Abstract
What is disclosed is an apparatus, method, and system for integrating supplemental information into one image of a three-dimensional image such that the integrated information is generally more clearly visible when viewing the three-dimensional image with only one eye.
Claims19
A method of operating a communication device, comprising:
- integrating supplemental information into only one of at least two images of a three-dimensional image;
- combining the at least two images to form a three-dimensional image;
- and
- displaying the three-dimensional image via a display device, where the supplemental information is generally not identifiable when the three-dimensional image is viewed by two eyes, and wherein the supplemental information is generally more clearly visible when viewed by only one eye.
1 more element
A computer apparatus comprising:
- user interface software that when executed by a processor directs the computer apparatus to determine if a user has only one eye open;
- integration software to direct the processor to integrate supplemental information into only one of at least two images of a three-dimensional image, if it is determined that user has only one eye open;
- and
- display software to direct the processor to combine the at least two images to form a three-dimensional image, where the supplemental information is generally not identifiable when the three-dimensional image is viewed by two eyes, and wherein the supplemental information is generally more clearly displayed when a user had only one eye open;
- and
- a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having the user interface software, the integration, and the display software stored thereon.
3 more elements
A wireless communication device having a plurality of applications available for use by a user, the wireless communication device comprising:
- a processing system configured to integrate supplemental information into only one of at least two images of a three-dimensional image, and combine the at least two images to form a three-dimensional image, where the supplemental information is generally not identifiable when the three-dimensional image is viewed by two eyes, and wherein the supplemental information is generally more clearly visible when viewed by only one eye;
- and
- a display configured to present to the user the three-dimensional image and the supplementary information.
