Abstract
When right and left images are presented on a projection plane which is a display plane with binocular disparity, an object located in front of projection plane P.sub.s can be perceived at the right position by accurately calculating the corresponding points while avoiding vignetting due to the picture frame of projection plane P.sub.s or by making it appear as if an occluding object at the frontmost plane (i.e. virtual frame VF) were present.
Claims3
A method for displaying a binocular stereoscopic image on a projection plane which is a display plane having binocular disparity, wherein image signals for displaying right and left images are to be produced without experiencing depth perception distortion, which method comprises utilizing in the space closer to the viewer than the projection plane only the space produced by a logical product of the right and left visual field spaces produced by right and left viewpoints of the viewer and the projection plane as right and left image production regions, while in the space farther than the projection plane the visual field spaces produced within respective solid angles formed by said right and left viewpoints and the projection plane are utilized as respective right and left image production regions, thereby removing distortion in depth perception.
A binocular stereoscopic image display method in which right and left images are presented on a projection plane which is a display plane with binocular disparity, wherein right and left image display regions are not matched on the projection plane, thereby producing a monocular region resulting in distortion in depth perception, comprising displaying a virtual frame by obtaining an image for the right eye on the projection plane by relatively enlarging the left display region and obtaining an image for the left eye by relatively enlarging the right display region, thereby reducing or eliminating distortion in depth perception.
