering an immersive remote desktop, comprising:
- initiating a Windows presentation client server session involving a server computer and a client computer;
- accessing in the server computer image data representative of at least one of an application window and a desktop associated with a graphical user interface (GUI);
- communicating the image data to the client computer using a Windows presentation services protocol;
- using the image data to generate one or more stereoscopic image pairs at the client computer, each said stereoscopic image pair comprising two images having isosceles trapezoid shapes and showing two views of a same said application window or desktop at different oblique viewing angles;
- operating the client computer to incorporate the one or more stereoscopic image pairs in a 3D composite presentation in which one or more of the stereoscopic image pairs are displayed in side-by-side (SBS) configuration to create a 3D visual effect;
- wherein the 3D composite presentation includes stereoscopic image pairs comprising at least one of an application window and the desktop.
A method for delivering an immersive remote desktop, comprising:
- initiating a Windows presentation client server session involving a server computer and a client computer;
- instantiating at least a first application window at the server computer using an application comprising a 3D modeling type of software which includes one or more 3D models which are used to render a displayed image in 2D;
- using a 3D processing component at the server computer to generate a stereoscopic image pair by rendering two images having isosceles trapezoid shapes and showing two views of the same physical body represented by the one or more 3D models from two different oblique viewing angles;
- communicating the stereoscopic image pair to the client computer;
- operating the client computer to incorporate the stereoscopic image pair in a 3D composite presentation in which the stereoscopic image pair is displayed in side-by-side (SBS) configuration to create a 3D visual effect.
