Abstract
An optical disc is encoded with first, second, and third sets of video data. The first set of video data is for generating a first video stream for a first eye of a viewer. The second and third sets of video data are for second and third video streams for a second eye of a viewer. The first and second sets of video data provide a first level of three-dimensional (3D) viewing depth, and the first and third sets of video data provide a second level of 3D viewing depth.
Claims18
An optical disc encoded with data comprising:
- a first set of video data for generating a first video stream for a first eye of a viewer;
- a second set of video data for generating a second video stream for a second eye of the viewer;
- a third set of video data for generating a third video stream for the second eye of the viewer;
- and
- first control information that causes an optical disc player to enable interchange of playback of the second and third video streams, in conjunction with playback of the first video stream, at a time indicated by the first control information.
- wherein the first and second sets of video data, provide a first level of three-dimensional (3D) viewing depth, and the first and third sets of video data provide a second level of 3D viewing depth.
3 more elements
An optical disc player, comprising:
- a motor to rotate an optical disc;
- and
- a view selector to:
- select a first set of video data read from the optical disc for generation of a first video stream for presentation to a first eye of a viewer;
- select, based on a three-dimensional (3D) depth selection value provided to the optical disc player by a viewer, one of a second set of video data and a third set video data read from the optical disc for generation of a second video stream for presentation to a second eye of the viewer;
- wherein the first video stream and the second video stream are viewable together to provide a first 3D viewing depth;
- and the first video stream and the third video stream are viewable together to provide a second 3D viewing depth.
4 more elements
A method, comprising:
- decoding a first video stream from video data read from an optical disc and presenting the first video stream for viewing via a first eye of a viewer;
- decoding one of a second video stream and a third video stream from the video data read from the optical disc and presenting the one of the second video stream and the third video stream for viewing via a second eye of the viewer;
- selecting the one of the second and third video streams to decode based on a three-dimensional (3D) depth selection value provided by the viewer;
- wherein the first video stream and the second video stream are viewable together to provide a first 3D viewing depth;
- and the first video stream and the third video stream are viewable together to provide a second 3D viewing depth.
