Abstract
A three-dimensional image generating device, a three-dimensional image generating method, a program, and an information storage medium provide for the ability to set the amount of disparity of a generated three-dimensional image to the amount of disparity according to the kind of display on which this three-dimensional image is displayed. A set value identifying section identifies the kind of display to which a three-dimensional image is output. An image generating section generates the three-dimensional image with the amount of disparity according to the kind of the display identified.

A three-dimensional image generating device that generates a three-dimensional image, comprising:
- an identifying section that determines a first setting value and a second setting value, the values being selected by a user to effect a viewing, by the user, of the image according to the values;
- and
- a three-dimensional image generating section that generates the three-dimensional image from a left eye image and a right eye image with disparity according to the selected values;
- wherein
- the first setting value indicates a kind of display on which the image is to be displayed in a three-dimensional display mode, the kind being selected from the group consisting of a head-mounted dual-screen display and a three-dimensional single-screen display;
- the second setting value indicates a three-dimensional depth user comfort level of the disparity for the selected kind, ranging from a lesser level corresponding to lesser disparity for the selected kind, to a greater level corresponding to greater disparity for the selected kind;
- and
- the disparity between the left eye image and the right eye image is greater when the kind is the dual-screen display than when the kind is the single-screen display, regardless of the value of the second setting.
A three-dimensional image generating method, comprising:
- determining a first setting value and a second setting value, the values being selected by a user to effect a viewing, by the user, of the image according to the values;
- and
- generating the three-dimensional image from a left eye image and a right eye image with disparity according to the selected values;
- wherein
- the first setting value indicates a kind of display on which the image is to be displayed in a three-dimensional display mode, the kind being selected from the group consisting of a head-mounted dual-screen display and a three-dimensional single-screen display;
- the second setting value indicates a three-dimensional depth user comfort level of the disparity for the selected kind, ranging from a lesser level corresponding to lesser disparity for the selected kind, to a greater level corresponding to greater disparity for the selected kind;
- and
- the disparity between the left eye image and the right eye image is greater when the kind is the dual-screen display than when the kind is the single-screen display, regardless of the value of the second setting.
A non-transitory, computer readable recording medium containing a computer program, which when executed by a computer causes the computer to carry out actions, comprising:
- by an identifying section, determining a first setting value and a second setting value, the values being selected by a user to effect a viewing, by the user, of the image according to the values;
- and
- by a three-dimensional image generating section, generating the three-dimensional image from a left eye image and a right eye image with disparity according to the selected values;
- wherein
- the first setting value indicates a kind of display on which the image is to be displayed in a three-dimensional display mode, the kind being selected from the group consisting of a head-mounted dual-screen display and a three-dimensional single-screen display;
- the second setting value indicates a three-dimensional depth user comfort level of the disparity for the selected kind, ranging from a lesser level corresponding to lesser disparity for the selected kind, to a greater level corresponding to greater disparity for the selected kind;
- and
- the disparity between the left eye image and the right eye image is greater when the kind is the dual-screen display than when the kind is the single-screen display, regardless of the value of the second setting.
