Apparatus and method for parallax, panorama and focus pull computer graphics

摘要

A computer has a network interface circuit to support communications with a client device. A memory is connected to the processor. The memory stores instructions executed by the processor to supply an authoring tool to the client device. The authoring tool is configured to solicit a sequence of image layers that form a composite image and image layer visualization parameters including a parallax parameter that specifies a range of horizontal motion or a range of vertical motion for an individual image layer, panorama parameters that specify individual images to be assigned to individual cube faces, and a focus pull parameter that specifies a blur parameter to be assigned to an individual image layer.

1. A computer, comprising:
a network interface circuit to support communications with a client device; a processor; and a memory connected to the processor, wherein the memory stores instructions executed by the processor to supply an authoring tool to the client device, wherein the authoring tool is configured to solicit:
a sequence of image layers that form a composite image, andimage layer visualization parameters including a parallax parameter that specifies a range of horizontal motion or a range of vertical motion for an individual image layer, panorama parameters that specify individual images to be assigned to individual cube faces, and a focus pull parameter that specifies a blur parameter to be assigned to an individual image layer.
