ESTABLISHING Z-AXIS LOCATION OF GRAPHICS PLANE IN 3D VIDEO DISPLAY

摘要

A television (12) for presenting video content in 3D has a video display (18) controlled by a processor (16) to present video content in a video plane and a user interface (UI) in a graphics plane. The processor receives (48) input indicating a viewer desire to virtually move the UI up or back along a z-axis that is perpendicular to the video plane and responsive to the input changes (50) the location of the UI on the z-axis. This may done by altering image disparity produced to create a 3D effect.
