System and method for rendering dynamic three-dimensional appearing imagery on a two-dimensional user interface

摘要

System and method for rendering dynamic three-dimensional appearing imagery on a two-dimensional user interface screen of a portable computing device in dependence on a user's view-point of the screen. The method includes processing, on a portable computing device, data defining a plurality of user view-points of a user interface screen of the portable computing device. The method next includes rendering a first image of a constructed scene on the user interface screen based on a first determined user's view-point of the user interface screen of the portable computing device. The method then includes rendering a different image of the constructed scene on the user interface screen based on a subsequently determined user's view-point of the user interface screen and thereby presenting the illusion of a three-dimensional image of the constructed scene on the user interface screen.

1. A method comprising:
locating an initial position of a face based on visual detection, by a mobile device, of a user's pair of eyes; determining, based on the initial position, a first viewpoint relative to a screen of the mobile device; rendering a first image of a constructed scene on the screen based on the first viewpoint; after determining the initial position based on the visual detection, monitoring subsequent movement through input received from an accelerometer of the mobile device, to determine a distance of the face from the initial position; determining, based on the distance of the face from the initial position and without further visual detection, a subsequent position of the face; determining, based on the subsequent position, a second viewpoint relative to the screen; and rendering a different image of the constructed scene on the screen based on the second viewpoint.
