Systems and methods for real-time conversion of video into three-dimensions

A system for converting two-dimensional images to three-dimensional images, comprising:

• an image processing unit configured to:
• receive a sequence of images;
• process at least two images of the sequence of images to create a depth map of an image scene;
• create a plurality of unique views from the depth map;
• and
• produce at least one interleaved image pattern from the plurality of unique views;
• and
• a display unit with a display screen configured with a lenticular lens which displays the at least one interleaved image pattern.

A computer readable medium containing instructions which, when executed by a computer with a processor and a memory, perform a process comprising:

• receiving a sequence of images;
• processing at least one image of the sequence of images to create a depth map of an image scene;
• creating a plurality of unique views from the depth map;
• producing at least one interleaved image pattern from the plurality of unique views;
• and
• displaying the at least one interleaved image pattern on a display screen configured with a lenticular lens.
