Abstract
The invention allows a 3D effect to be observed on non-3D specific screens by displaying multiple discrete views of a scene in a sinusoidal or triangle camera displacement waveform with a frequency of approximately 3 Hz to 5 Hz. The invention improves on the current method of using only two views, which results in a jarring experience, and provides methods and formulas to optimize the 3D effect. The invention may be used on computers, kiosks, gaming consoles, laptops, tablets, cell phones, televisions, gaming devices, internet webpages and websites, projectors (for movies or presentations) or other displays.
Claims11
A method or apparatus for smoothing the appearance of auto-stereoscopic 3D presentations, as follows:
- more than 2 views of a scene are displayed in a sequence within a camera displacement waveform in time, such as a sinusoidal or triangle waveform, such that the waveform repeats at a rate of approximately 3 to 5 Hz, producing a 3D effect for the viewer without the use of special glasses or screens, providing smoother 3D presentations.
