Abstract
In an example in accordance with the present disclosure, a system is described. The system includes a display device to display a digital scene. The system also includes a processor to determine, for a user, a maximum distance at which a difference between a left eye image and a right eye image are distinguishable. The system also includes a rendering engine to select a rendering format for different portions of the digital scene based on a comparison of virtual distances of the portions compared to the maximum distance.
Claims15
A display system, comprising:
- a display device to display a digital scene;
- and
- a processor to determine, for a user, a maximum distance at which a difference between a left eye image and a right eye image are distinguishable;
- and
- a rendering engine to select a rendering format for different portions of the digital scene based on a comparison of virtual distances of the portions compared to the maximum distance.
A method, comprising:
- determining, for a user, a maximum distance at which a left eye image and a right eye image are distinguishable;
- determining when the user is looking at a location in a digital scene that has a virtual distance greater than the maximum distance;
- responsive to a determination that the user is looking at a location in the digital scene that has a virtual distance greater than the maximum distance, rendering portions of the digital scene that have a virtual distance greater than the maximum distance in a first format;
- and
- responsive to a determination that the user is looking at a location in the digital scene that has a virtual distance less than the maximum distance, rendering portions of the digital scene that have a virtual distance greater than the maximum distance in a second format.
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium encoded with instructions executable by a processor, the machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions to:
- determine, for a user, a maximum distance at which a left eye image and a right eye image are distinguishable;
- determine when the user is looking at a location in a digital scene that has a virtual distance greater than the maximum distance;
- render portions of the digital scene that have a virtual distance less than the maximum distance stereoscopically;
- responsive to a determination that the user is looking at a location in the digital scene that has a virtual distance greater than the maximum distance, render portions of the digital scene that have a virtual distance greater than the maximum distance stereoscopically;
- and
- responsive to a determination that the user is looking at a location in the digital scene that has a virtual distance less than the maximum distance, render portions of the digital scene that have a virtual distance greater than the maximum distance as a single eye image.
