Creation and user interactions with three-dimensional wallpaper on computing devices

A method comprising steps of:

• capturing a sequence of original images of an original video, wherein the original images are two-dimensional (2D) and based on raw images or processed raw images, each of the original images being associated with a respective time coordinate on a time (T) axis for a presentation time and a respective spatial movement parameter of a respective original image in the original video, wherein upon selection of an original video as wallpaper by the user, a wallpaper image matrix is created and persistently stored in the memory, including respective sets of wallpaper images of a wallpaper video, such that:
• each respective set of wallpaper images provides an appearance of a spatial movement or rotation around the respective original image of the original video, and each wallpaper image within the respective set of wallpaper images corresponds to a different spatial movement parameter within the respective original image;
• presenting, via an image display, the wallpaper video;
• receiving, via a user input device, from the user:
• (i) a spatial user input selection to manipulate a spatial movement parameter of the wallpaper images, and (ii) a time user input selection to apply to the wallpaper video to move the wallpaper video forwards or backwards in time;
• in response to receiving:
• (i) the spatial user input selection, and (ii) the time user input selection:
• applying:
• (i) a respective spatial movement parameter associated with the spatial user input selection, and (ii) the respective time coordinate associated with the time user input selection, and
• presenting, via the image display, a wallpaper image at an angular orientation determined by the respective spatial movement parameter and at a point in time of the original video determined by the respective time coordinate.

A method comprising steps of:

• capturing, via a depth-capturing camera, a sequence of original images of an original video, each of the original images associated with a respective time coordinate on a time (T) axis for a presentation time in the original video;
• presenting, via an image display, an original image of the original video to a user;
• receiving, via a user input device, from the user one or both of:
• (i) a spatial user input selection to apply to the original video, and (ii) a time user input selection to apply to the original video;
• in response to receiving one or both of:
• (i) the spatial user input selection, and (ii) the time user input selection:
• applying one or both of:
• (i) a respective spatial movement parameter associated with the spatial user input selection, and (ii) the respective time coordinate associated with the time user input selection to the original video,
• generating a wallpaper image from the original image by:
• calculating:
• (i) a left image disparity map between a left pixel matrix of pixels and a right pixel matrix of pixels, and (ii) a right image disparity map between the right pixel matrix and the left pixel matrix;
• determining the respective spatial movement parameter of the left pixel matrix and the right pixel matrix along at least one of:
• (i) an X axis for horizontal position movement, and (ii) a Y axis for vertical position movement;
• filling up a left interpolated pixel matrix by moving pixels in the left pixel matrix along at least one of:
• (i) the X axis, and (ii) the Y axis based on the respective spatial movement parameter;
• filling up a right interpolated pixel matrix by moving pixels in the right pixel matrix along at least one of:
• (i) the X axis, and (ii) the Y axis based on the respective spatial movement parameter;
• and
• blending together the left interpolated pixel matrix and the right interpolated pixel matrix to create the wallpaper image;
• and
• presenting, via the image display, the wallpaper image associated with one or both of:
• (i) the respective spatial movement parameter, and (ii) the respective time coordinate.
