wherein, to convert the detected stereoscopic content, the program instructions are further executable to convert the detected stereoscopic content based at least in part on a format type of the detected stereoscopic content.
7. The non-transitory computer readable memory medium of claim 1 ,
wherein to render the 3D object, the program instructions are further executable to replace, wrap, or layer in front of an Original source material located on the webpage the rendering of the 3D object.
8. A three-dimensional (3D) stereoscopic display system comprising:
at least one processor;
one or more displays, coupled to the at least one processor; and
a memory coupled to the at least one processor, wherein the memory has stored thereon instructions executable by the at least one processor to:
detect, within a web browser, stereoscopic content in a two-dimensional (2D) webpage structure, wherein a 2D webpage associated with the 2D webpage structure is displayed within the web browser via at least one display of the 3D stereoscopic display system, and wherein the stereoscopic content is associated with at least a portion of content of the 2D webpage;
convert, based at least in part on a format type of the detected stereoscopic content, the detected stereoscopic content to a 3D object; and
render, via the at least one display and within the web browser, the 3D object, wherein the 3D object is rendered in front of the portion of the content of the 2D webpage.
9. The 3D stereoscopic display system of claim 8 ,
wherein the stereoscopic content is included in the 2D webpage structure via a non-natively stereoscopic format.
10. The 3D stereoscopic display system of claim 9 ,
wherein the non-natively stereoscopic format comprises one of:
a side-by-side format;
a top-bottom format;
an interleaved format; or
an anaglyph.
11. The 3D stereoscopic display system of claim 8 ,
wherein, to convert the detected stereoscopic content, the instructions are further executable by the at least one processor to:
buffer and resample the stereoscopic content.
12. The 3D stereoscopic display system of claim 8 ,
wherein the stereoscopic content comprises one of:
stereoscopic images;
stereoscopic video; or
real-time 3D object.
13. The 3D stereoscopic display system of claim 8 ,
wherein, to convert the detected stereoscopic content, the instructions are further executable by the at least one processor to convert the detected stereoscopic content based at least in part on a format type of the detected stereoscopic content.
14. The 3D stereoscopic display system of claim 13 ,
wherein to render the 3D object, the instructions are further executable by the at least one processor to replace, wrap, or layer in front of an Original source material located on the webpage the rendering of the 3D object.
15. A method for detecting stereoscopic content, comprising:
detecting, within a web browser, stereoscopic content in a two-dimensional (2D) webpage structure, wherein the stereoscopic content is included in the 2D webpage structure via a non-natively stereoscopic format, wherein a 2D webpage associated with the 2D webpage structure is displayed within the web browser via at least one display of a three dimensional (3D) display system, and wherein the stereoscopic content is associated with at least a portion of content of the 2D webpage;
converting the detected stereoscopic content to a 3D object; and
rendering, via the at least one display and within the web browser, the 3D object.
16. The method of claim 15 ,
wherein detecting the stereoscopic content comprises at least one of:
searching for at least one of images and videos; or
scheduling a re-search process for dynamic changes to the 2D webpage, wherein the dynamic changes occur after the 2D webpage loads.
17. The method of claim 15 ,
