3d to stereoscopic 3d conversion

A device comprising:

• a memory storing instructions;
• a graphics processing unit (GPU);
• and,
• a processor operable to, upon execution of the instructions:
• intercept an application program interface (API) call;
• determine from the API call, a model view projection matrix for non-stereoscopic 3D content;
• modify the model view projection matrix to generate a modified model view projection matrix;
• cause the GPU to generate left view clipping coordinates based on the modified model view projection matrix;
• cause the GPU to generate right view clipping coordinates based on the modified model view projection matrix;
• cause the GPU to generate a left view based on the left view clipping coordinates;
• cause the GPU to generate a right view based on the right view clipping coordinates;
• cause the GPU to render an 3D image based on the left view and the right view.

An apparatus for converting non-stereoscopic three-dimensional (3D) content to stereoscopic 3D (3D) content, the apparatus comprising:

• means for intercepting an application program interface (API) call;
• means for determining from the API call, a model view projection matrix for the non-stereoscopic 3D content;
• means for modifying the model view projection matrix to generate a modified model view projection matrix;
• means for generating left view clipping coordinates based on the modified model view projection matrix;
• means for generating right view clipping coordinates based on the modified model view projection matrix;
• means for generating a left view based on the left view clipping coordinates;
• means for generating a right view based on the right view clipping coordinates;
• means for rendering an 3D image based on the left view and the right view.

A computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions that when executed cause one or more processors to:

• intercept an application program interface (API) call;
• determine from the API call, a model view projection matrix for the non-stereoscopic 3D content;
• modify the model view projection matrix to generate a modified model view projection matrix;
• based on the modified model view projection matrix, generate left view clipping coordinates;
• based on the modified model view projection matrix, generate right view clipping coordinates;
• based on the left view clipping coordinates, generate a left view;
• based on the right view clipping coordinates, generate a right view;
• based on the left view and the right view, render an 3D image.
