Method and apparatus for generating three-dimensional content based on user preferences

摘要

An approach is provided for enabling viewers to control the depth of three-dimensional content rendered via a set-top box. A 3D content platform receives a user input for specifying a user identifier and a mode of operation of a set-top box. A depth setting parameter is determined based on user profile information related to the user identifier. Content is then presented for display via the set-top box at the dept setting corresponding to the parameter.
