Safe mode transition in 3d content rendering

An apparatus coupled to receive images to be rendered in a 3D format, the apparatus comprising:

• an error detector to detect, in the received images, at least one image having a 3D content creation or conversion error that creates an uncomfortable 3D effect to a user, and to transition to a safe mode;
• a 3D enhancement module to perform, in the safe mode, 3D enhancement to the detected at least one image to avoid the uncomfortable 3D effect;
• and
• an image rendering engine to render the 3D enhanced image for display.

A system comprising:

• a user device configured to receive images to be rendered in a 3D format;
• and
• a safe mode module coupled to the user device and configured to
• detect, in the received images, at least one image having a 3D content creation or conversion error that creates an uncomfortable 3D effect to a user;
• transition to a safe mode, under which 3D enhancement is performed to the detected at least one image to avoid the uncomfortable 3D effect;
• and
• render the 3D enhanced image to the user device for display.

A computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause a computer to perform a method, the method comprising:

• receiving images to be rendered in a 3D format;
• detecting, in the received images, at least one image having a 3D content creation or conversion error that creates an uncomfortable 3D effect to a user;
• transitioning to a safe mode, under which 3D enhancement is performed to the detected at least one image to avoid the uncomfortable 3D effect;
• and
• rendering the 3D enhanced image for display.
