TECHNIQUES FOR DISPLAYING THREE DIMENSIONAL OBJECTS

摘要

Techniques for visual presentation of video objects on a display screen include providing an overflow area around a primary or active video display area. The video objects are selectively displayed in the overflow area to provide a sense of three dimensionality or giving an appearance that the object is spilling out of the display and is present at the display. Operational modes to selectively turn on or off the use of the overflow area may be encoded in video bitstream or may be configured via a user interface.

主权项

1. A method of generating displayable video content, comprising:
processing an encoded digital video stream to produce a first portion of displayable video area, wherein a video object partly occurs in the first portion of the displayable video area; generating, when a 3-D display mode is active, a remaining portion of the object in the second portion of the displayable video area; and generating, when the 3-D display mode is not active, the second portion of the displayable video area to visually suppress the remaining portion of the object.
