Abstract
Various embodiments are presented herein that may render an image frame on an autostereoscopic 3D display. A computer platform including a processor circuit executing a rendering application may determine a current orientation of a virtual camera array within a three-dimensional (3D) scene and at least on additional 3D imaging parameter for the 3D scene. The rendering application, with the aid of a ray tracing engine, may also determine a depth range for the 3D scene. The ray tracing engine may then facilitate rendering of the image frame representative of the 3D scene using a ray tracing process.
Claims24
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor circuit;
- a rendering application operative on the processor circuit to:
- determine a position and orientation of a virtual camera array within a three-dimensional (3D) scene to be rendered on an autostereoscopic 3D display;
- and
- determine at least one additional 3D imaging parameter for the 3D scene, and a ray tracing engine operative on the processor circuit to:
- determine a depth range for the 3D scene;
- and
- render an image frame representative of the 3D scene.
A method, comprising:
- determining a position and orientation of a virtual camera array within a three-dimensional (3D) scene to be rendered on an autostereoscopic 3D display;
- determining a depth range for the 3D scene;
- determining at least one additional 3D imaging parameter for the 3D scene;
- and
- rendering an image frame representative of the 3D scene using a ray tracing process.
At least one computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a system to:
- determine a position and orientation of a virtual camera array within a three-dimensional (3D) scene to be rendered on an autostereoscopic 3D display;
- determine a depth range for the 3D scene;
- determine at least one additional 3D imaging parameter for the 3D scene;
- and
- rendering an image frame representative of the 3D scene using a ray tracing process.
