  • Patent number: 9204135
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention pertain to a method and apparatus for controlling what non-3D glass wearers see from a 3D display. Such control is accomplished by controlling the images displayed on a 3D display, which allows a 3D-glass wearer to see a 3D image and/or video content while controlling one or more of the following: the content of the right eye image, the left eye image, the timing of displaying the right eye image, the timing of displaying the left eye image, the polarization of the right eye image (for polarization based 3D), the polarization of the left eye image (for polarization based 3D), the shuttering of the right lens (for shutter based 3D), the shuttering of the left lens (for shutter based 3D), and other images displayed not available to the 3D glass wearer, and/or controlling other aspects of the presented images and/or presentation of the presented images.

  • Publication number: 20140184762
    Abstract: A three-dimensional viewing device for providing images to a user includes a receiver receiving source 3D synchronization signals from a transmitting device, wherein the source 3D synchronization signals comprise a source frequency and a source phase, a plurality of LCD shutters including a right LCD shutter and a left LCD shutter are for alternatively entering a translucent state in response to local 3D synchronization signals in response to the source 3D synchronization signals, and an adjustment portion for adjusting parameters of the local 3D synchronization signals in response to parameters of the source 3D synchronization signals.

  • Publication number: 20140133658
    Abstract: Embodiments of the subject invention relate to a method and apparatus for virtualizing an audio file. The virtualized audio file can be presented to a user via, for example, ear-speakers or headphones, such that the user experiences a change in the user's perception of where the sound is coming from and/or 3D sound. Embodiments can utilize virtualization processing that is based on head rotated transfer functions (HRTF's) or other processing techniques that can alter where the user perceives the sounds of the music file to originate from. A specified embodiment provides Surround Sound virtualization with DTS Surround Sensations software. Embodiments can utilize the 2-channel audio transmitted to the headphones.

  • Publication number: 20110090324
    Abstract: A method for providing 3D video images to a user includes while a right lens of 3D glasses is opaque, transferring a first left image to a display during a first frame, while a left lens of 3D glasses is opaque, and transferring the first left image to the display during a second frame time, while the left lens of the 3D glasses is not opaque, wherein the first frame and the second frame are adjacent, and while the left lens of the 3D glasses is opaque, transferring a first right image to the display during a third frame, while the right lens of the 3D glasses is opaque, and transferring the first right image to the display during a fourth frame, while the right lens of the 3D glasses is not opaque, wherein the third frame and the fourth frame are adjacent.

  • Publication number: 20100194860
    Abstract: A system, apparatus, method, and computer-readable media are provided for the capture of stereoscopic three dimensional (3D) images using multiple cameras or a single camera manipulated to deduce stereoscopic data. According to one method, a dongle or cradle is added to a mobile phone or other device to capture stereoscopic images. According to another method, the images are captured from cameras with oblique orientation such that the images may need to be rotated, cropped, or both to determine the appropriate stereoscopic 3D regions of interest. According to another method, a single camera is manipulated such that stereoscopic 3D information is deduced.

  • Publication number: 20100194857
    Abstract: A system, apparatus, method, and computer-readable media are provided for the viewing of stereoscopic three dimensional (3D) images using shutter glasses. According to one method, a wireless protocol is used to communicate stereoscopic synchronization information. The glasses may scan wireless, infrared, and visible light signals to deduce the timing necessary for stereoscopic synchronization with the display. The necessary synchronization information is then determined from the information in these signals. Other methods incorporate this technology into a mobile device, a cradle or dongle that attaches to the mobile device, or an otherwise ordinary pair of sunglasses.
