SYSTEM AND METHOD TO DISPLAY A USER INTERFACE IN A THREE-DIMENSIONAL DISPLAY

摘要

A user interface on a three-dimensional display overcomes unsettling effects that arise when user interfaces are presented to users in a three-dimensional context. An extended border defines an extended portion of a background of the user interface. If the background is opaque, the extended portion of the background is blended with the underlying video or image. If the background is semi-transparent, user interface content is presented as appearing to project out of the screen, and the extended portion of the background is blended with the underlying video or image with variable blending alpha. If the background is transparent, user interface content is presented as appearing to project out of the screen, the video or image underlying the original background of the user interface is blurred, and the portion of the video or image underlying the extended portion of the background is blurred with variable blur radius.
