Method and system for displaying stereoscopic detail-in-context presentations

A method for generating a stereoscopic presentation of a region-of interest in a stereoscopic information representation for display on a display screen, said stereoscopic information representation including first and second images, comprising:

• creating first and second transformed presentations by displacing said first and second images onto a lens for said region-of-interest arid perspectively projecting said displaced first and second images onto a plane in a direction aligned with a viewpoint, respectively;
• displaying a graphical user interface (“GUI”) over said region-of-interest for adjusting said lens, wherein said lens includes a focal region and a base region and said GUI comprises a slide bar icon for adjusting a magnification for said lens;
• a bounding rectangle icon with at least one handle icon for adjusting a size and a shape for said focal region;
• a bounding rectangle icon with at least one handle icon for adjusting a size and a shape for said base region;
• a move icon for adjusting a location for said lens;
• a pickup icon for adjusting a location for said base it;
• and, a fold icon for adjusting a location for said focal region relative to said base region;
• and,
• displaying said first and second transformed presentations on said display screen.
