Videotelephony with parallax effect

One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying software that is operable when executed by a first computing system to:

• receive, from a second computing system, video streams of a scene, the video streams comprising at least a first image and a second image that are simultaneously captured by a first camera and a second camera of the second computing system, respectively;
• determine, using a sensor system, a view angle of a viewer with respect to a display region of a monoscopic display associated with the first computing system;
• generate an output image of the scene by blending, according to blending proportions computed using the view angle of the viewer, at least a first portion of the first image and a second portion of the second image, wherein pixel values of the output image are determined based on (1) values of the blending proportions computed using the view angle of the viewer and (2) corresponding pixel values of at least the first portion of the first image and the second portion of the second image, and wherein the values of the blending proportions are determined based on a comparison of the view angle of the viewer to a predetermined view angle range;
• and
• display the output image in the display region of the monoscopic display.

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and a memory coupled to the processors comprising instructions executable by the processors, the processors being operable when executing the instructions to:
• receive, from a second computing system, video streams of a scene, the video streams comprising at least a first image and a second image that are simultaneously captured by a first camera and a second camera of the second computing system, respectively;
• determine, using a sensor system, a view angle of a viewer with respect to a display region of a monoscopic display associated with the first computing system;
• generate an output image of the scene by blending, according to blending proportions computed using the view angle of the viewer, at least a first portion of the first image and a second portion of the second image, wherein pixel values of the output image are determined based on (1) values of the blending proportions computed using the view angle of the viewer and (2) corresponding pixel values of at least the first portion of the first image and the second portion of the second image, and wherein the values of the blending proportions are determined based on a comparison of the view angle of the viewer to a predetermined view angle range;
• and
• display the output image in the display region of the monoscopic display.
