Abstract

A three dimensional system including a marker mode.

Claims (23)

1. A method for conversion using a processor of a series of two dimensional images into a series of three dimensional images comprising:

(a) said processor receiving said series of two dimensional images;

(b) said processor processing said two dimensional images to determine respective depth maps associated with said two dimensional images;

(c) said processor converting said series of two dimensional images to said series of three dimensional images based upon said depth maps;

(d) said processor processing said three dimensional images to simultaneously render said three dimensional images on said a display as a series of at least three spatially displayed three dimensional views across said display where at least one of said three dimensional views, and less than all said three dimensional views, is replaced with visual content not associated with said three dimensional images nor said series of two dimensional images that is readily observable by a user as not associated with either said three dimensional images nor said series of two dimensional images.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein said at least one of said views said includes visual content said not associated with said three dimensional images nor said series of two dimensional images is selectively enabled.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein said at least one of said views said includes visual content said not associated with said three dimensional images nor said series of two dimensional images is selectively disabled.

4. The method of claim 2 wherein said selectively enabled is automatic without user intervention.

5. The method of claim 2 wherein said selectively enabled is as a result of receiving an input from a user.

6. The method of claim 3 wherein said selectively disabled is automatic without user intervention.

7. The method of claim 3 wherein said selectively disabled is as a result of receiving an input from a user.

8. The method of claim 5 wherein said input by said user is a control on said display.

9. The method of claim 5 wherein said input by said user is a remote control for said display.

10. The method of claim 7 wherein said input by said user is a control on said display.

11. The method of claim 7 wherein said input by said user is a remote control for said display.

12. The method of claim 4 wherein said automatic is in response to said display being turned on.

13. The method of claim 12 wherein said automatic is automatically disabled after a predetermined period of time.

14. The method of claim of claim 2 wherein said selectively enabled is automatically disabled after a predetermined event.

15. The method of claim 14 wherein said predetermined event is a predetermined period of time.

16. The method of claim 1 wherein said visual content said not associated with said three dimensional images that is said readily observable by said user as not associated with said three dimensional images is a solid color.

17. The method of claim 1 wherein said visual content said not associated with said three dimensional images nor said series of two dimensional images that is said readily observable by said user as not associated with said three dimensional images nor said series of two dimensional images is a patterned image.

18. The method of claim 1 wherein said visual content said not associated with said three dimensional images nor said series of two dimensional images that is said readily observable by said user as not associated with said three dimensional images nor said series of two dimensional images is a checkerboard pattern.

19. The method of claim 1 wherein said visual content said not associated with said three dimensional images that nor said series of two dimensional images is said readily observable by said user as not associated with said three dimensional images nor said series of two dimensional images is a textured content.
