Electronic visual displays

摘要

An improved method and/or system to generate depth data for a 2D image for subsequent display on an MLD or other volumetric display. A multi-layered display (MLD) includes first and second display layers with one said display layer overlapping the other said display layer. The first display layer displays a first image and a second display layer displays a second image. The second image is synchronised with said first image such that an alteration of at least one image property of said first image triggers an alteration of at least one image property of said second image.

1. A computer-implemented method for processing data, said method comprising:
generating first data for displaying a first image on a first display screen of a display device; generating second data for displaying a second image on a second display screen of said display device, wherein said first and second display screens overlap; receiving an alteration of at least one property of said first image and generating fourth data for displaying said first image as altered on said first display screen; determining that said first image and said second image define a synchronized pairing of images, such that manipulations to said first image are reflected in said second image; responsive to said alteration of at least one property of said first image, determining an alteration of at least one property of said second image based on a relationship of said synchronized pairing between said first and second images; automatically generating third data for displaying said second image on said second display screen in accordance with said alteration of at least one property of said second image; displaying said first image as altered on said first display screen; and displaying said second image as altered on said second display screen simultaneously with said displaying said first image as altered on said first display screen.
