A method, system, and apparatus is disclosed for producing enhanced three dimensional effects. The invention emulates physical processes of focusing wherein objects in the foreground and the background are in varying degrees out-of-focus and represented differently to each of a viewer's eyes. In particular, the invention divides out-of-focus light sources so that different partitions of such a division are viewed by a viewer's right eye as compared to what is viewed by the viewer's left eye. Thus, the invention interposes novel processing between a determination as to what to render in a synthetically produced three dimensional space and the actual rendering thereof, wherein the novel processing produces stereoscopic views from a two dimensional view by utilizing information about the relation of light sources in the three dimensional space to the in-focus plane in the space.
A method for rendering a stereoscopic view of an image, comprising:
A system for rendering a stereoscopic view of an image, the image including an out-of-focus image representation of an object in the image and an in-focus image representation of an object in the image, the system comprising,
A system for rendering a stereoscopic view of an image, the image including an out-of-focus image representation of an object in the image and an in-focus image representation of an object in the image, the system comprising,
