Abstract
At least two images that differ in some respect may be presented to a user. In response to viewing the at least two images, the user may perceive a certain visual effect that may or may not be present if the user viewed the at least two images individually. As a result, by presenting a different image to each eye of the user, the user may perceive a unique, a different, and/or an enhanced visual experience.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- presenting at least two images to a user, a first of the at least two images being presented to a first eye of the user and a second of the at least two images that is different from the first image being presented to a second eye of the user;
- receiving feedback relating to how the user perceived the first image and the second image;
- modifying the first image or the second image based at least in part on the feedback;
- and
- at least partly in response to the modifying, again presenting the first image and the second image to the user in order to cause the user to perceive an intended visual effect.
One or more computer-readable storage media having computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- modifying at least one of two images such that a first image differs from a second image;
- and
- presenting the first image and the second image via a display device to cause a perception of a particular visual effect, the particular visual effect being a visual effect other than, or in addition to, user perception of a three-dimensional visual effect.
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- memory;
- a modification module maintained in the memory and executable on the one or more processors to modify at least one of two images such that a first image and a second image differ from one another;
- and
- a visual effects module maintained in the memory and executable on the one or more processors to present the first image and the second image such that when the first image and the second image are viewed, a particular visual effect other than, or in addition to, a three-dimensional visual effect is perceived.
