one or more processors; and

a memory, wherein the memory contains one or more processor-executable instructions that when executed, cause the one or more processors to:

receive the two-dimensional video image sequence,

split the two-dimensional video sequence into the first and second video image sequences;

delay a playback of a first portion the first video image sequence with respect to the second video image sequence based on a pixel change;

output to the first display area, the first video image sequence, and

output to the second display area, the second video image sequence different from the first video image sequence, wherein the first and second video image sequences are created from the two-dimensional video image sequence.

2. The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein a first frame playback of one of the first and second video image sequence is offset by a time delay.

3. The mobile device of claim 2 , wherein an amount of the time delay is based on an amount of pixels that change from a first frame of the two-dimensional video sequence to a second frame of the two-dimensional video sequence.

4. The mobile device of claim 3 , wherein a location of the first display area on the single display changes based on a user input.

5. The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein a frame rate of the first video image sequence is different from a frame rate of the second video image sequence.

6. The mobile device of claim 5 , wherein one or more frames of the first video sequence are reorganized such that an order of frames within a portion of the first video sequence are different from an order of frame within a same portion of the second video sequence.

7. The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein the two-dimensional video image sequence is live.

8. The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein a frame rate of the first video image sequence is different from a frame rate of the second video image sequence, and wherein at a first point in time, content of a frame of the first video image sequence displayed at the first display area is the same as content of a frame of the second video image sequence displayed at the second display area.

9. The mobile device of claim 8 , wherein at a second point in time, content of another frame of the first video image sequence displayed at the first display area is different from content of another frame of the second video image sequence displayed at the second display area.

10. The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein at least one frame of the two-dimensional video sequence is not displayed at the first display area.

11. The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein the mobile device is coupled to a virtual-reality headset.

12. The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein the two-dimension video sequence is streamed over a communication network from a content provider.

13. A method of simulating a three-dimensional video from a two-dimensional video, the method comprising:

receiving the two-dimensional video;

splitting the two-dimensional video sequence into the first and second video image sequences;

delaying a playback of a first portion the first video image sequence with respect to the second video image sequence based on a pixel change;

displaying, in real-time at a first display area, a first video image sequence; and

displaying, in real-time at a second display area, a second video image sequence different from the first video image sequence, wherein the first and second video image sequences are created from the two-dimensional video, and wherein the first and second display areas are common to a display of a mobile device.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein a first frame playback of one of the first and second video image sequences is offset by a time delay.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein an amount of the time delay is based on an amount of pixels that change from a first frame of the two-dimensional video to a second frame of the two-dimensional video.

16. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

moving a location of the first display area on the display of the mobile device with respect to the second display area on the display of the mobile device.

17. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

adjusting a frame rate of the first video image sequence such that the frame rate of the first video image sequence is different from a frame rate of the second video image sequence.

18. The method of claim 17 , further comprising:

reorganizing one or more frames of the first video sequence such that an order of frames within a portion of the first video sequence are different from an order of frame within a same portion of the second video sequence.

19. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

adjusting a frame rate of the first video image sequence such that the frame rate of the first video image sequence is different from a frame rate of the second video image sequence, wherein at a first point in time, content of a frame of the first video image sequence displayed at the first display area is the same as content of a frame of the second video image sequence displayed at the second display area.

20. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

attaching the mobile device to a virtual reality headset.

21. The method of claim 13 , wherein at least one frame of the two-dimensional video sequence is not displayed at the first display area.

22. A non-transitory computer-readable information storage device including one or more processor-executable instructions that when executed, cause one or more processors to:

receive a two-dimensional video image sequence,

split the two-dimensional video sequence into the first and second video image sequences;

delay a playback of a first portion the first video image sequence with respect to the second video image sequence based on a pixel change;

output to a first display area of a mobile device display, a first video image sequence, and

output to a second display area of the mobile device display, a second video image sequence different from the first video image sequence, wherein the first and second video image sequences are created from the two-dimensional video image sequence in real-time.

23. The mobile device of claim 1 , further comprising overlaying one video image sequence on top of a second video image sequence and/or gaming feed.

24. The mobile device of claim 23 , wherein at least a portion of content on one or more of the video displays is altered or removed.

25. The method of claim 13 , further comprising overlaying one video image sequence on top of a second video image sequence and/or gaming feed.

26. The method of claim 25 , wherein at least a portion of content on one or more of the video displays is altered or removed.

27. The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein the pixel change is: a pixel change between frames, a rate of change between pixels, a color change between pixels, or a visual performance characteristic change of a pixel.

28. The method of claim 13 , wherein the pixel change is: a pixel change between frames, a rate of change between pixels, a color change between pixels, or a visual performance characteristic change of a pixel.
