Abstract
A multi-focal display represents a 3-dimensional scene by a series of 2-dimensional images located at different focal planes. The locations of the focal planes are selected based on an analysis of the three-dimensional scene to be rendered by the multi-focal display.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for selecting locations of focal planes for a multi-focal display in order for the multi-focal display to render actual content from a three-dimensional scene, the method comprising:
- analyzing the actual content from the three-dimensional scene to be rendered by the multi-focal display;
- selecting the locations of the focal planes based on the analysis of the actual content, wherein selecting the locations of the focal planes comprises selecting the locations based on K-means clustering of the locations of points in the three-dimensional scene;
- configuring the multi-focal display according to the selected locations of the focal planes;
- and
- rendering the actual content on the multi-focal display in said configuration.
A multi-focal display for rendering actual content from a three-dimensional scene by using a plurality of focal planes at different locations, the locations of the focal planes determined based on analysis of the actual content of the three-dimensional scene to be rendered, wherein selecting the locations of the focal planes comprises selecting the locations based on K-means clustering of the locations of points in the three-dimensional scene, the multi-focal display configurable according to the selected locations of the focal planes and rendering the actual content in said configuration.
A computer program product for use with a computer, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium having a computer program code embodied therein for selecting locations of focal planes for a multi-focal display in order for the multi-focal display to render actual content from a three-dimensional scene, the computer program code performing the steps of:
- analyzing the actual content from the three-dimensional scene to be rendered by the multi-focal display;
- selecting the locations of the focal planes based on the analysis of the actual content, wherein selecting the locations of the focal planes comprises selecting the locations based on K-means clustering of the locations of points in the three-dimensional scene;
- configuring the multi-focal display according to the selected locations of the focal planes;
- and
- rendering the actual content on the multi-focal display in said configuration.
