Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates interaction between a stereo image-capturing device and a three-dimensional (3D) display. The system comprises a stereo image-capturing device, a plurality of trackers, an event generator, an event processor, and a 3D display. During operation, the stereo image-capturing device captures images of a user. The plurality of trackers track movements of the user based on the captured images. Next, the event generator generates an event stream associated with the user movements, before the event processor in a virtual-world client maps the event stream to state changes in the virtual world. The 3D display then displays an augmented reality with the virtual world.
